Here is a look at some national publications predictions on who will possibly become UCLA's next head footbal coach.
This is the list of possible candidates from CBSSports and Shehan Jeyarajah.
First on their list is USC defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn, who was the defensive coordinator at UCLA for the 2023 season.
The second candidate listed is Oregon defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi, who is a popular choice among some UCLA fans.
Third on their list is Boise State head coach Spencer Danielson, which is the most surprising candidate on their list.
The fourth candidate on their list is New Mexico coach Jason Eck, which makes some sense as his coaching against UCLA was impressive.
The biggest reach on the CBS Sports list is Michigan State’s head coach Jonathan Smith because he is only in his second year in East Lansing and is in a good situation.
The list by the NYTimes/The Athletic list is similar but different than the CBSSports list written by Bruce Feldman.
They have USC defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn as the frontrunner for various reasons
The second candidate they mentioned and wrote about is Baylor head coach Dave Aranda.
They also mention the possibility of BYU’s head coach Kalani Sitake, becoming the next UCLA coach.
The fourth candidate listed is also on CBSSports list is Oregon defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi.
The fifth, and in our opinion, the most likely candidate to be UCLA’s next coach is Florida State’s DC Tony White.
The sixth candidate comes from the NFL in Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Tommy Rees.
The last candidate on their list is New Mexico coach Jason Eck.
