					<description>Now that is one thorough comment Bruins1.  I would say you are a little passionate about UCLA and the current status of their football team. ;-)</description>

					<description>Also look at Mariucci - 

Of course people will be up in arms about even the speculation of The Karl being axed. I cant wait to see jesse and rev. al sharpton go on a the talk shows cus a black coach was again wronged. Cant say that he beat USC because so has Stanford and Oregon State over the last 2 years. But none of them has looked as bad as the Bruins when they lost to Notre Dame this year. A complete embarassment 

Well lets take a look shall we:
 let's assume that this year's 20 returning starters team manages to eek out a single win out of its last 3 games, all of which are against ranked teams, and ends the year at 6-6.  Thus, by the sheer, almighty grace of Heaven, UCLA's record would be this: 

2003 -- 6-7 (L - Silicon Valley Bowl)
2004 -- 6-6 (L - Las Vegas Bowl)
2005 -- 10-2 (W - Sun Bowl)
2006 -- 7-6 (L - Emerald Bowl)
2007 -- 6-6 (hypothetical, not counting Bowl Game)
TOTAL:  35-27, or 56.45%. 

Flip a coin, and you have a 50% chance of it coming up heads or tails.  A 1 in 2 chance. 

After 5 years with UCLA, it's still not all-that-much better than a coin flip (i.e. a 1 in 2 chance) as to whether a UCLA team is going to win or not.   Take out 2005, and it's exactly that.  25 and 25.  A freaking coin flip.  

By contrast, compare KD's first 5 years to the 5-year records of some other Pac-10 coaches: 

U$C -- Carroll -- 54-10 = 84.38%.
Better than a 5 out of 6 chance.

Cal -- Tedford -- 43-20 = 68.25%. 
Better than 2 out of 3.

Oregon -- Bellotti -- 39-20 = 66.10%.
Just a hair under 2 out of 3.

UCLA -- Toledo -- 35-23 = 60.34% 
Just about 3 out of 5. 

Even Toledo was more likely to win during his first 5 years than KD.  I'm not saying that 60% SHOULD be the baseline, but come ON. 

Just winning at Coach Bellotti's level means winning an average of 8 out of 12 games every year.  If in one year you get 10 wins, you may have a 6-win year to balance it out.  Still, I wouldn't mind THAT kind of spread:  heads, you go to Vegas; tails, you might win the Pac-10. 

Under KD, however, we've had ONE 10-win season for THREE 6 or 7-win seasons.  At the rate we're going, we'll be LUCKY to make it one 10-win season against FOUR 6-win seasons.

Karl Dorrell’s Record (updated as of 12/27/06) 

1. 1-3 against Southern Cal. 
2. No Pac-10 championships. 
3. No BCS bowl games. 
4. 1-10 on the road against teams with a winning record. 
5. Worst starting 3- AND 4-year record of any UCLA football coach since WW2, including Bob Toledo who was fired. 
6. Worse winning percentage than Bob Toledo, who was fired. 
7. 3-11 against ranked teams. 
8. 2-7 against top 10 teams. 
9. Only 6 conference wins against teams over .500. 
10. 19-14 in the Pac-10. 
11. 8-17 against teams with a winning record. 
12. 10 losses to unranked teams. 
13. He has a losing record after October, 6-12. 
14. Embarrassing losses to Wyoming, Fresno State, Arizona, Washington State at home and Southern Cal. 
15. Only 1 big game win. 
16. Revolving door for assistant coaches. 
17. 80% of Bruins fans polled on Bruinsnation.com disapprove of the job Karl Dorrell is doing.</description>
