#100, Tedford already did the fire the assistants thing in 2008 and we are even worse now.

Maybe Tedfoed should re-read his book, “Talent Is Never Enough”

Only a moron would post that it is leaving for the year and then come back and post 4 more times on the same thread. Just shows what a total JUNKY this LOSER
really is. Doesn’t pastor ricardo have a detox program? If he does you should be running to enroll.

So Barkey won’t be playing against ND. Ready for another beat down, LOSER?

#92 SBear, couldn’t agree more. That one little snippet is an indication that Tedford is too decent of a person to be a great head coach. The PROGRAM is what is important. If the program succeeds, then a whole bunch of the players succeed and those who pay your salary get their moneys worth. There will always be a few kids who inadvertently get a raw deal. That’s called life. But for the most part kids will have a great experience and the success of the program will give them an opportunity to get to the next level. Focus on wins not development. The development is a foregone conclusion with time spent. Your job is to run a program that wins games. Period.

I’m just not buying any scenario where Tedford would fire most of his assistants and stay on as head coach. What kind of assistant coach would want to come to Tedford’s staff and get blamed for everything that goes wrong and ultimately get fired? The kind that just got fired in another program and desperately needs the job. If Tedford stays on, look for him to hire assistants from programs like Tennessee, Colorado, Kentucky and Auburn.

Woj great post.

Agree with the sentiment that we need to get those guys on the phone first. Before other programs do. Adding in willie “beaman” taggart.

Your point about the private world is what worries me about this delay. I just worry that this is a sign hes coming back.

This is utter nonsense! In the private sector the dead man walking doesn’t get to meet with his secretary, hang out in the office another day surfing the Internet, pal around with his coffee buddy, check the fantasy football friends seen in the cafeteria, and certainly not embark on the ‘next’ project not visit with the other people on the firing line, etc. In the private sector, the day you are let go is not filled with delays or indecision. The decision is already made and the terminated employee has a suprise meeting show up on the calendar, meeting happens soon after, a terse 1-sided chat ensues and 15 minutes later you are handed a packet with ‘call this # if you have questions’ and a financial statement of what you can expect as far as checks in the mail. Why on Earth did this not happen today with Tedfraud?? Answer – Because his ‘boss’ is his friend and pal and she wants to be his friend instead of rack up wins for Cal football. I;m convinced Barbour is a public union lackey who listens more to Adam Duritz versus negotiating effective contracts and certainly cannot dole out accountability to her direct reports, in this case = a Failed Football coach for last 5 years called Jeff Tedmoe. Stop the madness, terminate him and move on. And get Petrino’s and Petersen’s and McIntyre and Gruden’s #s tonight! Each second is precious. Cal has a 1 week lead on hiring a much better coach since a bunch of other schools are playing 1 more game. Cal’s only competition is Tennesse for a great new coach.

Bye Bye Moren! Brilliant move Barkley to come back for your senior year. Just like Leinart. What is it about USC QB’s who peak at their junior year but insist on coming back. For what? No BCS bowl game. No ranking. Nada.

Moren-
You’re not answering the question. How did UCLA’s a$$ taste? Beat Stanfurd and then come post on this site, dummy.
