What Next??

This was totally unexpected … seriously … even by us at DD.  Not even in our most dark thoughts did we ever once think that we would lose to the Utes, forget getting blown out.  We are stunned.  We feel bad for our players … our seniors.  But the silver lining is that Dorrell has one foot out the door and this tortured era is closer to coming to an end.  What or who could Dorrell possibly say is to blame now??  OC Training Jay, the guy "who speaks (Dorrell's) language," didn't call a good game??  Best DC in the nation DeWayne Walker, the guy whom Dorrell used to prove he "brought back the tradition of UCLA Football," didn't have the defense prepared?  The 5-star QB recruit didn't execute??  Hot new 0 experience ex-convict WR coach Eric Scott didn't have the right receiver rotations??  The new season starts tomorrow??? 

We can't wait to hear how Dorrell spins this historic loss.  It has been over 40 years since UCLA has lost an OOC away game by 38 or more points … when we lost to Syracuse on the road 38-0 in 1964!  Bill Barnes was fired after that season.  Dorrell already holds the WORST starting 3- and 4-year record for any UCLA football coach since WW2, and 2nd worst in our entire history.  How does Dorrell continue to get a pass in an era of $1 million per year coaching contracts is beyond comprehension. Dan Guerrero will have to have an answer soon enough. 

So what next??  We thought we'd come on tonight all fire and brimstone … but we are spent. This epic loss has surprised us and taken out any hope we had remaining.  So we will try to have a short term game plan tomorrow. There are many "whos the next coach" threads out there and we will point to them tomorrow as well.  The long term game plan, the campaign, is ready as we said … we will have to wait for the 1st Pac-10 loss to implement it. In the meantime, send in your suggestions or comments via comments on any post or via our contact page … you know where they are. Sign up for our emails or RSS feeds so that when we start the campaign we have planned everyone can make it work.  Much more later …
