Best halftime adjustment for a Cal football team in years.

Rolo, Gregory, McCann have more experience as coordinators.

I'm just disappointed in Tosh's response post game. He thinks the offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator were great and no adjustments need to be made. Makes me doubt Tosh as a head coach.

As I'm sure you know, what they say to the media may or may not represent their true thoughts and what they're going to be saying to the players this week. Seemed like he thought he should be projecting positivity to the public at large.

Also worth noting that Coach Lup seems like a better one-on-one communicator than he is a public speaker. I wouldn't even say his post-game statements were "coach speak". More like gobbledygook.

OMF-ing GOD!

Not good. At all. He's in fantasy land and/or totally delusional. Denial is a river he's floating on, sipping a Margarita!

What would a good coach say after that debacle?

  • Coach Saban would probably be pissed and say they played like crap and they won't win another game during the season if it's not fixed.
  • Saban and good coaches would never say things are great and no adjustments need to be made.
Just a thought.

To the OP that's like saying your car runs great we just need a new transmission and set of breaks.


We got the "breaks" (110 yards in UCLA penalties), just not the "brakes" on their offense.

But to be serious, it is a touch early to give up on Tosh and the coaching staff. But it did seem curious that first time head coach brought in two first time coordinators. And the result certainly showed last night.


Yes of course I intended to type brakes. You think it is merely curious that a HC with no HC experience brought in a staff with little experience. And that combined, they clearly struggled. One game does not make a season but BC had his team ready to beat us on the road in the same amount of time. I think the headlines I'm reading today feature the word "blowout."

I really don't care what coaches say, frankly, but "Couldn't have asked for something better than this, an early sting to respond to..." as an opening statement was just...man. Something better to ask for would have been winning.

Well, pray for Tosh's improvement, folks. Because this is who we brung to the party and we're going have every dance with him for a long time. But hey, Madsen has improved - although some will argue that it's not at a fast enough trajectory. So, Tosh can as well. But yeah, Cal doesn't have three or four years for Tosh to figure it out, so improvement better come quick. It makes me wonder of Ron agreed to let Tosh hire an inexperienced OC and DC but insisted that Rolovich and Gregory also be hired to provide support.

Same ole Cal football, the whales lead us suffering idiots around by these bs "narratives" to hire empty suits. The Wilcox narrative for the return to defense wins championships and all the good ole boy connections and he just needs resources, which is now followed by the Tedford done me wrong it was always about talent Tosh not Tedford bs narrative. See you diehards in Syracuse.

Rhetorical jab at the "fanbase" or real question?
