Former UCLA quarterback Jerry Neuheisel will be only a sideline away from his dream job this weekend

will fulfill his desire to coach on Sunday. But he’ll be on the opposite sideline of his dream destination.

The Texas A&M graduate assistant eventually wants to man the spot his father, Rick, did for four seasons, guiding UCLA to victory at the Rose Bowl.

“Without a doubt,” the younger Neuheisel said during an interview with The Times late last year. “That’s my dream. I want to be the head coach at UCLA.”

Neuheisel’s first homecoming will put him in enemy territory when the Aggies face the Bruins in their season opener, though he’ll have a few familiar faces on his side.
