This is largely due to his personality/character flaws -- namely his introversion, lack of charisma/personality, conservative nature and reluctance to take risks, lack of creativity, stubborness, etc. <br /><br />While he might do great as an assistant, like he was at Oregon as Bellotti's OC, he just does not thrive in the head coaching position. He's like Cal's version of Tyrone Willingham. Hopefully, Cal can find and lure a better candidate in the future after Tedford's reign mercifully ends eventually,

Absolutely no chance. Tedford is too stubborn and he feels absolutely no pressure to his job if Maynard continues to struggle in his senior year. Like it or not, we're forced to live with a woefully inadequate QB in Maynard next season.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">dupdadee;661071 said:</div><hr>If Kline is really as good as he appears to be and can pick up the playbook fast, I think him starting out as a 2nd-string is definitely possible. Tedford won't start a true frosh over an experienced, senior QB to start the 2012 season, but if Kline is out-of-this-world phenom, then I can see Tedford easing him into a starting role after a couple of games like how he did with Aaron Rodgers in 2003.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />If you're going to ease him in, then why burn his redshirt midway through a season? If he really is the second coming of AR then start him. If not, then Maynard or one of the other 4 QBs should get the job next year.

Well, the argument is that if you don't ease him in, then it sets him up to fail, and then he has to come back from all of that. The scenario would be-Maynard is so so for the first half, and then Kline salvages the season. The other side of this, probably more to your point-can they keep the playbook simple, let him start, and expand the plays as they go? He would have to have the coaching staff believing that in the medium to long run, he would be the better QB.
