Coach, 4th and 3, we don't convert here, game over, we lose, what's the play-call? (Coach Foster) I'm just basically excited, really, that's it, any questions.
@gains5732 I'm a hard-core conservative. I know DeShawn well. The man is a football legend and has been coaching for years. I agree that lots of DEi bs has been going on. But he deserves this shot on Merit! I hope it works out for him. Football has been his entire life. Give him two years! After that he is fair game! The guy is old school! Hard hitting mentality.
How remarkable the fact that we might've just seen the worst ever national anthem performance and worst ever intro statement to a press conference in literally the span of one week?
Because coach got nervous and had a bad press conference? Look they are going to get destroyed, this press conference has nothing to do with it though.
On the contrary, I think more Big10 fans have watched more Pac12 games vs PAC12 fans watching Big10 games, since they’re always on after all of the other games have ended
The BIG10 is going to embarrass UCLA. USC Oregon & Washington should be competitive, but UCLA appears they gonna have a very long painful season. Wouldn’t surprise me if they fire this coach by the end of 2025 season.
@@dalauder , Karl got fired because he was a horrible coach, how is it working out in The NBA, TY lue,Doc, Monty, Ham, only get hired bc they are Black, they are horrible coaches,,,,DEI is everywhere,,dont play yourself
@@vtec2008Yeah stage fright is a unique entity. There are people that are as brave as can be in any other circumstance that freeze up public speaking. This isn’t an Adam Gase situation where he looks like he’s high haha. If he starts making some bad in-game calls, that’s a diff story
If I didn’t know who he was as a NFL player, I’ll be like who the hell is this guy? 😂😂😂 but he was nice with the Carolina Panthers so I would still follow him.
He was a running back! Cobwebs and Nervousness! It’s about W’s and L’s. If he beats SC and has a productive season nobody will remember this press conference!!! UCLA FIGHT!
Wow. Not everyone is a good public speaker but omg. You don’t even have to say much in the opening statement. How did he even get past the interviews? Whats his halftime talk gonna look like ?! Players are not going to have respect for him if he can’t get his message across clearly. Was this a DEI hire ?
I’ve seen interviews and he seems like a shy person, possibly an introvert. I’m sure it was a very nerve wracking situation for him. Cut the man some slack.
Unprepared just like the football scores will soon show. He wont last 2 full years. Nothing against the guy and not rooting against him. But you heard it here first. Wont last 2 full years.
I was hoping he could coach better than he gives speeches but he’s terrible at both, blown out by another basketball school Indiana, coached by Bobby Knight?
I’m glad he did this presser. I always wondered what city UCLA played in. It all makes sense now.
It makes since now 😂
I think he tripped himself up when he realized USC was in LA too but then realized he shouldn’t mention USC.
Oh man, this is painful
As someone with performance anxiety when it comes to public speaking, this hit close to home.
Give this homeboy a speech writer
Dude can't even read, a speechwriter isn't gonna help.
When you get called on to present but you forgot to prepare.
Coach, 4th and 3, we don't convert here, game over, we lose, what's the play-call? (Coach Foster) I'm just basically excited, really, that's it, any questions.
😂😂
Umm… we’re in LA………… it’s us and USC…….
😂😂😂
Is this one of those "Wanna Get Away" commercials or a Snickers commercial? 😂
Palms are sweaty , knees weak arms are heavy
Vomit on his sweater already
Not as awkward as uCla football has been since 2000.
Lifelong UCLA fan here (56 years), this is the best our AD could do?...Good lord
Deer in the headlights
He is a coach not a speech writer. He did great when they asked him questions about football!
For any pubic speaker or for those of us who have to do presentations, this does happen. It's awkward as hell but it happens to the best of us.
Oh, is that what the "LA" stands for!!!! I was wondering what it meant.
Louisiana?
It may be cringe, but the outline he had written on his hand said:
1. UCLA is in LA
2. So is USC
3. I'm excited
I didn’t know they were in LA 🤔
Lol!!!!.😂
Wonder how many UCLA donors are calling the athletic director immediately following this 😂
Because a first year head coach had an awkward moment? There wouldn't be any football coaches, if that were the response.
I don't think any donors for UCLA care about football, do they??
We just wanted a DEI hire here in LA. We did not care who it was.
@@gains5732 More likely is they didn't want to pay a high profile coach because of buyout they have to pay to UC system for leaving pac

Not to mention the worst “I’m dropping out of the presidential race to save muh democracy”
And this is why prepared statements can sometimes work. I hope he inspires his team more...
UCLA is the perfect example of DEI. This is what our government will be in a few months. Even more than right now.
Oh shut up he was a star football player and he played on UCLA and was hired to be a coach in the NFL he has experience
Exactly why UCLA will get curb stomped in the BigTen
Because coach got nervous and had a bad press conference? Look they are going to get destroyed, this press conference has nothing to do with it though.
You don't watch enough West Coast football. We'll see...
@@chrislytle7351players don’t respect coaches that can’t get their message across clearly. Imagine his halftime talk
@@chrislytle7351Nope. It's a glimpse into his ability to respond under pressure and communicate effectively. Neither of which he can do.
On the contrary, I think more Big10 fans have watched more Pac12 games vs PAC12 fans watching Big10 games, since they’re always on after all of the other games have ended
That blazer is 🔥
This is crazy tough to watch.
Ouch.
I’ve seen interviews and he seems like a shy person, possibly an introvert. I’m sure this was terrifying for him in the moment. Cut him some slack.
And why should a shy person be head coach of a big time football program?
Give him some sla ck I don't know much about technology and I'm going to Microsoft to lead the company just saying 😅
@@Oooooo-xi2mxask UCLA president
WE ARE IN LA US AND USC
You guys the Nathaniel Hackett of college great job lol
Did they surprise him and not tell him that he had to do an interview?
It's almost like he had a anxiety attack or something.
Tough to watch! Seems too shy to be a coach
about unqualified...DEI hire..
Better off keeping Chip around...
This guy makes Franklin look like Einstein.
I can relate to this
He went to the AJ Clemente school of broadcasting
I feel bad
But, they apparently met DEI requirements so…
The distillation of the hallowed term "student athlete."
This guy could run for president one day! 😂😂😂
Were in LA
Blink 3 times if you're here against your will
Glad he gave a shout out to SC. Like every good UCLA coach should do. Because without SC who is UCLA?
Super funny. I can't stop laughing....
What a total embarrassment to UCLA
Chill first year hc remember
Wtf, this guy makes how much per year, duh
Perfect!
Came here from McAfee, this was hilarious.😂

Very nervous in front of a lot of strangers, let’s see what he does with our team on the field, that’s what really matters. Am I wrong?
stop making excuses,,,,DEI hire, plain and simple..
@@0007tadSo you haven't heard of Karl Dorrell? There's no issue with diversity in West Coast coaching hires.
@@dalauder , Karl got fired because he was a horrible coach, how is it working out in The NBA, TY lue,Doc, Monty, Ham, only get hired bc they are Black, they are horrible coaches,,,,DEI is everywhere,,dont play yourself
Not wrong at all. This is blown way out of proportion. Simply put its nerves and maybe a tad of unpreparedness. They’ll grasp at anything these days.
@@vtec2008Yeah stage fright is a unique entity. There are people that are as brave as can be in any other circumstance that freeze up public speaking. This isn’t an Adam Gase situation where he looks like he’s high haha. If he starts making some bad in-game calls, that’s a diff story
This is great
Should have at least had a written statement
Dude said 123 ships😂😂
What's odd about reminding people that UCLA knows about championships?
@@dalauder cause theyre probably in fake sports like water polo
"...our mascot is the Bruins..."
Sec coaches are ahead by light years
If he takes coaching as lightly as he did this, he'll be gone in 2 years.
Who cares! So, he's not a public speaker. I'm not a UCLA fan but give the dude a break before he's coached even one game.
If I didn’t know who he was as a NFL player, I’ll be like who the hell is this guy? 😂😂😂 but he was nice with the Carolina Panthers so I would still follow him.
Brutal... two possible explanations CTE or DEI
Big 10 goes after impressive coaches.
He was a running back! Cobwebs and Nervousness! It’s about W’s and L’s. If he beats SC and has a productive season nobody will remember this press conference!!! UCLA FIGHT!
Maybe there really isn't much to say. Do the talking on the field and win some games.
It’s ok 🙏🏽
Love Foster he is a old school with a hard hitting
Mentality! He will bring toughness to a soft program.
Welp. Any UCLA fan playing NCAA25 could outdo that speech. Probably outcoach. "Hit X, hit X!!! R2!! R2!!!" 90 yards to the house. Easy.
Deshaun & his bruins will be just fine!
In fairness, people in LA don’t even know UCLA is in LA
Welllllll….. it’s in Pasadena!!!
To be fair, I don’t think anyone from LA saw this press conference… other than the Lakers, they hate sports
Won’t last the whole year. AD must be high
I don’t understand the controversy. What did people want him to say? This isn’t his introductory news conference when he’s first hired.
We all have bad days lol
Wow. Not everyone is a good public speaker but omg. You don’t even have to say much in the opening statement. How did he even get past the interviews? Whats his halftime talk gonna look like ?! Players are not going to have respect for him if he can’t get his message across clearly. Was this a DEI hire ?
He was afraid ... can understand being nervous. He will be fine.
brutal
Oh boy…Nebraska going to kick their
a$$e$!!
I’m glad to see that Biden’s speech writer isn’t out of a job
I’ve seen interviews and he seems like a shy person, possibly an introvert. I’m sure it was a very nerve wracking situation for him. Cut the man some slack.
stop,,, DEI hire, plain and simple.. another coach that was given the job only bc of his race..
Joe Biden definitely trained him on how to speak in public!!💀🇺🇸
Unprepared just like the football scores will soon show. He wont last 2 full years.
Nothing against the guy and not rooting against him. But you heard it here first. Wont last 2 full years.
He must be using Kamala Harris's speech writer, "What can be unburdened by what has been".
At least he didn't ask people to drink bleach and put "light inside the body " 😂😢😅😮
Too many hits to the head
I was hoping he could coach better than he gives speeches but he’s terrible at both, blown out by another basketball school Indiana, coached by Bobby Knight?
😮😮😮
Sounded like Kamala Harris without the wig
ucla is in LA...who knew? This was cringe comedy at its finest
I feel bad for him not only for this but also because he might be coaching the worst UCLA team ever they might actually go 0-12
UCLA can beat Hawaii,Indiana, Minnesota & Fresno state lol might even get a win Vs Rutgers…
He could replace Joe Biden and fit right in
0-12
Well good luck UCLA.
WTF
Its ok , not everybody is a public speaker..just beat usc.. Go 🦆's
Or USC beat Oregon, Fight On !
and NOT everyone is a DEI hire...
@@0007tad you're posting dei all over the place. Did a black guy steal your chubby chick? 😅
This is what happens when you Didn’t Earn It hire
he was on the staff for 7 years. acting like this is a DEI hire is ignorant. all that matters is the product he can put onto the field
@@Davo2times an RB coach. LOLs. Spotted the other Didn’t Earn It hire !!
But he looks like a good coach, so we good.
DEI hire = Didn't Earn It Hire
This is literally if Gronk was a coach that he gave a speech.
I give him one year, bro why would you give this man money 😂😂😂
A solid example of a DEI hire
My 7 year old would’ve had a better speech. My god. I’m embarrassed for him
DEI hire 😂
The Kamala Harris of the Big Ten!
DEI hire, good luck
Appears to be yet another great DEI hire. When are we going to get to the point of hiring people on merit instead of social narrative again ?
DEI
Exactly what I said
DEI at UCLA LOL! 3-8 season on the way.
Ouch
