Perspectives: UCLA Fires Dorrell Despite Academic Success, Winning Record and 100% Bowl Record

by Diverse staff , December 4, 2007

Categories:

Defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker will serve as interim head coach. Dorrell was under contract through 2011, but it included a buyout clause that would pay him more than $2 million over a two-year period.

His firing reduces the number of Division I-A Black head coaches to five out of a total 116. Those remaining are: Sylvester Croom at Mississippi State, Tyrone Willingham at the University of Washington, Turner Gill at the University of Buffalo, Randy Shannon at the University of Miami and Ron Prince at Kansas State. 

"I'm sad for Karl," said Floyd Keith, executive director of the Black Coaches Assocation in a Tuesday Los Angeles Times article. "It's unfortunate he had so many injuries this year. I wish they would have given him another year."
