Letters to Sports: UCLA fans aren't happy with state of football program
"Well, it is starting to appear that we are on the way to another in a series of mediocre football seasons at my alma mater UCLA. I am now officially in the "I don't care about UCLA Football anymore" camp. I graduated from UCLA in 1975 and while every once in a while UCLA will have a somewhat successful season, the best they seem to be able to do is be invited to a second-tier bowl game. The College Football Playoff? Forget about it."
"It has to be painfully obvious that the DeShaun Foster experiment at head coach is a dismal failure. The loss to UNLV was not just embarrassing but shameful. It was once said that Foster was Karl Dorrell 2.0, but that is unfair. Dorrell had a 10-win season and beat USC. Coach "We're Close" Foster is in way over his head. His team is undisciplined and unprepared. This clueless performance will lead to a completely empty Rose Bowl and eventual desertion of NIL sponsors."
UCLA football is sliding into another mediocre season with repeated losses and diminishing fan enthusiasm. Coach DeShaun Foster faces widespread criticism for being overmatched and producing undisciplined, unprepared teams. Recent defeats, including embarrassing losses to UNLV and New Mexico, are creating fears of a winless season and sponsor desertion. Longtime season-ticket holders report disappointment and consider reduced engagement. Suggestions range from firing the head coach to dropping the program to a lower division or eliminating it to balance the athletic budget. Concerns include weak conditioning, empty stadiums, and potential long-term reputational damage.
