Bush has one year left and no thank you to BenCallMeBigErn said:Just for shits and giggles, Baldwin made 650k this year and is at the end of his contract. Bush makes 750k and is at the end of his life. We could snag Baldwin in a heartbeat if we wanted him.

I do not expect Baldwin to remain with Cal after this year. I would not like to see him go to UW.

I assume you meant Beau. What's your hangup on him? No, he hasn't been great at Cal, but I'm just not sure that's his fault. Youth, shitty receivers, and injuries have pretty much neutered his offense, from what I can tell. I would think his foundation and arsenal would be much better at UW as long as Pete let him run the show. I wanted him when we hired Bush. I could very well be wrong though. I'm just getting Vernon Adams and Bo Mitchell flashbacks. His EWU offenses were lethal. Yes, big boy football is a different game.sonics1993 said:

IDGAF about replacing assistants. It’s always been bull shit. This cluster fuck starts at the top. If Jonathan Smith isn’t proof enough to know this is on Pete. Hire Urban or UW is done here.
-
Maybe Pete will retire. He seems to have lost the fire and passion to coach.
-
Here’s my fear. Pete May have lost the fire but he’s too proud and stubborn to go out this year. Instead, he’ll make some staff changes & hire a new OC but keep his system. He’s said so many times this year that the offense just needs to execute a little better. In Pete’s mind, the offense is only off by a touch and if he can fix that, he can go out on top after a great season.whlinder said:Maybe Pete will retire.

Sadly, our? offense sucks and is terribly predictable. Our? offense made 2 of the worst defenses in the PAC look great this year. -
Pete’s offense is meh at best, but it takes a special kinda stupid to spend the entire game running into run blitzes on first down. A special kind of stupid that even smurf didn’t do when he was OC. When even Rod Gilmore is calling you out it’s bad...
And to add insult to injury, I bet Brownsocks would have won that game going away because he would have audibled out of a lot of those FS calls.
And the problem is going to be if you can bring in an OC when most of the offensive staff is on 2 year deals...how many of his own guys is he going to want to bring in as assistants?
And I love me some Jimmy but I think everyone is going to look back after he moves on and think he’s a much better head coach than DC. -
Isn’t it kind of a paradox to say that Pete doesn’t have the passion for coaching but also cares enough to maintain his death-grip on the offense?
Pete’s not going anywhere, might as well attempt to rearrange the deck chairs...
Lake can walk if he wants, he takes up a huge amount of resources, DB recruiting is way below what it probably should be given the results from the past 4 years, the defensive scheme isn’t all that great, play was pretty poor this year.
Gregory should be fired, the LB play is some of the worst I’ve ever seen. It took 3/4 of the season to figure out that the walk-on was the best LB of the div3 LB group. Hire Cort Dennison because I’ve always had a soft spot for him and his beer gut.
Huff should be put on notice/probation, the recruiting is great, the OL play was bad...
Junior Adams should be put on notice/probation. If the WRs have the same problem next year drop his ass at the first bye. First year but if he is actually in charge of WR rotations like everyone claims he is a full retard. Continuing to play bacellia and fuller is so fucking irritating. At least Bynum looks decent and he has some good recruits.
Bush should be fired, he is getting paid way to much and has way too much talent to put up this shit offense. The only thing that saves the offense is hiring an established OC or former HC that will tell Pete to fuck off. It will cost money, use the left over money from Lake and pay someone, anyone. Fuck tell Pete to use part of his salary to get Tedford if he has to. Let the OC bring their own QB, WR, or RB coach if they want and figure out how to make room.

Two comments. First the offense. If Pete is not going to give up control then it is a waste of time and money to fire Hamdan. If he is willing to give up control I would immediately go to the staffs of both Oklahoma and LSU and look at whoever is immediately under their OC and consider them. They both probably have QB coaches who are indoctrinated into those highly successful offenses and possibly ready to make the step up to OC. I think that is a realistic approach and option.
Now the defense. I'm going against the grain here in saying I don't care if Jimmy Lake wants to go. His recruiting is good not great. There are some techniques that i see in his DB's that drive me up the wall so there's that. But mostly it's the defensive philosophy. Since he has become DC all the talk has been about DBU. I hate it. Great defenses are built from the front back not the reverse. I want to be front 7 U. Great front 7's can make a mediocre secondary look good but the opposite just doesn't work. Since Jimmy came in there's much more of a bendable defensive philosophy and I'm done with it. I'm 100% fine with Coach K coming back at DC and letting Harris coach DB's. If he hasn't picked up Jimmy's teachings by now then he can go to. -
Jimmy Lake will beat Cuog again Friday and talk shit. He'll become the board's darling once again.
Except he doesn't deserve it.
