Posted On USAToday: Dorrell #1 - Coaches That Must Win This Year

The word continues to get out … now on USA Today’s website.  In The Bleachers, a college football blog, came up with their list of the 5 coaches that must win this year. #1 on their list … Karl Dorrell.   Now, what makes this list cool is that USA Today picked it up and is printing it on their site.  Check it out (HT to bluestreet at BruinsNation):

Every year we come into the season wondering which coaches will not be around for the following season. A few lucky coaches get that big win against their rival at the end of the year to save their job for the next. Looking ahead, these are the 5 coaches that I think need to win now or they will not be around coaching their respective teams come 2008.

1. Karl Dorrell (UCLA) - Last year 7-6; UCLA Career Record 29-21. The Bruins’ fans in Westwood have grown weary of year after year of mediocrity under Dorrell. I really believe that the win against USC last year saved his job, and allowed him to have a one-year reprieve. This season all the cards are in place as he has all of his recruits and 21 returning starters. The Bruins should be able to win their first four games, but the next three against Oregon State, Notre Dame, and Cal should set the tone for the rest of the season. For Dorrell to keep his job I think he needs to finish in at least the top 3 of the Pac-10 and get 9 to 10 wins. But to get a real feel how Bruins fans feel about Karl Dorrell head over to Bruins Nation .

“Weary of year after year of mediocrity” … True dat!! Word is getting out people!!!
