So you wouldn't want Dykes to hire a great assistant/recruiter from UW, Stanford, UCLA even though it could bomb their recruiting class?

no im saying that he hired tosh and then subsequently tosh proved to be a scumbag. birds of a feather, flock together. sorry if i dont hold the coach that hired benedict tosh in the highest regard

He hired Tosh two weeks before LOI day and made a deal with Tosh to pay him a bonus for every 4 and 5 star player he could poach, then Tosh used Cal's last in home with our top committed recruit the night before he jumped on plane to accept the job at UW leaving Tedford waiting at the airport. Tosh spent the rest of the recruiting period bad mouthing Cal more than selling UW--with the result that many of our commits jumped to Oregon and UCLA.

I understand the vitriol toward Tosh by Cal fans, but I've never heard anything about Sark paying a bonus for Tosh poaching players before Tosh was even hired by UW. Doubtful Sark could even offer it unless he was paying for it out of his own kick. Are you making this stuff up?

Even this very pro-UW report says that Sark had carte-blanche at UW for what he could offer: LINK

The reports were that Sark offered Tosh a bonus for landing 4 and 5 star recruits, not specifying where he got them, but in the week before LOI day, where is Tosh going to get them from?

to$h is now a staff member at Bama, NOT a coach, probably on commission but easily discarded if he gets caught again making "unauthorized" payments to players or their familes. to$h is tra$h. Even $ark wouldn't retain to$h.

I just hope Sark gets the full karmic arse-kicking he has coming. Having it happen at SC would be all the more beautiful.

Which reports? Tosh may be a scumbag, but his move to UW seems like a simple salary upgrade that Cal chose not to match.

Racist or not...the U$C football program is in disarray and confusion. It's all that bad karma paying back!

Might want to wait and see what their team does between "the white lines," before proclaiming such; it would have a lot more credence if we beat them in November....
