Daily Bruin Ad Placed
We have placed our ad in the Daily Bruin. There will be 5 ads total scattered over the next couple of weeks. We will have more details later … but the first ad is scheduled to be placed on Monday, a full 1/2 page ad in the sports section. Here is the copy, after much tweaking and suggestions by many here and by email and on BruinsNation.
"UCLA is officially the worst-coached (football) team in America."
Open letter to Dan Guerrero and Chancellor Gene Block:
It is time to end our football program's commitment to mediocrity. Over the last 2 decades UCLA football fans have had very few seasons to be proud of. Karl Dorrell's tenure epitomizes mediocrity with a 56.7 winning percentage in his 5 years, 6th best overall record in the Pac-10, 4th best conference record in the Pac-10 - peaking at 3rd place only once, and on and on.
Bruin fans and football experts everywhere are asking: How committed is UCLA to succeeding in college football?
Our national reputation is sullied and attendance and revenues will most certainly decline next year and beyond. Our own experience at UCLA provides solutions. Our successes in football and basketball show us that hiring inexperienced coaches most often fails us, while hiring tested and proven leaders is the key to our success.
We urge you to make the right choice for our football program and athletic department: Replace Karl Dorrell with a proven, winning, experienced head coach.

Dana @ 12:21 pm:
So, is the ad coming out this coming Monday? Cause that sounds like a bad idea when UCLA has a bye and isn’t playing this weekend.
The ad would be more effective when it comes out on the Monday after a loss and you’ve people angry and frustrated with the loss.
DumpDorrell @ 1:34 pm:
We have 5 ad placements … and we want to set the tone this week that regardless of the outcome of the next games Dorrell should be dumped. The first ad is a half-pager on Monday. We will have ads after Oregon and after SuC. We dont want to say exactly when so that there are no Save Dorrell ads. We will say the day before.
