Tosh Is Gone

I am leaning towards keeping Tosh, but could pull a LIPO/ WDWHA rather quickly.

Food for thought:

Tosh turned Evan Hudson - a middling TE buried on the depth chart - into a serviceable DL in the last few weeks of fall camp.

Evan also improved from just occupying a blocker through the first half of the season, to actually applying pressure and making plays in the backfield the latter half of the season.

Imagine what he could do with talented DL's like Farris and Mathis after a few years.

Definitely agree Time on Tosh's potential under Petersen.

I don't get why some here bag on him. Shaq, Vatuvei, Mathis, Farria, Qualls are directly attributable to him. Four of those guys had SC offers and are from Cali. Thats in one full class and a shortened period. We aren't getting any of those guys without Tosh. And as others noted, the DL played better at the end of the year. His DL's were always good at Cal.

I don't know if he has the credentials for it but maybe they could make Tosh the recruiting coordinator, in addition to his position responsibility. From what Kim said and from the fact that he didn't just bolt for a better program tells you that he is genuine and cares about the kids he recruits and coaches. If he stays he'll probably be here for a while and would have a huge impact.

Absolutely. Tosh is known as one of the best recruiters in America. Every year the U.S. Army All-American game features recruits that specifically mention Tosh Lupoi. We need to keep him. His recruiting ability combined with Petersen's stability, organization, discipline and player development will be a powerful combination.

kimmy's piece says Tosh will stay "if there is a place for him"???? MAKE A DAMN PLACE FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!

This is Kim saying it. He doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about. Tosh isn't staying for a demotion. You can't just make a place for him. You have to give him what he wants. It might not be possible if Wilcox stays and the Boise DC agrees to be the DL coach. I doubt Tosh stays to be a special teams coach when he can go to USC, be the DL coach, and probably get a raise.

Wilcox's defense will be better this year with a coach who isn't constantly going 3 and out with the offense.

No truer words have been written, Cunt.
