New Mexico could now become a more popular job. It isn't a bad one by any means.

Alford isn't a great hire for UCLA - but UCLA tried to hire greatness, and greatness said no.

It is a good job. Basketball first, rabid fan base, multi-bid conference...... no baggage that I know of...

I was always kind of a closet UCLA fan, but that ends now.
