Well this is kind of interesting news. From IrishIllustrated.com (via Rakes):
Guess Weiss wasn’t watching the Emerald Bowl.
DeWayne Walker did a good job in turning around the Bruin defense in 2006. But IMHO, as mentioned before, given how our D struggled against more free-wheeling, spread type college offenses, the jury is still out on him. But I guess ND is desperate for a defense. So they are willing to reach.
Anyways, perhaps Walker is staying put knowing there is a good chance Dorrell will get canned if he doesn’t make to a BCS game next season or, if he does, then he will be gone to the NFL. In that case, he can put himself in a prime spot for the UCLA HCing gig. We will see when that moment comes. For now, though, we will say Walker is a decent DC, but we’re not sure he has the experience to be a college head coach. We don’t want UCLA to make the same mistake it did with Dorrell (and Lavin) by hiring another assistant with no prior HCing experience whatsoever to run a major revenue high profile D-1 program.
GO BRUINS.
