A different analysis, but one that reaches the same conclusion, can be found on maverickbruin.com.
What's truly interesting is that there is a wealth of data out there, and virtually all of it is negative to KD. And yet Blindo and Circulo don't even bother to pretend to look at the data. They just make things up: "our talent sucks." Then all the Blindos and Circulos join in a little circle jerk in this newly-found conventional wisdom with no basis in reality.
It's amazing.
Excellent use of empirical evidence to prove the obvious.
Dorrell is just not a good coach.
Somebody should type this up in a nice neat package and deliver it to Dan Guerrero.
Nice work O. We just need to keep hammering away with these facts for now. This may seem like a thankless job, but sooner or later the facts will catch up with this abomination of a head coach, and idiot blidos and circulos.
The spin on the message boards is inexplicable. The new Conventional Wisdom is rapidly developing.
If it wasn't clear already, it is now. These guys love Horrell Dorrell more than they love winning.
I think KD fans want to wrap themselves up in some kind of weird-dimented reverse rationalization. Their thinking may go like this. Look at a school like Boise State, Purdue, Pitt, and Boston College. They didn't have blue chip talents - but they still went to great bowl games. In their eyes, KD through his magical touch will turn "sleepers" with "characters" into a combination of great football programs turning UCLA into 9-10 game winning football program! Of course they are completely over-looking the premise that those aforementioned schools have a core foundation in place with solid offense and defense, and a coach who knows what he is doing when he is walking around the sidelines. It is really pathetic and sad how these so called fans have completely hijacked our football program.
Things will only get worse with the "talent" the new wizard of westwood is accumulating. [he is a wizard only in the sense that he is magically able to hang on to his job].
Blindo are Circulo are now arguing that based on the NFL players Stoops had at Oklahoma, he should be fired. I kid you not. Their new non sequitor is that if these statistics demonstrate that KD is a bad coach, they REALLY show that Stoops is a bad coach.
Truly amazing.
Good job.
Saw these numbers on the blue board and ran your analysis for 03/04 (Dorrell's entire tenure),
but using conference records only.
Team, Draftees, record, ratio
WSU, 5, (9-7) 1.8
Cal, 7, (12-4) 1.7
USC, 9, (15-1) 1.7
ORE, 6, (9-7) 1.5
ASU, 5, (7-9) 1.4
OSU, 7, (9-7) 1.3
UCLA, 8, (8-8 ) 1.0
Wash, 6, (4-12) 0.7 fired
Stan, 9, (4-12) 0.4 fired
Ariz, 0, (3-13) 0.0 fired Mackovic
KD is the least productive coach left.
Thanks McCloskey. Whenever you are using our information on the blue board or anywhere, please make sure to cross link to our posts and blog. That way it will help us to get the word out what we are trying to all over online.
wow ... the first 10 comment thread I think here on FKD. This is a very good sign. It is all about baby steps. If Horrell Dorrell come out of the block stumbling in his first 4 games (2-2), this place will be hopping. Shoot ... its hopping right now. Bruin fans/alums with a sense of perspective. Imagine that.
Will do.
Maybe I didn't make it clear in my comment above,
but I was copying info from somebody else's post on the blue board and bringing it here.
But if I take info from here and post it somewhere else,
I will absolutely link to you guys.
No worries McCloskey. We love your contribution. Post here as much you like. And definitely let any fans in the blue board or anywhere else ... who are getting frustrated by the hoarded of blindos and circulos dominating the conversation, playing Imams - attacking any voice of dissent, to come over here and post their thoughts and frustrations about this abomination fo a football coach.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I think this topic is some follow-ups later on.
