Coach Andy Buh from Escondido.

It's for real. I haven't been this excited about our team's prospects for years. Makes the season tickets, plus donation, seem well worth it. I buy lottery tickets for the dream. Same here.

Good pick. Young, competent and good recruiter.

Avid T Tech fans say he is not just a good recruiter- he's a great recruiter. Also said to be great assistant offensive coach (other areas).

Go Tech- beat Minnesota on Friday!

A huge upgrade from what we've had as OL coach for the past few years!

Disagree actually, Coach M is a great Oline coach..but the program needed a new direction.

He used to be before he left to become Sark's offensive coordinator. Since his return to Berkeley, he has been terrible.

Great Hire!!!! He needs to speak to Hunt and Cochran ASAP!

Who knows if he was terrible or we recruited a cycle of poor o-line talent as well as low o-line numbers. That Dykes said we're short like 10 o-linemen for depth was pretty telling. I also realize that Coach Michalczik was part of the inadequate recruiting although I think our scapegoat (whether warranted or not) is Coach Marshall for beginning the era of poor o-line play.
