Former UCLA quarterback Chris Forcier joined the show to discuss the press release he sent out before leaving the school to go to Furman.
Forcier list a bunch of "facts" about what happened to him in Westwood. Forcier said the coaching change was the main reason he didn't play at UCLA.
"I was recruited by a different staff," Forcier said on the show. In the end, at that level college football is a business and a new boss meant new players.
Forcier said that UCLA actually played him at receiver this Spring. He really wanted to play quarterback.
Dan asked him why he didn't just leave without issuing this release. "I just wanted people to know why I was leaving school," Forcier said.
Forcier said that UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel helped him with the transfer process.
Here is a sample of Forcier's press release:
Fact: I was a National Recruit out of High School including multiple Pac-10 offers.
Fact: I was a scout.com (4) Star QB labeled as a dual-threat. I learned a complicated offense that calls for a pocket passing QB.
Fact: I'm a life long UCLA Fan. I love UCLA Football. Most Bruin fans have been very supportive/good people.
Fact: I've always worked hard in the classroom as a student athlete where I've been recognized as a UCLA Honor Roll student.
Fact: I've competed hard in games and on the practice field, in film and meetings where I've always come prepared, attentive, always taking notes.
Fact: I believe my UCLA teammates respect me, especially the defense since my freshman year including past D-Coordinator Coach Walker.
Fact: I was practice player of the week as a freshman multiple times.
Fact: New QB Coach Norm Chow and New Head Coach Rick Neuheisel have brought in and played since day (1) their own guys (Quarterbacks)
