Dump Dorrell Movement Spreads Out To The East

This is the definitely the beginning of an end.

and pray....

is coming in from all over the country. Despite the morons who use the injury excuse and want to see a sixth year under CTS, DG and admin have to be all to aware of the building chorus. BN, DumpDorrell and everyone, keep up the pressure. Every time there is a DG sighting at the Oregon game, Dump Dorrell shirts need to crowd around. Make it top of mind.

It's pathetic is has to come to this. Expectations have been lowered for so many years and cemented in much of the popular mind set. My first year at ucla, the football program was horrible, finishing 3-7-1. I knew back then problems would continue for years given the culture and issues with the program. I have never been able to remotely grasp how ucla stands for excellence in all areas and programs except football. Donahue laid a problematic foundation that continues to this day.

There have been so many great posts about wanting to clean house and make a new start. I can't help but be somewhat pessimisted given the program's history, but my hope is that DG is finally in position to do right by this program as he has done with others. Once CTS is gone, the agenda immediately shifts to the next step; no more idiotic hires. I've e-mailed DG several times about this, he probably never gets them. The message needs to be clear though; No more Dorrells!!!!!!!!!!

We have ranted and raved.  We have listened to promise after promise of improvement and working harder.  We have heard excuse after excuse (learning curve, the assistant coaches, the injuries, etc.).  Trying to argue against the few remaining Dorrellistas is an exercise in futility. Pleading the case to the decision makers in the Morgan Center and the beat reporters is getting redundant.  At this point either you get it or you never will.  Toast is toast.  Let's move on.

are occurring to me. I have been reading all the "Toast" and similar comments in a mellow glow of satisfaction, ever since DG broke his silence to say that he would be very interested in how we finished. Since it was almost a dead certainty at that time that we were going to lose at least the three final games, I assumed that the death knell of the Dorrell Era had been sounded. It now seems likely that we will lose all four of the games that remained, since we have no reliable offense and our defense has been shredded by, well, just about everybody except Notre Dame. But now it occurs to me that DG must have realized all that. So what was he saying? Did he really mean that his evaluation of Dorrell would be based on those remaining games, and not on his pitiful five-year record? If so, what conclusions is he drawing? What is he looking for? Can Dorrell lose all the games and still survive as long as we show up and play hard? Some of you really believe in DG, but I don't know what to think. So tell me how stupid I am being. I'll appreciate it.

The advice is fine, but the major premise is wrong.  There are no "personal attacks" on CTS that I know of here.  It's not a "personal attach" to point out the facts.  As I recall, anything said about him that was speculation or opinion has been identified as such.

I personally think he looks like Gladys Knight and Barry Bonds (with a smaller head than Barry, of course) but that's just my opinion and I have pointed it out.

I also am of the opinion that he fired a coach by way of a text message.  That whole issue was hashed out at length, and the known facts were laid out and discussed.

I am also of the opinion that he is the worst college football coach that I have ever seen (and that includes Bill Callahan and everyone else.)  I can articulate my reasons for that with the facts that unfortunately we all know only too well.

When it's factual, it's not an insult or name-calling.  Dizzy Dean said it's not bragging if you can do it.  I think CTS is pointing out that the opposite is true.

And if Dorrellistas get riled up, that's good.  Maybe they will come here to debate the issue.  I remain convinced that any UCLA-based Dorrellista (i.e., someone with enough intelligence to get into the school) will be drawn back from the dark side when confronted with the facts.  That's why I welcome Dorrellistas here.  It's sort of like being a missionary in a way.

End of rant.

I can not believe that. Who can tell me?

gone? I am guessing DG feels there is very little to be gained, beyond providing immediate relief to the irate fan base, by making official what must be assumed is already a forgone conclusion. I think what we are getting from DG is exactly what you would expect.  He is playing his cards close to the vest most likely because he believes it is in the best interest of the current players and it allows him to do his preliminary search below the radar.  Rest assured, Toast is toast.
