LOS ANGELES -- Bob Toledo was fired by UCLA on Monday after two lopsided losses to finish the regular season.

Toledo coached UCLA to a school-record 20-game winning streak in 1997-98, but the Bruins have gone 24-24 since then and have lost four straight to rival Southern California.

Toledo's firing was announced by school spokesman Steve Rourke.

The 56-year-old Toledo guided UCLA to a 49-32 record in seven seasons, the third-most wins for a football coach in school history. Toledo was hired in January 1996, succeeding Terry Donahue, who retired after coaching the Bruins for 20 seasons and is now general manager of the San Francisco 49ers.

The Bruins are 7-5 this season, including a 52-21 loss to USC on Nov. 23, and a 48-27 loss to Washington State on Saturday.

Toledo will not coach UCLA in the Dec. 25 Las Vegas Bowl, where the Bruins will play New Mexico.
