Skinner Removed; Fired by UCLA Bruins Tuesday, October 21st , 2031 Weeks of speculation were officially ended today when it was announced that Willie Skinner has been dismissed as the manager of the UCLA Bruins. "I can't really say I'm surprised. I saw this coming for a while, but I guess there was nothing much I could really do to prevent it," Willie Skinner told BNN. "It's not easy to manage when every decision you make is closely scrutinized and criticized, but that's what I dealt with." A team official said the firing was the end result of "major and irreconcilable differences of opinion" between Skinner and the front office. When pressed for more information, UCLA general manager Joe Unknown skirted the issue. "We're not going to get into that right now. It's not really important why he was fired -- we're just going in a different direction," he said. BNN originally reported Skinner's tenure with the club was in jeopardy three weeks ago, which team officials at the time dismissed as "just a rumor." |
