"(or didn’t witness, thanks, CBS Sports Network)" I thought the B1G was going to solve this problem. and b) what constitutes "cause"? Not losing every game I guess.
What I found unacceptable was the fact that when I tried to watch a replay of the first quarter on the website, there was no archive of the game available. Ugh.
Joe, with all due respect, I am not clear as to how you addressed in your article the headline "what we've learned about UCLA football." To me, we learned that we have a team undeserving of watching--grossly lacking in talent and a coaching staff (especially Foster) that does not have a clue as to how to coach a team or deal with the shit show this team has become.
Talking about going to bowl is akin to saying pigs can fly. I would be surprised if this team wins one game this season. The Detroit Free Press on Yahoo.com (might have the name wrong) rated all teams in the Big Ten and UCLA was the lowest--below Northwestern and Maryland. So where do you think we win half our games or even two games?
The only question is does UCLA clean house now or after the season.
The team sucks right now. Down by at least 20 points in the first half of the first two games. Foster isn't a head coach. Real dumb decision by Jarmond.
As bad as the team is, they didn't give up, which shows they have at least some pride in themselves and what they're trying to do for their coaching staff. DSF is one of the greatest RBs in UCLA football history (#5 in career total yardage) and an admirable player's coach, but the lack of proven experience is hurting the program as he tries to learn what works and what doesn't work. I have a feeling the UCLA administration will take the easiest and cheapest route and do nothing for the next year or two, but hope they at least consider replacing the AD sooner rather than later.
While talk about firing Coach Foster is appropriate, our AD should be included in this discussion. What are his buyout terms? Football under his leadership has been horrible.
I really don’t want to whine and scream for somebody’s job after a few poor performances…but the college sports landscape has changed dramatically the last few years, and the principal revenue driver is football. In the past, you might have said “coach Donahuek is such a nice fellow, maybe he’ll beat SC one of these years” or “Karl Dorrell is one of ours, an alumni !”, but…this is a business, and to paraphrase Ray Stantz from Ghostbusters, “they expect results”. Feels like the Bruins just don’t get it, and the AD and coaching staff don’t seem to be making any progress. There may be a memo coming soon from The Big Ten reminding UCLA that, “if you want to collect the money…you have to at least try”.

I caught the first half on the CBS Sports App. You didn't miss much. 🤣
I watched the first quarter on cbs livestream. I never did figure out how to watch the rest of it. Probably just as well...

We've learned a head football coach who appears to be totally lost.
He was totally lost at the jump of his hire date

P.S.--"We were close" (again)
Hence why our AD and sports admin should be fired for gross negligence. They are bleeding the equity out of the UCLA brand
Sorry, the verdict is gross incompetence, not negligence.
I stand corrected. I think we agree on the same idea

Or better yet, they might say Big Ten Conference has no room for high school football. Please return to where you belong.
