I'm still on the Chip bandwagon. He is unorthodox and super abrasive.
No doubt being behind the scenes at Oregon before being the head guy helped that transition, but if you can wait out the storm the results are there. He drafted files, super bowl mvp. I remember in Philly players were complaining how he ran them too hard before games and it made them tired, but stats and analytics showed they were performing better.
Maybe UCLA is cursed, can't explain Ricks implosion, but if they ride the next 3 ugly years out it will get better.
High octane smoke and mirrors spread offense with small, fast players had a shelf life. Oregon pushed it to the extreme and got further than any other team has (and probably ever will) using that system and those types of players. Even a Heisman QB wasn't good enough. There is no substitute for SEC style, smash mouth football when you're playing the top teams in the nation, so that's where we went. Stanford is always near the top of the conference and they did that by playing a different brand of football than most of the other PAC 12 teams. We out-Stanforded Stanford (not my term, axe Herbstreit) for most of that game, and will probably go to Palo Alto next year and deliver an epic ass kicking.
