Both Ron Gould and Tosh bring in top talent every year, AND coach them up. The Cal RB unit and Cal D line unit have been consistently the strength of the team for several/many years. They also put players in the NFL, and their players just rave about them.<br /><br />I wouldn't trade either of these coaches for ANY coaches in America.

I spoke with an acquaintance yesterday who was pumped that Foster was coming to Cal. He knows the dad and his comments were that it currently is between Cal, Stanford, and USC. He indicated Fosters mom lives in the East Bay or thereabouts and that Foster had previously lived in Oakland. He had been set to go to ASU before the coaching change. He also indicated that the dad wants him to go to Auburn, to which I retorted, "yeah, because it probably pays better". Some schools are recruiting him for DB, but he wants to be a RB. I hadn't heard much about this recruit on our board, but his offer list is pretty impressive. Hopefully he will have a good visit this weekend.

Not surprising.

What a shocker.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">LethalFang;650251 said:</div><hr>I'd totally trade both of them for Jim Harbaugh.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />You've got to be kidding me. Not only is this apples to oranges comparison, this wasn't even the topic in the thread.

Throw Coach M in there, too. All 3 are excellent, and have proven that.<br /><br /><blockquote><div class="name-said">Quote:</div><hr>I'd totally trade both of them for Jim Harbaugh.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />Meh. Tedford had his moment in the sun early in his coaching career where Harbaugh is now, too. Sustaining that success seems to be harder. And would you want your coach leaving in 2-3 years?

<blockquote><div class="name-said">LethalFang;650251 said:</div><hr>I'd totally trade both of them for Jim Harbaugh.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />I don't know if Harbaugh would be any good at coaching defensive linemen, but that's just me.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">drunkoski;650434 said:</div><hr>you seriously think tedford would have the 49ers close to first round playoff bye?<hr></blockquote><br /><br />Well, I'm not particularly interested in discussing the 49ers. The more relevant question is whether he would be successful at Cal, maintain that success over a long period, AND stick around at Cal long-term. I would suggest the evidence points to "no" if the option of an NFL payday presents itself...

<blockquote><div class="name-said">HoopDreams;650070 said:</div><hr>Both Ron Gould and Tosh bring in top talent every year, AND coach them up. <b>The Cal RB unit and Cal D line unit have been consistently the strength of the team for several/many years.</b> They also put players in the NFL, and their players just rave about them.<br /><br />I wouldn't trade either of these coaches for ANY coaches in America.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />Not to undermine the value of the two coaches you praise, but I believe that LB has been the "strength of the team for several/many years."

<blockquote><div class="name-said">drunkoski;650434 said:</div><hr>you seriously think tedford would have the 49ers close to first round playoff bye?<hr></blockquote><br /><br />and you seriously don't? dude, its so easy to play this hypothetical what if game ... after 2005, every team would have given their left arm for JT

<blockquote><div class="name-said">southseasbear;650455 said:</div><hr>Not to undermine the value of the two coaches you praise, but I believe that LB has been the "strength of the team for several/many years."<hr></blockquote><br />In terms of recent recruiting and NFL drafting I gotta look at DL as outperforming LB ever since Follett/Williams/Felder left.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">drunkoski;650472 said:</div><hr>after 2005? i very much doubt it. i'd think a guy who could take the 49ers and alex smith to the playoffs could manage to win over 50% of his pac-12 games over the past 5 years. i'm just going to go out on a huge limb here. . .<hr></blockquote><br /><br />So predictable. You turn a thread about asst. coaches into Tedford vs. Harbaugh. Isn't it time to wash your hands, check the locks, and make sure the iron and oven are off?

<blockquote><div class="name-said">StillNoStanfurdium;650478 said:</div><hr>In terms of recent recruiting and NFL drafting I gotta look at DL as outperforming LB ever since Follett/Williams/Felder left.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />Thompson actually is the recruiting coordinator and last couple years has had amazing recruiting classes. We switched to a 3/4 because we had our best athletes at linebacker, and the linebacker play has been stellar. The dline had a great year, but Hendricks still was Pac 12 POY. That said, we essentialy played a four man front against Furd and ASU due to LB injuries and strong dline play this year, a reflection of good coaching and recruiting by Tosh as well. They are both terrific coaches. <br /><br />While I think Gould is the best offensive assistant, the other two assistants are above average. Coach M is a great teacher, and Coach K has made a major upgrade to the WR corp, and is an excellent recruiter, as will become evident quite soon.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">StillNoStanfurdium;650478 said:</div><hr>In terms of recent recruiting and NFL drafting I gotta look at DL as outperforming LB ever since Follett/Williams/Felder left.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />The original quote and my response were not referring to "recent" years but to "several/many years," which includes the Follett/Williams/Felder era.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">drunkoski;650485 said:</div><hr>actually btur turned into a tedford vs harbaugh thread. your reading comprehension blows.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />false. lethalfang brought in harbaugh. your reading comprehension blows harder.

I just wish we had one of the top teams in the nation.<br /><br />Go Bears<br /><br />Go Rugby

I'm pretty impressed with Kiesau and to some degree Arroyo as<br />well as the 3 previously mentioned. I would also say Pendergast,<br />except I'm not 100% convinced yet that his scheme doesn't get<br />too easily exploited by good offensive coaches like Kelly and Sarkisian.

Due to Smart winning the award last year....?<br /><br />Also interesting, Georgia DC Todd Grantham wasn't a semi-finalist.
