Dorrell’s Record As UCLA Football Coach

It all is so right … the Dorrell era coming to an end. We will be playing in the Las Vegas bowl … the same bowl we got an invitation to the year Bob Toledo was fired. The symmetry is nice.  There hasn't been this much excitement in UCLA football since 1998.  People are excited about the replacements for Dorrell, vote here, and potentially heralding a new era of excellence.  The money is also there to make it happen!

We will not know today about Dorrell's fate officially apparently, although we are getting conflicting reports on that score.   Dan Guerrero does have plans to meet with Dorrell this morning, according to Robert Kuwada OCR. What happens next is anyone's guess, but a couple of sources have Guerrero waiting until after the Wednesday night season banquet.  Waiting really doesn't make sense to us but those are the reports. There is no doubt however that Dorrell is gone. 

We thought we'd offer The List of Dorrell's record as UCLA head coach, updated, just in case there are some wackos out there who still think UCLA football is where it needs to be with Dorrell at the helm (HT to Fox71 at BruinsNation, also a Bruin Ad contributor).

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.

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.

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.
