Would love to see a loose JT on the sidelines. It’s not like being wound up like a overspun top is getting him anywhere, how about try something different to get different results. Maybe the coaching staff can bring on a “relaxation and happyness (SIC)” student intern to help out.

JT says he wants to “loosen up” this year and have fun. He needs to figure how to do that in close games. I’ve asked the football stat geeks to run some numbers and here are the results.

We all know Cal can blow out almost any team when they execute well, because they have top notch talent (ahd been so blessed most of JTs years). But when another team keeps pace, JT has a pedestrian W/L record. During his tenure, Cal has been in 37 games that were either tied or had less than a TD margin at the beginning of the 4th quarter. JT’s record in those games is 19/18, just barely over 50%. Interestingly, in 10 of the losses the game was either tied or Cal was winning heading into the 4th. We all know he’s a “play by the percentages guy”, but history shows his conservative late game decisions has made him a 50/50 coach at best.

Let’s hope this UCLA game doesn’t come down to the 4th quarter where it will be a coin flip to see who wins. Keep the pedal to the metal JT against UCLA. Your odds are at least as good that Cal will get a W.

Get Greasemonkey and the user script written to use with it.

Try it, it is very liberating.

After we beat UCLA, your spoiled trojans are next.

GO BEARS!!

Have you asked Teddy if he is still having fun after the last two losses? Remember how he reinvented himself as a fun loving, can’t always be sucking on lemons kind of coach. It that approach still working for him?
