Editor's note: we are going to keep this post at the top. Send it or this post to friends (email link at end of posts), post it on myspace, facebook, your website, especially the list below. Get the word out to Morgan Center, Murphy Hall, the media. The Coach-In-Training experiment is officially a failure. Now we look to Dan Guerrero to do his job again.

I felt a change in leadership was necessary. We want to have a national caliber program here, certainly top 25 every year. We need to raise the bar, we need to start winning Pac-10 championships again.

These are the reasons Dan Guerrero fired Bob Toledo BEFORE the 2003 season was over. It was also after a Washington State loss at the Rose Bowl.

Our goal is to win Pac-10 championships and compete in BCS bowl games.

These words are from Dan Guerrero when he hired Karl Dorrell. Dan Guerrero needs to back up his words with action!! He needs to have some consistency in the standards he applies. He needs to do what he did with Bob Toledo, who had a BETTER winning percentage than Karl Dorrell has. Dan Guerrero needs to Fire Karl Dorrell! Sooner rather than later because you can't hire a football coach in May. Here are the reasons to Dump Dorrell (updated). Reasons To Dump Dorrell (updated as of 12/27/06)

1. 1-3 against Southern Cal.
2. No Pac-10 championships.
3. No BCS bowl games.
4. 1-10 on the road against teams with a winning record.
5. Worst starting 3- AND 4- year record of any UCLA football coach since WW2, including Bob Toledo who was fired.
6. Worse winning percentage than Bob Toledo, who was fired.
7. 3-11 against ranked teams.
8. 2-7 against top 10 teams.
9. Only 6 conference wins against teams who finished over .500.
10. 19-14 against Pac-10 teams.
11. 8-17 against teams with a winning record.
12. 10 losses to unranked teams.
13. He has a losing record after October, 6-12.
14. Embarrassing losses to Wyoming, Fresno State, Arizona, Southern Cal.
15. Revolving door for assistant coaches.
16. 80% of Bruins fans polled on Bruinsnation.com disapprove of the job KD is doing.

“Seven games into the season and, instead of smoothing over problems, UCLA seems to be adding to the laundry list of predicaments that has prevented it from becoming more explosive on offense.” Robert Kuwada, OC Register

“Everyone’s mind-set was first down, first down, first down,” senior center Robert Chai said. “We ran the exact same play two times in a row just from different directions and didn’t get it done.”

“You think about it, because if you get a first down, the game is over,” offensive coordinator Jim Svoboda said. “You figure if you get a good punt and they go the length of the field, the odds are with you.”

“Our defense could not hold them with a minute and two left with no timeouts … They know that they had to win on their grass and (they) didn’t finish.” Karl Dorrell press conference after the game

Head coach Karl Dorrell throws the blame on his players again. The announcers, the press, and his own players are questioning the play-calling and game management every game since Utah in this disappointing season. After now 6 consecutive games where they have limited to no success on the field with what they are doing, Karl Dorrell and Jim Svoboda continue to play to not lose.

“The odds” Jim??!! How bout getting some stones and TAKING the win from the Irish?! You are not an assistant anymore Karl, you are not in Div 1AA anymore Jim. Football, like life, is not simply numbers and odds. You have got to give your players the chance to win, on the field and in life, by giving them the chance to perform, to excel, to fight for what is right in front of them and not wait for it to be handed to them by “the odds.” In spite of more horrible play-calling and game management, the players played to win and deserved that final opportunity to earn the victory.

Karl and Jim you let down your team, your program, and the UCLA community. We deserve better, the team deserves better. Everyone should know by now that we are getting what we are paying for. It’s time to let Dan Guerrero, Morgan Center, and the administration know that we want change. Get the word out!

It’s time to start getting the word out to the media, to Morgan Center and to Murphy Hall that we have had enough (all contact information is listed below)! Tell them that you disapprove of the job Karl Dorrell is doing and that it’s time for a new coach. Tell your friends to do the same by using the email link under this post. Here are some reasons to Dump Dorrell that you can put in your messages, but we are sure you have some of your own.

1. 1-3 against Southern Cal.

You can also mention that we are cheap when it comes to paying our coaches, #44 in the nation not including big time powerhouse private schools like Notre Dame, Southern Cal, Miami. And Cal pays nearly double what we pay! We are getting what we pay for, and we are tired of it. Karl Dorrell is a great guy, but bad coach for our program. Tell Dan Guerero to Fire Karl Dorrell.
