Y’all need to chill out. No apologies for anyone, Dan – Let’s review the season *after* the season is over. Lots of football still to be played, and I still see lots to like about this team.

Maybe we’re a 4 win team and Tedford gets fired, maybe not. Let them play the games.

This season while still early, is over in my opinion. It is sad that our expectations have gone so low. It was not too long ago that our goal was to one day make it to the Rose Bowl. Well, here we are trying to see if we can even make it to a bowl game and this guessing game has been going on for the past few years. Please Santa Claus, give me a good xmas gift by letting go Tedfurd and surprising us Cal fans w/ an inspirational, young, smart, energetic coach from a D-1 school or NFL. Look what UCLA has done? Look what Stanfurd has done w/ Harbaugh a few yrs ago? WE Cal fans can slice and dice every game on why/how our team lost but it all comes to preparation, discipline, and most important the drive from the players and who else provides all these intangibles? It aint Tedfurd. He’s got none and the players show it on the field.

Chip Kelly ain’t exactly Mr. Olympia. Let’s not get silly, whatever is going on, Tedford’s weight isn’t the issue. Heck for all we know, the guy may be at the facility 24/7 eating junk food and not getting out to live much (although the level of preparedness of this team does not suggest that scenario).

If the Bears end up going 4-8, I wonder if Cal fans could use Kickstarter.com to collect funds to buy out the last three years of Tedford’s contract.

Covinard,

Those guys you mentioned were always girthy guys. Madden was an O-lineman in his college days. Tedford came in as a fit and trim ex quarterback with a work ethic that was not matched by anyone. When you let yourself go to that extent, the message he is sending me is that he just doesn’t much care anymore.

I am not saying any of this if the guy is pulling down 600K a year. With his salary, he deserves this kind of scrutiny. BTW, both Toledo and the Kansas guy were fired, one for improprieties and the other for not getting it done on the field. Tom Holmoe once beat a Toledo coached team 17-0.

Ayoob or Maynard…which one was worse?

By the way do you think that being a JC and Fresno State graduate limits Tedford in anyway? Harbaugh went to Michigan (which some publications say is the #1 public university in the country).

Why does this happen every season? The first or second string players get injured, and there is no one to step up and pick up the slack. Is there a reason Cal seems to have a perennial lack of depth problem that bites them badly?

Not just 40 lb.s more than when he was hired, but so much less animated. He really is a bad example from the bulging belly perspective. And what is with those f’in sunglasses? Tedford stands there as if he is a scout or spectator. No emotion or expression. Players feed off that, and JT gives none. My take is he finally has several millions in the bank and he has lot that hunger he brought 10 years ago.

What pray tell makes Tedford think he can win in this new Pac 12 with the game plan and personnel he trots out these days? Even the TV announcers second guess him. No balls whasoever. No more wasted Saturday afternoons getting emotionally involved then emotionally drained watching. And hell with this new Pac 12 network. What a scam!
