I don’t know how you can call Lupoi a mediocre DL coach. He has put one of his DL into the 1st round of the draft the past 2 years. What do you base that on?

And that when Tosh decided to leave, it was like a flip switched.

And I firmly agree that absent a getting both sides (or multiple sides), it doesn’t pay to jump to conclusions. I do think the following:

1. If Tosh is keeping Cal property, he is destroying his own credibility.

2. Tedford and Sandy need to explain why one DL coach had so much sway in recruiting.

3. I would love the hard-hitting analysis (by journalists, anyone?) asking why the incoming class is really a typical Cal class over the last 4-5 years, when we were told it was all about the facilities, the tree-sitters, etc.

4. I would also like the hard-hitting analysis (where are our journalists) asking why Cal has produced more NFL players in the last 5 years than the prior 5, Cal has had more 4-star recruits since 2005 than before, Tedford’s salary has only increased, and yet the results have not nearly been as good, with Oregon, UW, and Furd all becoming significantly better.

There is a rumor Tosh tried to take Tedford out on his way out. On one hand, you think scumbag. On the other, you think what has really gone on with this program behind the scenes. It’s convenient to label Tosh a dirtbag- it’s easy, simple, and makes things easier to accept.

But Tosh was by all accounts, up until 3 weeks ago, a truly stand up guy. If he IS that, maybe there is some things we don;t know about with Tedford, that would lead Tosh to do what he has done, but to go to lenghts of trying to get Tedford canned.

Again, this is just a rumor- I am not making any accusations, just stating that there are 2 sides to every story- maybe 2 sides- each person’s version, and the truth. Maybe Tosh is somewhat justified in what has transpired. Not saying he is, just saying we don’t know everything.

It’s like a run on a bank, each kid that leaves creates enough extra panic for the next to leave.
