With all the news surrounding the absolute incompetency of the UCLA athletic department to come up with a viable candidate and actually hire him or her, it looks like there has been a new potential development.
According to Evan Daniels of 247 Sports, it looks like Tennessee’s Rick Barnes has emerged as the newest favorite horse in the race.
And it’s not bogus.
Latest I've heard is that Rick Barnes and Lon Kruger have been interviewed for the UCLA job, with Barnes considered the frontrunner. He's 64, two years younger than Kruger, and is coming off a national-coach-of-the-season at Tennessee.
