and you had his ear for 10 mins this week ? ... no smart answers seriously .. something simple.. ?

what really happened with Tosh?
and do you have the assistant coaches that you really want?

Why are all the other qb's not ready to play. They were high talents. Why are they not coached up better than a trnsfer from Buffalo?

First of all, I would invite him for a beer. I don't hate the guy. Honestly.

Then I would offer the following suggestions --


- if a player gets in trouble, have him help clean up Telegraph Avenue in Cal Gear (the nice grey sweatsuits, etc). You know, Constructive Punishment. Nothing public as in sitting out a Quarter or a game (unless mandated by the NCAA, then go ahead). That crap backfired.

- junk the White Helmets, white pants, even white socks. Just go with Blue and Gold everything. (White jerseys are mandatory for road games of course). Keep it simple in the locker-room until we get our act together on the field.

- find someway to get to Oregon's level of conditioning, I don't care if you have to hire Randy Couture and buy all his DVDs.

- instill a "dropsy" rule much like the "fumble rule": if you drop a pass, you'll get replaced next series, no exceptions.

- let the whole staff start wearing blue jeans on the sidelines. Get Levis to sponsor Cal. If you're gonna go down with the ship, might as well go down looking like blue-collar construction workers or Cowboys riding off into the sunset.

- edit Try to tone down the in-game celebration stuff going on. No post-tackle celebrations by the D, no post-completion celebrations by the QB, no in-game whooping it up at all. Play like Ninja Assassins and let the SCOREBOARD do the talking for you.

- ask him to pay for our beer. "Hook me up, playa! I know you gettin' paid!"

I would thank him for what he has done.


Everything else is mostly inconsequential.

Can you lend a brother some scratch?

I would ask him, "what the **** happened to you?"

Invest in my new LBO fund. We're taking cal football private and outsourcing the offensive scheme and practice regimen to Chip Kelly.

at the sack lol cant blame either of you ... im partial to what is going to fix it NOW!!!!!!!!!!! change it all ... change it up


PLEASE STOP OVER THINKING SHHH LET THE PLAYERS PLAY DONT STAND IN THE WAY OF THE TALENT ..YOU TANK THIS YEAR AND RECRUITING WILL BE VERY MUCH SHOT TO ****

DO YOU HAVE A MOTIVATIONAL PRE GAME SPEAKER ?

"Why the long face?"

What's the deal on the pH of the bottled water?

Hopefully, his house has a Kangen filter system (I actually have it and I believe it works).

"You were a star! What happened!?!?"

I would wish him good luck, to get rid of the white helmets, and go bears.

You can no longer get our players to use maximum expenditure of bodily fuels to protect our domicile.

I'd thank him for the run he has had and ask him to resign for the good of the players and the program.

Bullsh-t.

This, and I would add that he should resign, as opposed to waiting to get fired, because he would forever be in the good graces of the Cal community as, not only the resurrector of the program, but some one who deeply and genuinely cared for the program. If he waits long and takes a big severance, his 11+ years would have been wasted, and he would go down as a villain.

I'd say to him, "my cousin is a 3rd string player on a losing high school football team, but he's got a ton of potential! Look up his highlights on youtube. You'd better recruit him!"

They already do. Have for a long time 😜
Agree with your post.

I'd ask him who decorated his house?

I would be happy to have met him and then probably go about my business.

I talked to him a couple of seconds at the recruit signing party at the Claremont. I told him I was a BearInsider, but, no, I was not DrunkOski. He laughed as if he was full aware who DO was. LOL

I wonder then if he knows that all sunshine pumpers here can now be categorized as different classes of negabears?

If you are reading this coach Tedford...be wild and fun. Take chances and coach like it was your last year here. Make it a party! Play different players. Coach like the good ol' days and smile and laugh...

I would politely ask him to go find the ditch where he burried his nut sack, grab it, re-attach it, and begin using it again. Or to go back into his contract and negotiate a buy-out clause.

I'd thank him for everything he's done for the program, and wish him luck for the next game.

First, I'd like to preface this post by saying I probably wouldn't say anything to him. Just like he wouldn't tell me how to do my job, I'm not going to tell him how to do his job. But being a 'fan discussion board ONLY'.. and for entertainment purposes, I'll bite.

I feel fairly confident that the type of person Tedford is, he's already doing everything he can as a HC to put a winning product on the field and to maintain the integrity of the program.

I'm of the belief that Tedford's problems are much simpler than what we make out of it.

These would be my only suggestions for Tedford...

1. Getting back to the basics (For Tedford that means 'Power Run Game', 'Smash Mouth Football'. Push those smaller, weakly teams around.

2. Have very fast pace, high tempo practices. Station to station, highly competitive environment.

3. And for Godsakes, go put your jogging suit on and run around with players. Teach them how fun the game of football is. 95% positive, with 5% constructive criticism.


These are simple things, but that's the point. Tedford is so deep into his game planning and structure, I think loosening up (but expecting alot of the players) and having fun is what's going to turn this program around.

Anything else would be like running into Roger Federer and trying to counsel him on his forehand breakdown at the US Open, for wont of another example.....or how about Joe Biden and asking him to stop saying, "Osama Bin Laden is Dead and GM is alive!" Something like that!

^This.

Also - what flavored gum do you chew? :tedford

If I had 10 minutes with JT...first i'd ask him if he had a job for me. hah. Secondly..I'd ask him if he could pick 6 runs and 6 passes what would he pick...then I'd say..ok lets do that. We'll add more as we become more proficient at runnning those. You can run those plays out of every formation that we run.
