I chuckle at some of these posts, "...who is doing what?", "...who is in charge?", "I wanna pony". blah, blah, blah.
The coaches know what they are doing. Keep in mind these coaches are dealing with mostly kids, the more coaches the better. For on the field and off the field.
Great. But I must confess I can't figure out or keep straight who is doing what, exactly. How is the defensive backs coach different from this position? It matters tremendously within the team, and it is all too easy to have this be confusing to players or such, and that's up to Tosh. But for fans, I'd still like to know who to credit or blame for performance issues during the season!
The point is to go private school over public school, have fewer students per teacher. This is an elevated position that focuses purely on the passing game elements of the defense -- beyond just the DBs. But that doesn't matter, the point is to pay him to be yet another coach on the field developing our kids.
No doubt it can be a good thing. But implementation will be everything. Who calls the shots? How consistent is the coaching between coaches with overlapping responsibilities? We are a Cal site, we have Haas, we care about these leadership and management details. More coaches=good. Clear roles and consistent approaches=better. And still, for the rest of us, who is really doing what?
That's what I'm saying -- I don't think it functionally matters if the DC is calling the plays. They're all just effectively writing out the scope of who they coach in their titles, and we shouldn't read into it much more than that IMHO.
Good news regarding Keith Heyward. On another topic, what is happening or has happened with the eligibility determination for Jacob De Jesus? Anyone, anyone?
De Jesus and Dixon-Veal are part of Pavia vs. NCAA. Feb 10 had a hearing on a preliminary injunction but doesn't appear there was a ruling. I read that Keanaaina's request for an extra year was denied, but he may have appeals and such. Probably a long-shot, though.
I don't like taking sports related things to the court. If they start saying something is unconstitutional, then pretty much anything can be.
What right does the NCAA have to limit athlete's eligibility? Why not allow them to play 10 years if they wanted to? Or return to college after playing in NFL? Why limit the game to only 60 minutes? Why not allow them to play more? Is it constitutional to penalize an offensive lineman in a difficult stance for just twitching his hip unintentionally?

I just ran the numbers and by each position group, Cal has more coaches than actual players!! GTFOOH

We just blame Buh for bad defense, Musgrave for bad offense, Alamar for bad special teams, and Wilcox for bad team management.
We praise Tosh and Rivera for success in anything.

A number of the coaches we brought in last year seemed like they could be decent. It seems that Tosh feels the same.

Whoa, lots of cases on that list. Thank you for the information, I appreciate it.
