Ravens' Neuheisel Mum on UCLA Job
posted 6:01 am Mon December 24, 2007 - Seattle
Former University of Washington football coach Rick Neuheisel - who left in a scandal over betting on college basketball games - was back in Seattle Sunday as offensive coordinator for Baltimore when the Ravens played the Seattle Seahawks.
Neuheisel wouldn't comment on speculation that he could become the new head football coach at UCLA, his alma mater.
He went 33-16 in four years as Washington's coach, including four bowl trips and a Rose Bowl title.
He said Sunday he has fond memories of Seattle, despite the messy ending in 2003 when Washington fired him for participating in a betting pool on the NCAA basketball tournament. He sued for wrongful termination from Washington and settled in March 2005 with UW and the NCAA for $4.5 million.
