there was a story about UCLA wanting to interview him in the early 00s and Snyd's faxed them a huge list of requirements for the program (dozens of pages or something) and that was the end of that
I was thinking it was mid to late 90's
just looked at UCLA's wiki
Donahue retired at the end of the 1995 season and they promoted Bob Toledo - it is possible they might of looked then
Toledo was fired at the end of the 2002 season and they hired Karl Dorrell - only Bill's age(
) would of been a negative at that time
I think the story came out in the late 90's but actually happened at the end of 1995-it's amazing how stuff didn't get out before the interwebs/bbs/twitter/ect
