Like Walton trending to become the next coach at UCLA

[WILD]

It looks like Luke Walton's days as the Laker head coach are numbered. I know a lot of people might not want to hear this but he's now being rumored to become either the UCLA or ARIZONA future head coach. Luke Walton to become the UCLA head coach rumor has picked up a lot of steam in the last 24hrs as a real possibility. My sources are telling me it's a real possibility. I know that's the last thing Wildcat fans want to see happen. Let us know what you think about this.

Noooooooo. I want Luke to coach at Arizona. If he goes to UCLA I'll have to disown him. I hate that this is even a possibility.

I'd be okay with that as long as we get Kerr.

[KansasCityCats]

Disgusting.  Can't think of any other words to describe the thought of Luke wearing a blue tie...

Could you imagine listening to Bill Walton discuss UCLA on EVERY broadcast?  Even if he's calling a Wazzu/Gonzaga game...every other word will be "Bruins".  Ugh.

[FOOS]

I would never feel the same about him.....  he'd just be a 'former wildcat'....

I'd lose all faith that this administration can do what is right for the Athletics program if this were to happen.

Guess I'm a bit jaded but it's just business.  If you were him it makes sense.  Not sure if he has a family but if so he doesn't have to move, it's a prestigious job for his resume.  Probably pays well.  If he has kids no change in schools.  Good for him.  I don't have a fond dislike for UCLA the way I do for USC and ASU.  At my age I don't even hate those schools the way I used to hate them. 

I'm guessing he would be interested in Arizona if the timing were right and we had a need.  But, as it stands the community, boosters and seemingly most fans don't want Sean Miller going any where.   Mr. Walton needs to look out for his own best interest and should he be fired this is a great opportunity for him. 

It's asking a lot of him to not take the UCLA position due to his UA loyalty and history when Arizona isn't loyal enough to fire the existing coach to hire Luke.

As man I say he should do what is best for him and his family. As a Wildcat I don't know if I could ever look at him the same.
Say it ain't so Joe.

You guys are looking at this all wrong. Of course we all love Luke and he loves the UA but he hasn't actually done any good coaching yet. He stepped in for Kerr when he was injured and kept a team winning that was one of the best in NBA history. Then he went to the Lakers and he honestly he hasn't been that great. Let UCLA hire him. Let's see how good he is at coaching, let's see how good he is at recruiting at the college level. We all think he'll be great but we don't know this. Let's let him learn at UCLA then if the time comes we need a new coach and he's doing a good job there we take him and say FUCLA!

I want him for everything but his coaching ability. It's his youth and the people who coached him up that make me want him. He would instantly be more marketable than miller, more clout than miller. With an alumna, we wouldn't sweat everytime a big d1 job opens up. Lukes mentors are literally the best coaches in history at the pro and college level.
