Reconstruction underway: one or two?

UCLA Sports Information announced that sophomore defensive tackle Jess Ward underwent reconstructive surgery on the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He is expected to be cleared for contact next September, meaning he will be out of spring football completely.

A second reconstructive effort may be going on with the Bruin head coaching search. There has been no announcement on a coaching selection today and nothing other than UCLA basketball Coach Ben Howland's weekly briefing has been slated for tomorrow. It is possible that the search is opening up again and if so, calls could be going out as soon as coaches in which UCLA has interest finish their bowl games. However, it is also possible that the search is over and contract details are simply being hammered out. But if the choice was down to just Rick Neuheisel or DeWayne Walker, an announcement could have been made this week.

Bill Paschke's article is right on the money.

Unless a choice is made by tomorrow AND UCLA's Athletic Department supports that choice with EVERYTHING it can financially, Dan Guerrero should go.

Building an honorably dominant footbally program (not a winning program, a DOMINANT program that finishes in the Top 15 EVERY YEAR), needs to be the Number One priority of our athletic department.

Everything else is secondary, and signifantly so.

Personally, I hope they choose Walker. He's tough, and we need that.

And they need to fire the offensive coordinator immediately and pay the money to acquire someone with the intelligence, skills, and passion to lead our recruits to dominance.

GO BRUINS!
