Offensive Line Coaches: Who can we get?

by AERose on Nov 8, 2009 4:56 PM PST Comment 45 comments

It doesn't seem like Tedford's ever been terribly big on firing his assistants, but Marshall has faceplanted so spectacularly this year that he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. But that opens up a whole new question of who Cal should hire to replace him. I don't think that's a question anyone here can necessarily answer, but I'd like to see it discussed anyway.

For the sake of argument, a few names from the Pac-10/West Coast teams that could possibly be convinced to come to Cal (I think we're probably done with the NFL assistant experiment):

Steve Greatwood: Oregon. Has been with Oregon for a million years and has coached some great rushing and pass-protecting offenses. Worked with Tedford in 2000-2001 after returning from hiatus at other teams. Recently worked magic with a very green offensive line coming into this year. Probably doesn't want to leave Oregon after coaching there for, as noted, a million years.

Mike Cavanaugh: OSU. Has been on Mike Riley's staff for five years and blah blah blah we play them every year and most years they kick our ass. Finds diamonds in the rough, polishes them up, and turns them into monsters. Could be completely unstoppable with better recruits.

Coach M: Probably not getting him back, but wouldn't it be nice?

Derek Frazier: Fresno State. Ryan Mathews has 1,500 yards on 200 carries, he must be doing something right.

Scott Huff: Boise State's answer to Tosh Lupoi. Boise State's run game is more serviceable than incredible, but its pass protection has been consistently excellent these last few years.

In any case, this is shaping up to be an interesting offseason for the Bears, one way or another. Hopefully whatever decisions Tedford makes improve us as a team. Our offensive line, at least, can't get much worse.

The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

I really wonder if he’d be willing to come back. I don’t know why anyone would want to be part of that dysfunctional team.

I don’t need no love all I need is the DJ [2X]

[Baby Bash]
It was midnight, I got the bootie call,
She said I’m at the club,
So I threw on my draws

I’m lookin’ throwed in my ‘fit,
Candy coat on my whip,
The Popo’s all on my tip,
But man I don’t even trip

Sent me a dirty text,
So I text her back,
Scooped up the Stuey
Boy cuz he had them purple sacks

Now we gone with the wind,
Its on and poppin’ again,
We rebel rockin and rollin,
This club is outta c-, outta c-,ou-ou-ou-outta control!

She got me outta control,
She make me go crazy when she out on the on floor
She know the DJ,
He’s on Serato,
He date them models,
He crack them bottles!

[Chorus – Pitbull]
Everybody say fellas what do ladies like money money money!
Ladies what do fellas like that monkey monkey monkey!
Money, money,
Its outta control
She showed that monkey,
Whooo its outta control

[Baby Bash]
I’m double fistin’ now, under a strobe light,
Its lookin like a movie but its feelin so tight,
Now I got one in the cage and I got two on the stage,
I got a waitress on the under tryna’ give me some face

They play some Lil Wayne mixed with some T-Pain,
They matched the Journey record,
Now the dropped some Cold Play

And now they playin’ my song,
The girls they showin’ their thongs,
We rebel rockin and rollin,
This club is outta c-, outta c-,ou-ou-ou-outta control!

She got me outta control,
She make me go crazy when she out on the on floor
She know the DJ,
He’s on Serato,
He date them models,
He crack them bottles!

[Chorus – Pitbull]
Everybody say fellas what do ladies like money money money!
Ladies what do fellas like that monkey monkey monkey!
Money, money,
Its outta control
She showed that monkey,
Whooo its outta control

I dont need no love all I need is the DJ [4x]

Outta control she he got me outta control,
She make me go crazy when she out on the on floor
She know the DJ,
He’s on Serato,
He date them models,
He crack them bottles!

[Chorus – Pitbull]
Everybody say fellas what do ladies like money money money!
Ladies what do fellas like that monkey monkey monkey!
Money, money,
Its outta control
She showed that monkey, Whooo its outta control

Ehh ehh! its outta control! [4x]

I think if he were content to be just an offensive line coach at Cal, he would never have left. My sense that he felt he’d risen as far as he was going to in Berkeley, and if he wanted to advance his career, he was going to have to move on somewhere else. If that’s still the case, than going back and taking his old job would be about the worst thing he could do for his career — even taking a job with the Raiders suggests some sort of upward mobility, for as bad as they might be, it’s still an NFL job.

I very, very much doubt that Coach M would come back. I hope I’m wrong, but there it is.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

No, no need for a ruling. I’m right. We can just leave it at that.

There’s also the lesser known, yet still successful “Whoot, there it is!”

by LeonPowe on Nov 9, 2009 3:29 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

It is both "Whoomp!" and "Whoot!".

The single “Whoot! There It Is” was from 95 South, a Rap group from South Florida named after the highway that runs through the area. This song was a regional hit and gained some popularity, but it was the version by Tag Team called “Whoomp! There It Is” that became a break-out hit. Tag Team’s version was released about a month later, although a check at the US Copyright Office reveals that “Whoomp” was registered in 1992 and “Whoot” in 1993. According to Tag Team’s record label, Cecil Glenn from the group got the phrase from strippers in an Atlanta club where he worked.

So, when a stripper tells me “Whoomp, there it is!”, is she telling me what I think she’s telling me?

Presumably everything a stripper tells you is a gambit to get more money out of you, so… yes?

I couldn’t afford the platinum-covered diamond edition. I read something that you wrote on the back of a a dirty napkin you found on the ground – something about Tim Tebow, Zenu, and a glass of loganberry juice.

Was that that the same thing?

Two other candidates

Wait, I guess that’s only one candidate.

After failing to meat the Chief Justice’s monetary demands, I suppose an interesting candidate is former Stanfurd Oline Coach, ‘furd grad, and 9ers Olineman Chris Dalman. It would be interesting because a) he’s good at what he does, b) ‘furd couldn’t pay ‘em, and c) Cal could impose their will on ’furd for forever. Let’s not forget we have a ’furd grad as the head coach for your California Golden Bears Baseball Team (Esquerer).

Did I read somewhere on the Internetz that Jeremy Newberry was interested in coaching?

I think JNEW was (surprisingly) decent on the channel 5 post-mortum ’9ers dissection. Downright eloquent, for Antioch.

He was a little rocky at first, but it shaped up nicely.

On a serious note, I was surprised to see how polished JNew was….I took a class with him and all he could talk about was riding motorcycles and off-road vehicles…..yeehaw, I’m a redneck boy with big toys. He was really friendly and seemed like he enjoys life a lot.
