"Steve Alford ain't making it to 2019."
He's a dumpster fire of a coach. He'll be the only UCLA coach in history to never win a conference title or make an Elite Eight. He's 23-43 against KenPom Tier A opponents and wasn't above .500 against them during his New Mexico stint either.
He just got slammed by Liberty at home and he's lost his players. UCLA needs to realize that there's talent on that roster, buy out Alford immediately, and bring in Hoiberg or Watson to try to re-energize the team.
The Pac-12 is absurdly shitty this year, there's a real chance that roster with a new coach could genuinely win the conference. Which they'd need to do, as the conference is more likely to have only one tournament auto-bid than it is to have an at-large.
