Are you referencing Wilcox and DeRuyter in your last sentence? If so, what they have to do with Clemson's big win?NVBear78 said:
No way would a defense coached by Wilcox or DeRuyter get shredded like Alabama's did in the National Championship game. Tosh was exposed during that game and his career trajectory just took a nosedive.
Couldn't have happened to two more deserving fellows...
I have no idea why people think they're qualified to make this assessment, but I will point out the following:NVBear78 said:

It is not clear to me who made the defensive calls at Bama last year - but Golding was hired in December 2017 as "co-defensive coordinator" and Tosh was promoted in February 2018, dropping the "co" from his title. That suggests to me the "promotion" for Tosh was in name only, and done to justify a big salary raise.Quote:
Golding came to Tuscaloosa after coaching defensive backs and handling the defensive coordinator duties at the University of Texas-San Antonio the past two seasons.
...
Golding's 2017 defense ranked seventh in the Football Bowl Subdivision, allowing just 287.8 yards per game. The Roadrunners finished eighth in scoring defense (17.0 ppg), second in first downs defense (166) and 19th in pass efficiency defense (112.19). UTSA's improvement during Golding's tenure was evident, as the defense allowed 156 less yards per game and 16.8 less point per game in 2017 compared to 2015.
In his first season with the Roadrunners in 2016, he helped lead the program to six wins and its first bowl game the 2016 Gildan New Mexico Bowl. His defense set several school records, including single-season standards for tackles (934), tackles for loss (77), sacks (27) and quarterback hurries (38).

You're absolutely right. We carry the honor of being shredded by UCLA.NVBear78 said:

It has been 239 years since Benedict Arnold betrayed our country. People do not forget traitors.

I think he was being funny, but Labron aint Tosh, for the reasons you say. Labron also left a second time the right way.calumnus said:burritos said:I thought Cleveland took back Lebron.calumnus said:flounder said:

LeBron left Cleveland when his contract expired. He did nothing spiteful to Cleveland. He gave full effort while on their payroll. He did not throw games. He did not tell other players not to sign with them.
It was not that Tosh left Cal for more pay. He would not be the first, Cal alum or not. No one would begrudge him for that. It is that he actively recruited against us while still on our payroll, using up our limited permitted in home visits and blew up a Top 10 class. Telling our committed recruits to sign with anyone but Cal.
True but Cleveland fans burned his jerseys and the owner wrote an epic and angry farewell letter to Lebron in Comic Sans font. Cleveland is a special place.calumnus said:burritos said:I thought Cleveland took back Lebron.calumnus said:flounder said:

I hate Tosh, but Tua Tagailova is great ("overrated" is relative) and Tosh does get credit for pulling him from Hawaii (probably by continuing to pretend the name Lupoi is Samoan or a Tongan instead of Italian).
Yup, Italian. Here's an old article:calumnus said:killa22 said:

Quote:
The giant produce truck chugged along California State Route 24, six days a week for more than four decades, from Walnut Creek to the marina in Oakland now known as Jack London Square. Tony Lupoi rarely left his market later than 4 a.m., and, in the early days -- long before grandson Tosh arrived in 1981 -- Tony ran every red light along North Broadway on the way out of town.
The cops never stopped him. They knew Tony and his truck. The man was an East Bay icon, a Depression-era Italian immigrant who settled in Pittsburgh and sold newspapers as a kid before moving west.
