Damn. I wish I saw your post before I stole it and put it on the Golden Nuggets thread.

I blame Alamar for this mistake. Him and Longshore.

That’s great for Cal, and hopefully the search for a new special teams/TE coach will be efficient. At the same time, I wish Alamar godspeed and thanks for his efforts; unemployment isn’t fun, and hopefully he’ll catch on with someone else.

poor guy. it sucks to be jobless in this economy. i think he can be successful at a division 2 level. best of luck to him in his job search

Indeed. We won’t have Pete Alamar to kick around any more.

Good luck to Alamar, I hope USC hires him

No seriously, I do hope he lands on his feet. Being unemployed is never an easy or fun thing and I am sure he has a family to provide for and take of.

I would like to thank Alamar for all the hard work he put in, regardless of the results on the field I am certain he tried his best to fix the special teams and make each one of those kids a better player and person. In the end, it just didn’t work out and was time for both Cal and Alamar to move on in a different direction. No more hard feelings about that UCLA game back in 05.

by SDBear on Dec 28, 2009 6:26 PM PST reply actions  

Really Alamar wasn't the only reason for the failures this season

I don’t really expect anymore coaches getting fired. The three biggest heads that Cal fans would love to see roll, in no particular order: Marshall, Ludwig, and Gregory probably aren’t going anywhere.

Maybe another position coach or two, the LB’s (who is the LB coach, does Gregory double as both LB coach and DC?) and WR’s coach may get fired but beyond that I would not expect much more movement in the coaching ranks.

Why does Kenwick Thompson deserve to be fired?

Praise be to Tedford!

by Ohio Bear on Dec 28, 2009 8:39 PM PST up reply actions  

I am not advocating his firing I am just saying if any heads are going to roll it will be

a position coach. The defense did struggle this year and the LB’s were one of the major reasons for that. The LB’s never really progressed (besides MM) throughout the season and often times they had poor tackling form/technique which resulted in missed tackles. Beyond that, most of the LB’s (besides MM) were terrible in coverage and often caught out of position.

I noticed that our former WR coach Dan Ferrigno is now ST coach at SDSU. I wonder if Ferrigno was helping out with ST during his time here and his departure a couple years back had left Alamar in charge of ST by himself, thereby further diminishing the special team’s performance.

Ferrigno was Cal’s special teams coach during the Holmoe era.

Praise be to Tedford!

by Ohio Bear on Dec 29, 2009 7:50 AM PST up reply actions  

This is pretty huge. In a sick, twisted way this season was not a waste if it’s what it took for Alamar and Cal Football to finally part ways.

Giving our opponents a green light to score each kickoff was something like, “hey, get 25 yds and i’ll let you in field goal range.” Instead, teams opted to score TD’s against us.

by nickle on Dec 28, 2009 8:08 PM PST reply actions  

I’m glad Alamar is gone. In past years, complaints about special teams have just seemed like whining. But this time, special teams was terrible and this was the first year I thought Alamar should be fired. Thanks for changing your non-firing ways, Tedford.

by paleodan on Dec 28, 2009 8:30 PM PST reply actions  

We need to replace him with a coach whose name is as easy to yell in agony.

by CalBandGreat on Dec 28, 2009 11:05 PM PST up reply actions  

yeah, but...

I think being a Cal fan is about expecting/hoping for the best, and then being able to deal with the almost inevitable disappointment that ensues. It’s not about giving into the disappointment from the start by having diminished expectations.

So… We’re going to get an awesome special teams coach. And, next year is our year. :)
