I like the idea of raiding Washington for coaches to get them back. Or anyone else in the Pac12. Double whammy, we benefit, they take steps backwards. And we get some of their recent recruits to restock the shelves. Sounds slimey, but I’m sure we could do it in a not-as-slimey-as-possible manner. That’s the way it works now. We gotta be willing to play the game at least a little. Let’s get some young guys with energy and enthusiasm and a connection to the kids so we can get top recruits each year. You bring those attributes here, with the recent history of our players going to the NFL and with the new facilities, we can still turn this around. But we need to stop drafting so many dang QBs, get the young ones we have to play well, and draft a ton of good linemen who will compete with each other until we have a group that controls the trenches. This is all doable if UCB will take the right steps now and turn the momentum. Its just like a football game. Time to read the situation and make some in-game decisions to turn the tide.

@Nick, YES!!!! I like this guy.

Sandy (or whoever): “Willie Taggart, will you accept an offer for the vacant head coaching position at Cal?” \

Taggart: “Yes, I’d be honored.”

If only…sigh…

Covina and Juancho, checked on McI’s cv. Impressive. esp like he coached under the big tuna – another example of hc’s physique and w/l having zero correlation. imo, having hc experience makes him more a better pick that j wilcox. like h jackson and mooch. you know gruden is #1 on every D1 school and nfl team looking for a new hc.

so caught first qt of $c/utah. (lame k is a petulant bitch who has lost the la media.) NOT to feed moron but I really liked the way bark encouraged his teammates on the sideline, the way a leader should. don’t see zm ever showing such leadership – but I guess we can hope. actually I’d rather see jt do the sane thing and play someone else at qb, bridge/hinder/boehm. (gotta save zk’s redshirt for next hc.)

re: moron. It revels in hate and anger. the more hateful and angry, the better. why you expect a lonely freak that is a sociopath with dissociative pathology to exhibit honor, logic, or consistency is its own statement. greasemonkey. Please.

I’m all in favor of a year-end resignation/removal, but if we don’t show up Saturday, I’ll be writing Sandy for sure.

Those who are adamant in demanding that JT be fired should be mailing the AD on a daily basis telling her so. And if you are an alum, a donor or a season ticket holder, your emails should identify you as such.

Macintyre’s dad was the coach at Vandy during my time there in law s a chool. He was the ncaa coach of the year in 1982. Mike ended up starting at safety one year. He was small and slow and was described in the scouting magazines as “heady” mike macintyre. He returned punts, but rarely did anything more than fair catch, even with lots of daylight. One night I got rounded up to play an intramural bb game against him and some fb players. I had just taken a couple bong hits and beers. I guarded Mike 1on1 and had trouble keeping up with him. From what I have heard he’d make a very good c. oach for Cal. He transferred to GaTech after his dad got fired and did not play much. He has experience in programs that have higher academic standards than most.

No way Petrino or any other possible NCAA cheat comes to Cal. The cost of a dozen compliance officers offsets any benefit.

I’m a “No” on Bobby Petrino, but how about Jim Tressel? The guy can recruit, has a system that actually works and he obviously cares about winning.

Agree with Dan about the other coaches out there. Wasn’t Justin Wilcox the offensive coordinator at Boise State that called those three consecutive plays to beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl? Hire him for that reason alone. Titanium kahunas! Chris Petersen, Mike McIntyre, Greg Roman, anyone else please!
