the monster's rankings of offensive coordinator candidates:

1) scott huff (39 years old, $708,000): best person on planet earth to recruit & develop cal's monster offensive line

2) brennan marion (35 years old, $400,000): go go innovator, would coach wilcox's head explode?

3) ryan gunderson (36 years old, $400,000): charismatic recruiter, passing game innovator at sjsu before becoming ucla qb coach

4) gj kinne (34 years old, $1,000,000+ at texas state): great interview with coach wilcox, rising superstar, new head coach at texas state

there are a lot of balls in the air & fierce bidding wars being fought that are led by athletic directors that are 100% focused on winning football programs

not gonna name names (so need to censor this post) but there has been a fake news insiders rumour the last couple days that cal "got enough money" for the offensive coordinator hire, that is absolutely & unequivocally not true at this exact moment

james arthur knowlton is not all in with the cal football program which means he wants the coaching dollar funds to primarily come from donors as opposed to using department funds that he would rather allocate/misspend on sports that very few people give a **** about

just to make this very clear our con artist athletic director jimmy "shell game" k is tryna make critical hires on the cheap while he build out his quidditch facility

the nation's best athletic directors at p5 schools ask the head football coach, "who is your top target for the offensive coordinator position & how much money do we need to spend?" in their quest to secure elite coaching talent in the next 5 minutes

---

uk clash, this **** is changing by the minute:

favorite: brennan marion (35 years old, $400,000), the tulsa grad just got passed over an hour ago for the hurricanes head coach position in favor of the ohio state offensive coordinator kevin wilson

emerging dark horse: jake spavital (37 years old, $800,000), the former texas state head coach coached up davis webb to the national football league in an offense that showcases wide receiver talents

notice all the ages of the candidates, the next offensive coordinator is gonna bring a much needed infusion of energy & innovation to the cal offense

unless james arthur knowlton continues to **** this up with his misreading the room preference for paying gymnastic, field hockey & quidditch coaches top dollars instead while citing title ix & office of civil rights propaganda

Give me Marion and Huff

Absolutely. Great tandem to hire. Knowlton may not want to spend the money and is trying to savie his nickels.

Invest in this damn program already

tequila, brennan is pretty far out of coach wilcox's safety zone & there's no doubt justin got creeping conservatism on gamedays

this is yet another example of where employing a clueless athletic director that is not in a position to mentor justin re: building a staff has negative consequences...our current athletic director could probably not name 5 non cal assistant football coaches in the united states of america

and that's why the con artist used an expensive search firm to hire the broken down sorry azz fox instead of consulting with free consultants like j kidd, shareef abdur rahim, jaylen brown, lamond murray & sean marks

i remember meeting knowlton for the 1st time back in the day at the oregon state football game in corvallis (a spectacular victory) & telling him my story of getting terminated as a floor seat basketball donor that had attended 150+ home & away games in a row as part of my duties for cal's monster class which at 5,000,000+ views still remains today the most read thread in the history of college basketball

anyways told jim the details of my departure which involved the unethical sharing of an email i sent to someone who i trusted re: the details of wyking jones getting blackballed by the aau powerhouse las vegas stars which wuz gonna hurt us in recruitment of duke transfer/mcdondalds all american chase jeter (3.8 gpa, moms a high school teacher, ideal cal fit that would start playing 30 mpg from day 1)

remember vividly knowlton's total blank look when i mentioned the las vegas stars, it took me a minute to figure it out, but then it clicked, he had no idea who were the las vegas stars...it's unlikely that there's a single d1 athletic director in the united states that's never heard of the las vegas stars, compton magic, oakland soldiers, etc.

my clueless daughter taylor (who has attended 100+ bears games) knows more about the inner workings of college basketball that james arthur knowlton

and that's why the major donors need to communicate to the benevolent chancellor christ (who has done more for cal athletics than any chancellor in the modern era) that they are done supporting the university until knowlton is gone

that will clear the way for former pasatiempo high school quarterback andrew mccraw (who is supported by every donor i've talked/communicated too) to be appointed the next athletic director who after 26 years in the department knows the dead zones & will be qualified to make the hard decisions in cutting programs on day 1 at 7:17 am to protect the department from bankruptcy once the current almost $30,000,000 departmental subsidy is likely discontinued by the next chancellor in berkeley

As to why not Brennan Marion,,, (not shocky, obviously, but... )
- no connections to Wilcox or his home turf (Pacific NW)
- "go-go" offense too "radical" for JW
- has been steadily moving up the ranks, but no solid 2-3 years as an OC in any one place
- maybe we want an OC that is also QB coach, but Marion is more of a WR guy
- maybe we sent out feelers and he's not interested, for whatever reason

EDIT: Shocky1 is quick on the draw and beat me to it!

this sounds great, but we're gonna need a draw to bring O Line transfers in right now. I don't think we have that draw, at least from the perspective of another P5 school. Maybe we get some transfers from the Mountain West or something.
He has great targets to throw to and one of the best young backs in the nation, But the O Line as it stands is simply not going to cut it. Honestly I'm amazed at how well he did with what he had to work with up front.

Did you see the play calling change and 0 sacks v. UCLA? What do you see? UC that play calling/scheme can overcome o line issues.

Shocky is a legend and a treasure

The key change began with the Big Game. It was impressing upon Plummer the need to get the ball out quickly, and perhaps not calling any slow-developing dropback pass plays..

Whether Plummer counted to 3 in his head and made sure the ball was gone before he got to 3, or some other technique, it worked and, in the final two games, he threw nearly every pass within 3 seconds. The result was one sack for Stanford and none for UCLA.

But that's a temporary fix. Unless the offense goes full Leach next year, our Bears have to have much better O-line play on both runs and pass plays. The quick passing can only help so much before opponents adjust (again, unless there's a shift to a Leach-style, five receivers out in the flat and no tight ends), and the running game still will be limited by the O-line. Can't expect to have a solid, dependable offense over the course of a full season with the 12th-best O-line in the conference.

saga of carson mott: the edge defender in the 2023 class unofficially visited berkeley & loved it which caused him to commit to the bears, nobody on the staff sent out the customary celebration tweets which kinda surprised some fans

the next week coach so'oto traveled down to so cal & privately explained to carson the difference between a conditional offer (which is what he got) & an actionable offer

so he decommited from cal to save face, then accepted an actionable offer from colorado

happy ending, right?

not so fast, the buffs staff got fired & today coach deion pulled more than a half a dozen offers from guys including mott

yeah carson mott just can't get a break, will be rooting for this rescue mutt to find a home

This is Everest. He swears he didn't see that puddle there. It came out of absolutely nowhere. Was splashing around in it out of pure surprise. 12/10 pic.twitter.com/qsNlHFf1AW

cal's monster offensive line recruiting update:

Incredibly grateful for the experiences and people at Nevada these last three years. With two years of eligibility left I will be entering the transfer portal officially on Monday, Dec 5th pic.twitter.com/aRWw8GZjKm

— Grant (@grantstarck) December 2, 2022

coach saffell has offered mobile 6'5" 292 grant starck from nevada after starting all 12 games last season at left tackle allowing just 3 sacks in 859 snaps (484 pass blocking snaps)

grant got 2 years to play 2 years & wuz a standout basketball player at thurston high school in springfield oregon where head coach homer simpson got him a nil deal for voodoo donuts which in retrospect wuz a mistake cuz they taste like cardboard

unlike this season's bears tackles, starck has proven that he can successfully play in space
