Count 'em on one hand: Dorrell firing leaves 5 black head coaches in NCAA D-I football

UCLA fired Karl Dorrell Monday in a move that many saw coming. The Bruins compiled a 35-27 record and reached a bowl in every season under Dorrell's leadership, but above average simply isn't good enough in the Pac-10. What's troubling about this news is the fact that there are now only five black coaches remaining in NCAA Division I football. Out of 119 jobs, five is not enough. [link]
