Just curious which coach would you pick:

Coach A turns a stagnant program around in a few years and his teams bursts into national prominence with a once-in-a-generation quarterback. With the program at the top of its game and a top 5 national rating leaves the program for the NFL. Coach A puts winning above all else, including modesty and sportsmanship.

Coach B does the same thing, but turns down the NFL and practically by his own will and threats to leave the program, gets an antiquated stadium and training facilities built during a severe recession. Coach B puts academics, sportsmanship, and building character ahead of winning.

I am guessing that many on this board would pick Harbaugh (A) over Tedford (B).

If life happened in a vaccum, this might have an answer.

Can you stop with this Tedford=Academics myth? Cal's regressing APR scores have shattered that myth.

Also, Tedford is being paid millions of dollars a year to do one thing. Win. Sportsmanship and building character? This isn't peewee football.

BTW, does this "sportsmanship" that Tedford is doing such a great job at teaching include pointing to your bicep and showing the other team up after you throw a touchdown, a la Maynard yesterday? Or is Tedford doing a poor job at teaching that, too?

We have a MAJOR basketball coach. JT isn't close. Find a football coach on his level.
