@Eric – thanks for the information from your source. If Tedford really did say Tosh was replaceable, than he’s an idiot. They don’t grow recruiters like Tosh on trees.

Money talks in big tine college sports. Less I remind everyone that Coach Tedford is the highest paid employee in the university system at 2.7m/yr and Sandy makes around 600k including permance bonuses. Hell the man that is going to be sending all the PAC 12 schools all this money makes about 1.7m with bonuses on top. The bottom line is money talks and Tosh listened. Can’t blame the kid and anybody expecting him to stayaway fom the kids he knows best is just not thinking straight . If the opposite had appended e eryone here would ta
King dabout our new guys bringing some of his high profile kids to Cal. Why else would Washington open the Che k book of they didn’t think he old flip a few kids. And while all this is going on Coach Tedford is on a plane that apparently does not have phones. I sure hope Tosh did everything on the up and up and isn’t getting out of town before trouble begins.

Had dinner tonight with a well-connected source. Cal offered him $300k. UW offered $500k + a boat. This is public.

What I learned tonight (granted, double hearsay) is that Tedford and Lupoi had a falling out last year when lupoi wanted to have his contract extended – at the same time that Texas was wooing Wilcox and Wilcox wanted Lupoi to come to texas – and Tedford told Lupoi that he was “always replaceable.” Apparently since that time, there has been friction.

As for the Oregon injury-faking, as I said before, if Tedford didn’t know – which I doubt – than he totally lost control of his own team. Remember that Tedford said nothing on the subject for days, and it was only pressure from the chancellor’s office to say something that led to the public statement. Maybe it was Tedford trying to protect Tosh, but, if the alleged friction was true, I doubt it.

So, when you decommit, do you have to give the hat back?
