No more Mr. Nice Guy

UCLA head coach Karl Dorrell talked about coaching "harder" last week, the definition of which was provided by defensive end Bruce Davis in a post-game interview with Kevin Pearson of the Riverside Press-Enterprise:

"He stayed in our face all week and he didn’t let up. That’s what a head coach is supposed to do and he did a great job of it.

"I didn’t like it so much when it was happening, but I appreciate it now. He did a great job of motivating us and keeping our heads on straight and keeping us focused."

The rest of Pearson’s Sunday story is here.

I graduated from UCLA in '61 and picked up a Masters in '64. Having grown up in the Westside, I used to listen to Bob Kelly, rather than Jim Healy, and never realized that Healy was a Bruin.

Great job Karl, keeping the guys focused on playing the whole game with intensity. You rock!

Go Bruins!
