Bellotti to stay at Oregon

Mike Bellotti announced this afternoon that he has turned down UCLA and will be staying at Oregon.

You're always flattered when others want to talk to you, but that's because of the success we've enjoyed based on our players, our support staff and our administration," Bellotti said in a statement posted on the university Web site. "I have been, and continue to be, 100 percent committed to the University of Oregon and our pursuit of a national championship."

With Colorado's Hawkins, and Oregon's Bellotti turning the job down it looks more, and more like Rick Neuheisel will be the next coach at UCLA.
