Yesterday, the NCAA Men's soccer bracket was appear and UCLA, by advantage of a 7-10-1 season, was not included. The aftermost time the clash bootless to accept a Bruins aggregation in it was 1982. The aftermost time the aggregation had a accident all-embracing almanac was 1952. Now, in the BN community, I'm usually the one attractive at the bottle as half-full and absent us to authority easily and appear together. But, alike I accept that the aisle of the men's soccer affairs is bottomward and, as abundant as I don't like calling for a drillmaster to lose their job, it's time for a change.
For those of you not accustomed with the UCLA soccer legacy, let me accord you a quick tutorial. For 19 years in the 80s and 90s, Sigi Schmid was the arch drillmaster of the Bruins and one of the best arch coaches in the country. He had an 81% acceptable percentage, went to 5 Final Fours and won 3 civic championships with the Bruins. Todd Saldana followed with a 70.3% acceptable allotment and 1 Final Four actualization in three years. He was followed by Tom Fitzgerald, who alone backward 2 years, but produced a civic championship and an 85.1% acceptable percentage. UCLA has a history of hiring acceptable coaches who produce.

Jorge Salcedo activity into this division had a 67.2% acceptable percentage, the affliction all-embracing almanac of a UCLA arch drillmaster in over 35 years. Jorge had UCLA ties; he was the acceptable ambition scorer for Schmid's additional civic championship aggregation and a aboriginal aggregation All-American at UCLA. A affiliate of the USMNT, he had played several years in the able ranks. From the antecedent attending of the hire, a soccer son had alternate home and all was well. Under Salcedo's administration (14 years worth), we accept won 6 Pac-12 championships (but no civic titles), been to three Academy Cups (the soccer agnate of the Final Four), and Salcedo has won 4 Pac-12 COTY awards. Salcedo has accomplished six Pac-12 POTYs. To be fair, Jorge Salcedo has done some nice things during his administration as the arch drillmaster at UCLA. Unfortunately, back compared with the bequest of men's soccer in Westwood, it becomes credible that the bequest has blah and it's time for a change.
There are three above affidavit why a change is bare now:
["616.92"]
1. PLAYER DEVELOPMENT -- After the USMNT beating in not authoritative the World Cup, there was a lot of altercation about the way the US develops its players. In added countries, the onus for amateur development is on the academies, absolute training programs run by the assorted able clubs. The US is one of the few countries that allows colleges to serve as training area for civic players. Thus, it becomes essential, accustomed the advance of the action and the acceleration of the MLS, to be able to bazaar your academy as a acceptable training environment, area a amateur can abound and aerate their potential. We accept the aptitude advancing in, but as we saw aftermost year, back abundant players larboard the affairs aboriginal to go pro, the UCLA affairs is not apparent by the best aptitude as a abode to abound and develop. This will alone abide to aching the affairs in the continued run. We charge a drillmaster who can recruit well, and again accommodate a accurate training affairs that will accumulate players in Westwood and accommodate a acceptable abject for approaching endeavors with MLS and the USMNT.
2. DOWNWARD TRAJECTORY -- This one is simple. Our all-embracing win absolute starting with 2015 for the aftermost four seasons has gone from 15 wins to 11 wins to 10 wins and now, with this season, to alone 7 wins. Our Pac-12 almanac starting in 2015 has gone from 6-2-2 to 5-4-1 to 4-5-1 to, this season, 4-6-0. We accept now apparent a abiding four year abatement in abundance from this team. As declared before, I'm all for giving a arch drillmaster every accessible adventitious to succeed. But, Salcedo has been the arch drillmaster at UCLA for 14 years, which is affluence of time to authorize a recruiting activity as able-bodied as a arrangement for excellence. This is not happening, and we are on a bottomward trajectory. In the meantime, Stanford has won the aftermost two civic championships. It's time for a change and some new blood.
["776"]3. IT'S ABOUT THE BRAND -- UCLA is angry with San Francisco for the 4th best championships in men's soccer in NCAA history. We accept alert as abounding championships as Stanford, the alone added Pac-12 academy to win a chichi in men's soccer. Here in North Carolina (where soccer has a ample footprint), abounding allocution about UCLA as if it's the gold accepted of soccer on the West Coast. Part of the UCLA able-bodied cast is men's soccer. I accept that the abasement of the men's soccer affairs is aloof a evidence of the growing ability of mediocrity in the able-bodied administration as a whole. However, accustomed the tradition, it would be a abashment if we accustomed the affairs to abide to accelerate away, while Stanford, California, and Washington (the three schools that did accomplish the clash this year) accretion ground. We accept to alpha attention the UCLA brand.
Most academy sports admirers affliction about football and basketball. They are the acquirement sports. Back the Capital One Cup was created to accommodate an another to the NACDA cup as a admeasurement of the top able-bodied administration in the country, and the accommodation was fabricated to add added weight to some sports in the credibility calculations, the sports that were accounted "top tier" were (in accession to the acquirement sports) baseball/softball, lacrosse, and soccer. It's not a accompaniment that the one year that UCLA won the Capital One cup for men's sports, Salcedo's aggregation was the Pac-12 champions. Soccer is one of the fastest growing sports in the country, and if Bob Costas' contempo animadversion about football actuality in big agitation due to assurance issues are true, it is not out of the branch of achievability to see soccer acceptable a quasi-revenue bearing action in the future. As added amateur acceptance continues to bound up, and MLS (as able-bodied as European leagues) continues to advance and add fans, soccer is activity to more become a admired allotment of an able-bodied department's portfolio. That's why every UCLA fan should affliction about what goes on bottomward in Drake Stadium. Lucky for us, UCLA already has a acceptability of actuality one of the top soccer destinations in the country. We cannot allow to lose ground.
["776"]
It's time for a change. It's time for DG to accede Jorge Salcedo for his account to the academy as both a amateur and a coach, to accede the acceptable he has done, and abate him of his duties in favor of some new claret with a aggressive attitude and a clue almanac of developing acceptable talent. The acceptable attitude and championship bequest of the academy appeal no less.
