SJSU fires Caragher after 4 years and 19-30 record

BearsWiin

which is exactly the same record as Sonny Dykes has had at Cal over the same period.

SJSU gets it, Cal doesn't.

SJSU has been a better football school than Cal since 1999.

During the Willingham years it was the best program in NorCal

I still don't understand why Cal didn't go after MacIntyre considering he was right down the road.

Now you understand why Cal Football has never been relevant.

SurrenderSonny and Hallelujah were pretty much the two finalists for the job. He supposedly bombed the interview, and they didn't think he'd be a good fit.

(Since they'd just sunk $462M into facilities and a stadium rebuild, the Cal folks in charge of the decision felt that they had to go after established and successful HCs who could make a splash instead of going for some lesser-known hot up&coming coordinator ready to make the jump to HC like Tedford had been)

MacIntyre saved his job by hiring the DC he did.

CU is not built for the long haul.

Yes, Leavitt definitely helped Mac save his job. As far as not being built for the long haul, I guess that depends how you define that.

Defense definitely loses a bit next year with Tupou, Awuzie and Thompson graduating. We also lose Witherspoon, Olugbode, Carrell and Kafovalu although those guys are much more replaceable. Looks like McCartney comes back after getting a med red and as the year has gone on, the backups in most of those positions (Julmisse, Fisher, Oliver especially) have looked quite good with the exception of at DT. We are in on some JC DT recruits so next season's defense may very well hinge on that. A step back for sure, but how big of one remains to be seen.

On the offensive side of the ball, we return basically everyone except Liufau and our center. While Liufau was better than Montez this year because he makes better decisions, Montez has a lot more upside in that he has a stronger, more accurate arm and is probably faster than Liufau too. With nearly everyone else returning on the offensive side of the ball, I expect a significantly improved offense.

I also expect improved special teams as the team builds more depth and gets better young recruits action on ST.

I'm thinking we are an 8-4 type team next year, but one that could easily win 10 games again or go 6-6. I expect 2018 to be an improvement on 2017 looking down the depth chart. So again, depends how you define being built for the long haul. It's certainly not a team that's going back to 4-8 next year.

Sounds like either way it will be interesting.

This makes you look like a real CU fan, WTF? Or is this a cut and past from someone on Allbuffs?

@BuffBuffPass is unfortunately real. I led him to this cesspool.

My two dads got it for me for Kwanzaa right before they got divorced. That FitBit was more than just a pedometer to me; it was a symbol of their love that has now been forever lost.

Hurtful. No need to lash out just because your team hired the wrong coach.
