Bruce went to Cal?? Assuming for journalism? His bio say he did undergrad at Miami. No mention of Cal.

She called Feldman because he’s an alum and writes for SI. He’s a pretty big noise in college FB, with all due respect, Jeff. She’s probably thinking about good press for CAL down the road. And CAL can use it.

Steve W, the thing with Mac is that he gets US excited, the people that pay too much attention. If Sandy is hitting up boosters for a the money to get a big name guy as an investment for the program, it is not going to be a MacI or Dykes, it would be a Petersen type name on the hire end, a (my God, please don’t) Roman on the low end.

The name would have to be identifiable enough to sway the casual college fan. In Roman’s case, the argument would also be to lure Niner fans (and I have no faith at all that Roman is even on tenth a Harbaugh). My point is that any true “big name” rumors would mean a very big name to everyone, not just those that follow closely enough to know Mac’s potential.

I just can’t imagine Sandy talking to Feldman when she has not leaked anything, which I think may help her maintain some trust with candidates (coaches like to keep things quiet, too, unless they are using the interview for leverage – otherwise, if they don’t get hired, their current job gets bad mojo). So, I don’t know why she would do anything otherwise.

I’m like JF, can’t give up on Petersen until it’s over. After Sandy landed Monty, you have to believe anything is possible.

Sandy’s soliciting $ from boosters to bring in a big name, someone with Cal and/or west coast ties…..because a bit of $ now to land a big name will mean more $ in the long run, which will allow the school to sell more of the Preferred Seats and pay off the huge debt…the school, upgraded facilities, and stadium, existing talent on team…..it’s ripe for the picking….as far as west coast schools go, this is by far the best vacancy out there and it deserves an excellent coach to take it to the next level. Keep the faith.

Major bummer if MacIntyre is truly out of the picture. No one else gets me excited unless there is someone like Harbaugh coaching at an outpost like UC San Diego whom we know nothing about. Let’s face it folks, Cal ain’t paying Chris Petersen money with Tedford’s buy-out package soiling the payroll pool.

JF- any word on the headline on Rivals.com that says that SB has already made a decision?

JF: Thank you for going on offense on this. Much more aggresive than Tedford! Something tells me we are either going big with a shocking big name a la Gruden or Petersen or Sandy is trying to keep face after multiple rejections. Dykes just doesn’t feel right, so hopefully MacIntyre is playing poker. Go Bears!
