You're a complete idiot. You had years of experience re:what to expect up in the Palouse and you didn't have the offense ready.  Norvell is a complete dolt.  And both of you acted like you had no idea that injuries are common in CFB.  Didja tell the offense to take the rest of the afternooon off after Bell's big TD run?  Sure felt like it.   And Christ in a sidecar what the hell is wrong with this limpd*ck offense that pathologically looks for the 3 yard pass play when its 3d and 8?  Somebody is teaching that.  Hint, twin morons of different Mothers,  it doesn't work.  It hasn't worked in your miserably forgettable nearly five year senten- I mean tenure.  I don't care what happens to Norvell - maybe a rescue mission at Sea-Tac when you stop for fuel or whatever. But do the rest of us a favor Mr. I'm underpaid, and stay in Pullman.  Maybe you could be the understudy for "Butch the Cougar?"

I'm glad I left football behind this season after the Utah game.  You all have my sympathy.

seriously, I dont even know how to explain that game ...

to everything considered holy accross all denominations that this is KD's last year.  

   

If they were playing a competent team they would've given up 40.

I wish I wish this was the last game of the season.

Recruit some O linemen who can run and pass block.  Your predecessor screwed you, so you need to get going as soon as you sign the contract.  And make sure you recruit some depth as well.  Your predecessor screwed you there as well.

Why do you allow yourselves to remain in an abusive relationship with this Dorrell-led program?  I saw that he was no good and stopped caring about UCLA football two years ago.  

When someone deserving of my love and support arrives to lead the program, I will happily return to cheer them on.  

Until then, please take care of yourselves, you all deserve better than this.  

Best regards,

Concerned Former UCLA Football Fan

was on plane, so didn't see game. Lets hope DG has the balls to pull the trigger tomorrow. No point in sticking with KD even for the remainder of season.

I'm old enough to remember when, back in the 70's we'd normally whip up on all four of the Northwest schools.  Granted, things have changed since then but this, this abomination is just so totally unacceptable.

DG, in case you are listening, there's something I'd like to say to you.

This is UCLA.

Losses to programs such as Utah, Washington State, and a downtrodden Notre Dame team by a combined 72 - that's right - 72 points (thanks godblesstyus95) is simply NOT acceptable.

Shouldn't we be in the Top 10 or Top 15 on a consistent basis?  Hopefully, preferrably in the Top 5 every 2-3 years?  Well, we SHOULD but it's not happening with CTS at the helm.  When is enough actually enough?

If tonight's latest example isn't enough to convince you than what is?

 

I mean "then".  Too much beer already to drown my sorrows.

my favorite part...all the defensive players who pretty much stood and watched the final touchdown of the game...nice effort losers. blame the coaches, i agree...blame guerrero, I agree...but for scholarship players to repeatedly let a jellyfish of a coach act as an excuse for them playing like they're on qualudes...give me a break. those boys don't want to play...get over the coaching thing and get out there and act like you want to win for more than a few minutes a month.  disgusting.

The real score of the game was 20-0.

We don't have a competent quarterback.  Simple.

He's gone now, right.  I mean, please, tell me that I can come back and enjoy UCLA Football again, and have hope and pleasure and joy watching my beloved Bruins.  Right?  He can't possibly keep his job.  Could he?

(tear)

Could he?

so what!  we got one touchdown off of WASU, opening drive, and couldn't score again.

Someone has to take a dookie in a plastic bag and tie it to dorrell's car with WASU ribbons

I read that the WSU commentator noted that he was surprised when Markey dropped a pass he showed no anger...Does this tell you something about the type of player he is????if true????

I thought it was interesting that during the halftime interview, Dorrell's voice was hoarse, as if he's been yelling the entire time. Now, either he has the most delicate vocal chords in all of college football, or he fakes the voice.

I'm in the bay area so my cable switched to the Cal/ASU game before our game ended. How was his voice in the post-game interview?

Can the offense only have 1 good drive the entire game?  Jesus, if we dont get a pick we dont score.... ridiculous

Fire the fool!

A lot of kids had bad games tonight.  There were bad passes, dropped passes, missed blocks, missed reads, missed tackles . . . if you could miss it, they missed it.  

But this is not on the kids.  If a whole team comes out and lays an egg like that, that's on the coach.  And if your whole team comes out and lays an egg like that for the THIRD TIME THIS YEAR, and your coach still has a job, that's on your AD . . .

thanks dorrell you finally killed your ucla coaching career, we can all whole heartedly root for our team again! not even another miracle(december 1st)can save you now.jackass.

he couldn't motivate a horny teenager to get a hard-on in a whorehouse.  He's a piece of shit who needs his ass fired NOW.

Alright Karl, here's a challenge for you. Explain this one. Yeah ... you seemed so confident ... with 20 returning starters. Your O line doesn't seem motivated and your receivers don't seem want to catch a pass. I think this should be enough to tip the administration off that you really don't give a #hit about UCLA football. That you are only here as a step to the next level. A level you will never reach ... something that we can all be thankful for. Coaches like Ben Howland; they care about what they are doing and are deserving of that next level. You will never reach that stage ... you lack the vision and the drive. I hope that we get someone who has those things next week ... if not, next season. I'm a Bruin alumnus and while I was there I expected nothing less than the best for myself. And I achieved it ... for me to expect anything less from this team is a crime. I hope that they throw you out on your ass, you don't deserve to represent us. We deserve more as "we are the mighty Bruins, the best team in the West." Do use all a favor and don't let your team sing this song until they fulfill its premise.

Actually rather than rehashing what a horrible loss it was, over and over again, I'd rather enjoy speculating who would be the next Head Coach of the UCLA Football Team.  Quite frankly, it makes me feel better to think about post-Dorrell UCLA Football than to dwell on our current situation.  Yes, it may not happen today, tomorrow or even at the end of this season, but it still makes me feel better.  

So I'd love to see more speculation out there.  But honestly, I'm wondering who would be worse than Dorrell at this point?  Could I coach better than he could?  I mean, wasn't Toledo better than THIS?  I had to survive through the Donohue years and hated every moment of it but it was still better than this, wasn't it?  Could there be a worse Coach at UCLA right now?  I mean, who is out there right now looking for a head coaching job that is worse than Dorrell?

Any thoughts on that and who should be our next head coach?

This was Walker's post-game analysis.  "At times, I had to commit more bodies, take some chances and play one-on-one in the passing game."  Why are we "taking chances" against a mediocre football program like WSU?  Shouldn't this top-rated defense be a juggernaut that dictates the pace and tone of every game that we play?  (especially against sub-standard opponents).

Walker also "wasn't worried about the yards", he was "worried about keeping the points down".  Well DeWayne, don't yards eventually translate into points?  If you give up 10 yards here, 25 yards there, that means that the opposing offense is marching towards the endzone.  In other words, the opposing offense is dictating the pace of the game and doing what it is SUPPOSED to do. He claims that I felt pretty good through 3 1/2 quarters. Then the roof fell in."  That's what happens on a substandard defense, it's only a matter of time before the foundation collapses.

In our search for a new coach, perhaps one of the criteria we should look at are comments made by the coaches AND the players following losses and wins.  I mean, here's what Bruce Davis said in regards to the loss: "I wish I knew why this happens."

If the players are in the dark, obviously the coach is not doing his job.

Contrast this to comments made by Howland.  In losses, both him AND his players know exactly why they lost.  They name a specific play or a specific rotation, they LEARN from the mistake, then make the proper adjustments throughout the season.  Dorrell and his regime, on the other hand, flail about aimlessly, and give general comments... but mostly they give us statements of disbelief.  If they don't know what the problem is, how are they supposed to fix it?

DG, let me ask a few questions that might have been asked had you not declined to comment to the press after the game.  Obviously there are lots of reasons why you might not have wanted to speak to the press after the game, such as laryngitis or you had to catch a plane or something like that.  But DG, I think you were afraid someone in the MSM would mention the 500 pound gorilla and ask about the horrible coaching.

DG, you are clearly aware that these are the same players who beat Cal (although that now doesn't seem like a particularly big deal any more).  They are the same players that you thought were good enough to be given a full scholarship (well, that wouldn't include MBT.)  DG, are you going to place the blame for this latest debacle on the players?  DG, our three losses came against teams who were a combined 2-11 when we played them, but we got beat by a combined score of 91 to 19.  DG, are the coaches insulated from any responsibility for these losses?

DG, can you answer the question that has been asked by so many.  Why is it that you, the only person who has the power to do anything about the coaching situation, won't do anything?  Why won't you do your job?

DG, are you going to give the usual two comments at this point?  Is it your position that "You can't fire a coach in mid season"?  The obvious response to that statement is that it's nonsense.  Of course you can.  The question is not one of power, but is one of willingness.  You can fire him, but will you?  And I will not refuse to believe that there are some all-powerful forces in the background who are tying your hands.  I haven't seen Obiwan Kenobi waving his fingers and saying "These aren't the droids you want," and "You don't want to fire CTS."  And of course, you have never told anyone that you are merely a figurehead, and that the actual Athletic Director sits in some dark office somewhere working on the plans for a new Death Star.

And DG, if your second excuse is that recruits will jump ship, then I have some news for you.  Some are already jumping ship according to something I read (I think BRO.)  I just glanced at the headline, and it said something to the effect that two "verbal commits" were visiting other schools.  Any surprise there?  DG, do you think any high school blue-chipper with NFL aspirations would want to play for a school whose claim to fame is ..., uh ....  Well, you get my point.

DG, you cannot avoid facing the problem.  The DG legacy is being formed right now.  Will your tombstone say "He rejuvenated basketball, but he totally ignored football, and that proved to be what cost him his job."  DG, your real constituency wanted to hear your post game comments last night.  

And I hope you are aware that "DD" can also stand for "Dump Dan."  If you continue to ignore the state of the football program, you might give a call to the former AD at Nebraska.

Now for the unkindest cut of all.  Until you start doing your job, I must ask you to take your place with CTS and CHP.  I won't be able to use your name any more.  You are the Current Athletic Director, and nothing more.  So, CAD, how about some answers?
