It seemed to me like Foster didn't realize he was expected to give an opening statement until 10 seconds before he walked on stage. He hasn't been paying attention and his support staff did a poor job ensuring he was prepared. Either way, very embarrassing for him.
Or maybe Chip was successful at Oregon because he only had to make a strong football program a little better. Before Chip become head coach, Bellotti's Oregon teams won 36 games in his last 4 seasons, and played in bowls 12 out of 14 seasons. Add in Uncle Phil's financial support on top of that. UCLA was not in good shape and didn't have those advantages when Chip took that job.Cal88 said:
I thought Chip Kelly would work out there but it turned out he was already past his prime.

Foster's buyout comes with a declining percentage of his remaining salary over the remaining years on his contract. For instance, if UCLA was to buy him out after the end of his second season on Dec. 2, 2025, it would owe 60% of his remaining salary in Year 3 and 50% of his remaining salary in Years 4 and 5 a total of roughly $5.27 million. That buyout figure would drop to $3.35 million if the Bruins were to buy out Foster on Dec. 2, 2026, after the end of his third season.
Thats not true at all! I'm still perfectly motivated and within my right to root for them to fail! I hope all 4 lose every game from here to eternity (including, somehow, their games against each other).Grrrrah76 said:

I hope their beers are always warm and their steaks are always cold. I hope every step they take they stub their big toe and land on the corner of a Lego. I hope they someone spoils the ending of every movie they'll ever see. And I hope whichever lane they pick in traffic is always the slowest lane.
I hope that whenever they go to the bathroom they don't realize they're out of bath tissue until it's too late. I hope whenever they're on a plane right behind them is a toddler who won't stop kicking their chair and right next to that kid is their crying baby sibling. I hope a massive family is sitting in front of them at every live game, concert, and other live event they go to and fully obstructs their view. I hope their in-laws are always in town and always staying at their house. I hope the first bite of anything they're really looking forward to scalds their mouth and they can't taste the rest

Still, after the first 30 seconds he should have pivoted to, "We're here, we're ready, and I'm happy to take questions from the media now."

Poor guy? The State of California doesn't pay many employees salaries higher than his.
