On the women's side, Brosnan brought in a really, really good set of recruits primarily via transfer and they left in droves, as did the 3:55 guy he developed (now at Washington).

Which got him fired because he did it improperly. Also developed that 3:55 miler into a season ending injury. He turned the program into a dumpster fire that the new coach is doing a very good job cleaning up and moving in the right direction within the rules.

It’s always the Insecure coaches that have to bring up old issues. Brosnan did a great job at UCLA and the new coaches need to move on. I will admit the staff had their work cut out for them when none of the top transfers ended up coming to UCLA when Brosnan was not brought back. But what do you expect. UCLA failed the student athletes. It’s been happening for years at UCLA way before Brosnan. He didn’t get fired for any illegal recruiting. Thats all public knowledge in the NCAA when any violation accrues and Brosnan did not have any, not one. That is literally just Vin Lananna crying that his best runner left. It’s just false rumors. The UCLA athletes transferring out , not transferring in and not coming back shows you they liked Brosnan and he did a good job. Again it’s time the current UCLA coaches or friends of them move on and coach. Posting about a PR on the message board is an immature way to boost your ego. This thread was from 3 weeks ago and brought back to brag about average performances

I think you're the one that needs to move on. The current coaching staff sure has and are doing a great job.
Blaming another coach for Brosnan's firing is comical. How do you know the details of what went on? Are you hearing the story from the always reliable source himself? I think the false rumors are that Brosnan did nothing wrong. The evidence is, his employer fired him.
Move on. The new coaches are killing it and will have this program to level UCLA deserves shortly.

I’m actually a Bruin for life. Graduated in 2002 and now live in Phoenix area. It saddens me when I see this replay. You keep bringing up Brosnan and he was liked by most alums and we were upset when the department made the decision to not bring him back. He was showing good promise and athletes running well. I’m still very connected and a few alums reached out to Avery Anderson to find out what happened and what I said was true. No violations for Brosnan. It’s all just rumors coming from coaches who lost their athletes. Welcome to coaches in the NCAA. It’s drama and you should stay out of it. We wish the new coaches well, but I find it immature to post this nonsense about the team or yourself in this state.
Ferris got fired from Wake for abuse and lying to the head coaches. Posting about a subpar distance crew is a bad look.
Ferris knows exactly what I’m talking about. Just ask the Wake coaches
UCLA’s coaching pay scale to live in Los Angeles is really bad. no one of stature wanted the job. Especially when they had a mass exodus of athletes with Brosnan departure.
Also the fact is that Avery Anderson won’t be renewed and the entire staff will be gone this summer.
We will be having this same conversation in July 2024.
It will be interesting to see who UCLA hires if Avery Anderson doesn’t get resigned. This means an entire new staff. I have also been hearing UCLA is dropping cross country next fall. I have no clue if that’s true , just what I’m hearing.
Avery ain’t getting fired because administration knows that’s the best they can do with what they pay. They don’t care. Forget UCLA of the past. USC is the king and it shows…sad but true

So, in summary, he was well liked, was doing really well and did nothing wrong. Yet he was fired. I’m sure you know the whole story.
