I was wrong

by silverlakebruin on Sep 15, 2007 3:32 PM PDT

Being an optomist by nature, I would often view the UCLA football program as half full, and ignore the deficiencies I saw. Although I knew KD was not a good coach, and knew the WCO could never succeed in college, I would hope that KD would somehow find coordinators who would be able to do something, that his good character would somehow find a way to get it done.

Regardless of how we do in this Utah game (and it is not looking good) it is undeniable to anyone who knows football that KD, in his fifth year, is still not a competent coach. He still doesn not have his players prepared. He has a QB who is not accurate and doesn't make good decisions. He runs an offense that is not productive. He does not feature his best players. He does not adjust his offensive schemes to the strengths of his players.

In this game, the use of Markey instead of Bell, the total incompetency of Olson, getting faked on a fake field goal on 4th and 2 on the 30 AFTER A TIMEOUT!!!! is totally inexcusable, as is the flat play of the team, the excessive penalties, and the overall lack of enthusiasm.

He is Steve Lavin with a conscience. There is no way KD will meet the requirements we have set for him. He must not coach beyond the 2007 season.

KD must go.

Shaking my head

Posts like this just make me even more sad.

Silverlake ... it is all good.

I just hope you understand why we have been so frustrated for all these years.

He must not coach

beyond September 15th, 2007.

Seriously

He should be fired before they even get on the plane. 20 returning starters, and this is the best he can do? Embarrassing.

Solid post

How about the nice time out we had to take before our first FG in the 1st quarter?

Again, the offense was not prepared. This is Game 3 and we have 20 returning starters (the cliche of the season).

Very sad.

Did we practice this week?

This may go down as one of the most embarrassing games under KD's tenure. I hope DG is paying attention!!!

Don't sweat it

Look, "NOBODY" here has or ever had it out for KD because he was African-American as someone retardedly mentioned. Yes, BN had and does continue to have an "AGENDA" as other Bruin sites have noted.

Our "AGENDA" is to make sure that UCLA Football has a competent coach in the fullest sense that will place our kids in positins to suceed as well as get the most out of them. KD is a honorable human being but as a coach, he is horrible. We saw it and we saw the program slowly decaying underneath his watch. We tried to avoid the trainwreck that was coming but unfortunately, others did not see it that way.

THIS SUMS IT UP.

If I can figure it out, I'm bumping this to front page.

WHY NOT US? WHY NOT NOW?

I'm so tired of this...

I'm begging for a mid-season firing. For example, tomorrow.

I stopped watching

when BO got sacked for 20 yards.

How many more disasters like this will it take for DG to fire this so-called coach?

His comments after the half were, again, disgusting. "What did you tell your team, Coach?" KD: "We're in a heck of a game."

Are you f*kng kidding me? He should have said, "What I told them cannot be repeated on public airwaves. We are being outcoached and outplayed completely."

KD has never admitted responsibility for anything.

Just like Lavin.

Another historical blowout disaster.

Just like Lavin.

I would suggest t-shirts that say, "Just Like Lavin," but they would be too esoteric for KD. How about, "FIRE DORRELL."

We are in Hell. See you later guys.
