I wonder what happened there. He was on leave for a while. Now he resigns. If it is just a difference in vision with the AD, wouldn't he be an awesome fit here at Cal! I have a feeling it's a lot more serious though.

While he's gotten great results on the field, it looks like there's a lot of dirty laundry in his closet.

Suspended twice in 2019 and then he resigns while on his second suspension.

Also, read the comments at the end of this article:

We obviously can't verify if those comments are truly written by former players but he sounds like far too risky of a character to even think about hiring.

Yikes, there are some former players not happy with his coaching style. Sounds like he said she said. I am sure the truth is somewhere in the middle. I see many coaches with their favorites. Most teams carry 20-23 players. You can only satisfy less than 50% of the players. I cannot attest to any of it but sounds like a "hot potato". Cannot argue with his record though. If you want to win...

At least it sounds like he cares about results.

Unlike some coaches, who skate on by with no fear of being held accountable by their Athletic Department.

They have 8 players from Cali on the roster. Amazing.

This looks like complete travesty. A parent alleged inappropriate touching for not giving a scholarship money.

google: I can't seem to hyperlink on my phone.
