2011 Cal Football Off-Season Thoughts
(1) Marshall moves on to Colorado. Not a complete surprise here. I was thinking that he had at least one more year to turn things around, but I wasn't discounting the possibility of him moving on or getting fired this year. Remember when Marshall was first hired there was a lot of skepticism...

Cal Football Coaching Changes: Kevin Daft (Wide Receivers), John Krasinski (Strength & Conditioning) Out
Yes, the official scuttlebutt is that our maligned wide receivers coach has been let go ($). (UPDATE: Here's an official release on Daft's departure). Daft has had a tumultuous few years as a Golden Bear--his receivers never seemed to improve, often regressed, and was one part of a multi-layered...

Washington 16, Cal 13: Dear Jeff Tedford, Please Fix The Offense
The story of the game to me was not Chris Polk striding into the end zone on the final play of the game, although it was a fitting end to a very disturbing 2010 California Golden Bears football campaign.

QuarterbacksIt took him awhile, but Kevin Riley has got the offense down. He's making his reads. He can make throws to most places on the field. He can step up in the pocket and deliver with confident. His footwork is more precise. His mechanics, after being erratic most of last season, are...
Jeff Tedford's Stable Regime Lays Foundation for Cal Recruiting Success
via media.steamboatpilot.com Will Austin Hinder be the next Tedford success story? (HT Solarise for the photo) I'll admit as much as anyone; we got some real luck on our side this time. Recruiting can be such a crapshoot sometimes, especially for a program like Cal that's been strugging to make...
