IS IT TIME AGAIN TO FIRE KARL DORRELL ?

52-14 against a poor Arizona team is pathetic. I guess sometimes it helps to play a little defense. Also, I guess some lead are too big to overcome in the fourth quarter. Over at Bruin's Nation they are already back to their favorite hobby and placing the blame on Karl Dorrell. He certainly deserves some for the debacle, but there is plenty to go around. Despite this embarrassment, UCLA has put together a surprisingly good season and even assuming it ends with two losses (if Arizona can put up 52, what do you think USC can do???), you've got to recognize that Dorrell has had a nice season overall.

It’s Notre Dame, 2002 all over again – 8-0, exposed by a lesser team, an encore blowout by USC on the horizon, and maybe even a bowl loss if they have to play a non-Pac-10 team.

It’s UCLA…Do they want to go back to the Karl Dorrell era?

Steedle … you should post on our blog. We can always use cold dose of reality from CFB fans with a neutral perspective.

NO!

Don’t fire him! Then all we will hear from John Saunders on The Sports Reporters is how there are so few black coaches in college football.

This year the Bruins really were nothing more than a paper tiger. They had all the trouble with some really bad teams. These Dorrell teams are undisciplined. Look at the tackling for all of dorrell years. Stupid mistakes are constantly killing them. Dorrell is a lousy head coach and the only reason he did not get fired last year was Tyrone Willingham got fired first.
Please get rid of him or we may never beat USC again
