Thanks all. I've decided to go back to a BJJ or similar facility. Here and there won't work for me and I just want to be able to take classes/lessons when I want to regularly.
If you're really looking for a coach you need to go find a school. Sometimes it's a best case scenario kind of thing, like there are no schools nearby (Not a problem in SoCal), or you can't afford any of them (definitely a possibility in SoCal). In that case, someone with some experience, like Callisto, who's willing to train regularly is great.
But (and no disrespect, Callisto... I've no idea what belt you are or how long you've trained), there aren't that many very high level guys on this site. You'll be able to learn the basics and then run into a plateau in a few months to a year (or however long it takes to hit the end of their knowledge and experience).
Find a coach who has successfully turned coaching jiujitsu into their livelihood, and you can be reasonably sure of a good long-term development of your game.
If you can find a high-level guy who just wants to meet up and train, that's freaking awesome. Take full advantage of that Mr. Miagi shit, Daniel-san. :-)

There's also the San Diego Wrestling Club that meets at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center though it is open to all.
