UCLA has fired Steve Alford as head coach.

After an 80-66 loss to Ohio State earlier this month, Alford said he had "no issue" with the constant discussions surrounding his job and that "I'm a man of God, so I've got an audience of one."

"You know, obviously with its fans, whether it be at UCLA or anywhere else, you always have those opinions," he told reporters.

Fred Hoiberg, Jamie Dixon and Earl Watson are likely candidates for the job.
