Still say he would be great, lives in the bay and what recruit would not want to be coached by the greatest of all time, get it done Tedford!

The same thought occurred to me. It would be quite a coup. And a great hire.

The **** you guys come up with, seriously...

His son goes to UCLA, I sincerely doubt he goes somewhere and coaches against his son.

Bring Jerry in and give the big middle finger to Tosh, Kiesau, Sark and all the other fucktards.

Henry was never at home and didn't really know his son. I hear they patched things up when Mike was in the NBA, but that was well after they were on opposite benches in the Pac-10.

Most important qualities for being a coach at Cal according to many who post on this site.<br /><br />1. Having played at Cal <br />2. Having gone to Cal<br />3. Living in the Bay Area<br />4. Establishing a Big name in Football but no experience or interest in coaching.<br /><br />The thing i like about this criteria is that it should be easy to fill coaching vacancies.<br /><br />The really great thing about this criteria is that when we do hire a coach we can count on loyalty from the person.<br /><br />Just thought of a guy who fills 3 of the 4 categories and also has experience as an actual coach<br /><br />Tosh Lupoi! Oh wait!

one of the best offensive coaches in the biz lost his job yesterday: Ron Turner of the Colts.<br />(he was the WR coach)....deep Bay Area roots....

It also adds stability to have guys with <i>some </i>loyalty to Cal, likely have family in the area, and guys that know what housing prices are like in the Bay Area and think it is worth it (versus a mansion in Alabama, say). I don't think it is a requirement by any means, but I think it is smart to include Cal alums on the search list and to consider some of the benefits they bring. I also like that we give our own opportunities to get into the business. Having lots of coaches in the business with Cal ties is a good thing. Makes it more attractive to play for Cal if you have in the back of your mind coaching as an option. <br /><br />When it comes to a job like OC, I just want the smartest guy we can find, no matter the school they are from (but a lot of smart guys do come from Cal).

Hopefully he doesn't require as much as the legendary Eric Kiesau.

Geoff McArthur for WR Coach!<br /><br />Bring back the Bear!
