It’s Official: HS Coach Eric Scott New WR Coach
No Experience Necessary. Has quite a nice ring to it. Should be the title to Dorrell’s biography. He is making the hiring of inexperienced coaches to top positions on the staff of a marquee football program part of his legacy. It started with his own hiring and now continues with the latest addition - Eric Scott our new WR coach, as reported by Brian Dohn. Eric was an INTERN last year with our football team and a high school ASSISTANT coach. Nice jump Eric … must have worn a nice suit to the interview. The Morgan Center PR will more than likely state that Eric is a “great recruiter” and an “up-and-coming young coach” and a “great fit,” or some such bs.
We remember the same things said a year ago about his predecessor DJ McCarthy, who failed to recruit any WRs of note, following in the footsteps of his boss Dorrell, and failed to make our WR crew effective throughout the season. 1 year and DJ was gone, leaving Dorrell in the all too familiar position of finding his replacement among the inexpereinced masses and Morgan Center in the all too familiar position of having to write yet another fluff PR about how great the next no-name hire of Dorrell’s was going to be for the program. We will post that PR for your amusement once it’s released. Nice job Karl!!

you have got to be kidding, this is a joke isn’t it?
mike morgan @ 2:34 pm:
well it makes sense know pay him alot less money say 70-80k and use the rest to pay the other assistants at the sacrifice of winning!

Look, they are budget conscious, since a football program that doesn’t win big makes less $$ so it is necessary to offer to assistants who already have housing (I’ll bet that was a big plus for ES) if they can, and keep expenses down.
Now on the other hand, if the administration decided to have a really good program and invest to do that, then there would be a different HC and different assistants. The recruiting would improve and the performance on the field would improve as well. The budget would be larger with more revenue, and the profits available to spread around the other non-revenue sports. See, simple…. :>)

A friend writes from Eugene in the heart of Duckland:
“Why aren’t the season-ticket holders doing something about it? Up here, they get upset with the AD, find $2 mil to buy him out!”
I don’t have a response to that.

I have a new theory about Coach Dorrell. I think he’s worse than incompetent. I think he’s so stupid he doesn’t realize that he’s incompetent, and he thinks that if he uses some cliches, no one will notice he hired a high school coach to tutor positions players who were terminally under-productive last year.
No one who had the full array of neurons firing would think he could get away with this. But Coach Dorrell not only thinks so, he’s actually doing it. Apparently, there is only one person more dense on campus - Dan Guerrero.
Frankly, I’m getting tired of the constant use of cliches to explain their blundering. It’s insulting. You NEVER hear that kind of drivel emanating from the current head basketball coach.

Now, now. KD is doing his best and remembering all the birthdays in the athletic department as well. What else can the HC to do in the off season?
This makes one wonder what BH thinks of all the gyrations in the football program. Most other sports have competent HC’s at UCLA except the big revenue producing potential. Folly!!!
