Is there really any chance he'll be canned?

I pray for it but I just don't think the AD has the guts to admit his stupid mistake. There are too many alums and supporters that are satisfied with mediocrity for the AD to really feel any heat about his poor decision to hire Dorrell.

Players F'd it up too...

Yes, Dorrell is a mediocre coach at best... but the players were on the field and should have stepped it up regardless of whatever direction was given by their coaching staff. They should not have given a F#$%K and done whatever it took to win the game.

Our defense did only 99% of their job... Our offense did only 99% of what they had to do as well. That missing 1% of effort is what cost us the game. That 1% is the difference between an good team and an outstanding team.

"Moral Victories" are for F#$%@ING LOSERS. If you are not going to play to win, then why play at all?

Dorrell is going to stick around regardless of what we say because the standards of UCLA (when it comes to football) are low... UCLA is complacent with a mediocre football program and that is truly PATHETIC.

That's BS

Don't give me that blame the players BS. The defense definitely got it done, and the offense did enough to give us the win but for what the coaches gave them in the last few minutes.

And, what do you expect, the players to do "whatever it took" by disregarding the coaches and running other plays. That's lame.

Your last paragraph is a silly circular argument.

I'll just assume that you're as angry as I am, so I'll forgive what I'd otherwise consider a silly post.

That's right

I'm not going to blame the players either. The defense played its usual collective ass off, but played a prevent for the last three plays, as was Coach Walker's orders. The offense played well, but once again was too conservative when it counted - but that's when you get when KD hires a guy whose claim to fame is serving as offensive coordinator at Northwest Missouri State for 10 years. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of KD. If you're going to take the credit when the team wins (like last year), you have to take the blame when they lose. I only wish Karl would act like he gave a crap. If he had half the fire of his team - or half the brains of his defensive coordinator - we'd have surely won. But I do agree that mediocrity is in order as long as KD is our coach. I pray for his firing.
