For those who wondered if I “walked out in the middle of the game” last night, here’s an explanation not an apology. I am updating the blog as often as I can — just as I do throughout basketball games — but as deadline approaches for my print edition newspaper story, I have no choice sometimes but to step away from the blog and take care of that. Then there are postgame interviews, etc. It’s an imperfect system, having to do two things at once. Not nearly as much of a problem for a day game, but at night deadline arrives quickly. I will do the best I can. Hopefully, it adds something to the experience of following the game.

I think Tedford will be out after next year. One way or another. He should step down and claim he wants to, “spend more time with my family”. He let the evolution of Pac-10/12 football pass him by. Start with a fresh coach, but keep Gould with the coaching staff again. I’m not sure if Gould would want to be a HC.

To Eric’s points: it’s too close to the new year for me to go very negative, but when the head coach’s demeanor starts to irritate, that tells me there are deeper issues beginning with the quality of the coaching. Out of shape, gum chewing, toting a bill board-sized play card, stink-eyeing Anger for a rare shanked punt, on to…no motivating influence, unresponsive play calling, incapable of making adjustments, ykes…the list is getting longer. Mahalo for the therapy. I’d give him one more year in recognition of the SAHPC and past achievements. Props to the D and to all the coordinators. Here’s to 2012, hopefully a great recruiting year, reasonably priced tickets, and to all true old Blues, cheers! and, Go Bears!

I appreciate all he’s done for the program, but while some things have been consistent, on-field performance has been consistently sub-par,

He’s burned out and overmatched. He should acknowledge it and resign with dignity. After his 3rd year, he had enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

Next year will be Tedford’s last (it had better be), and I do not have a problem with his termination mid-season after the first very disappointing loss of the year, it will happen…

“Let’s call a timeout right after the other team does, that’ll confuse them.” “Let’s huddle up and then slowly walk to the line of scrimmage down 11 with 4 minutes to go, why hurry?” Remember when we actually thought that Tedford was some kind of coaching genius?? Talk about pulling the wool over our eyes…

I would just like for those who consistently defend Tedford to share their views as to whether this was a well-coached game where we either were unlucky or simply bested by a better team despite giving it our all, or whether this was an example of a poorly-coached game (and, if so, how it differs from the UW, Oregon, U$C, and UCLA losses – Furd was a loss, but not a poorly coached game in my book). When there is a good coaching performance, I am happy to acknowledge, notwithstanding my belief Tedford is absolutely the wrong coach for this team, but it would be good see those who believe Tedford is the right coach to acknowledge flaws (if they believe there are flaws).
