Unless something untoward comes out about Dykes' regime at Berkley -
Anybody seriously believe this doesn't have to do with Chip Kelly being available? |

Just a classic case of an Air Raid team having a potent offense with an abysmal defense. Probably going to happen to Kliff at TTU if it doesn't get turned around (Hope it does, though...I'm a big KK fan). I do think the timing is weird, as the dead period is almost over. This was also expected to be a rebuilding year as they just lost Goff + 6 WRs. I wonder if Tony Franklin saw the writing on the wall last year...

Anybody seriously believe this doesn't have to do with Chip Kelly being available? In keeping this thread about coaching (and not veering off into a typical fan board discussion) I agree, and I think coaches are put in a tough place because of situations like this. I would think the honorable thing for a coach is to not talk with any schools who currently have a HC, but that may lead to situations like this or like Les Miles earlier this year (with Joe Dean absolutely bunglingthe LSU process just like he bungled the DUKE Lacrosse issue...but that is not for here). Stangs13065 I don't think this is a "classic" case because of the timing. A classic case would have had Dykes being called in and dismissed after Thanksgiving. |

Franklin's got grandkids and older parents in the southeast that's why he went back to middle. Can't blame him there. I didn't think Dykes and Calm were a good fit. He's a Texas guy through and through and I think he was trying to get back there. Cal is also having budget problems with their newer stadium and financing other sports. I read they were thinking of cutting back on some sports to make up the budget difference

Cal doesn't seem serious enough about winning to hire Kelly. Butch Jones would be the perfect fit there.

I read that Cal got fed up with Dykes interviewing for other jobs every year and wanted someone more dedicated. That, and Chip Kelly wouldn't have to move.

I am pretty close to Cal Geographically
i go there every spring
Dykes is a good dude, he has been recruiting our RB since he has been there and we have a class of 18 LB who committed there
what the school is saying
-school is pissed every off season he interviews for a HC job somewhere else... they gave him the big extension he wanted and then interviewed for the Baylor job this off season
What the kids are saying
-current players are pissed because most found out on twitter. I read a mass text was sent to all players from the school but it was sent within minutes of it breaking on twitter... so if a kid opened twitter app before his texts... he found out on twitter
-kids are asking for Jake Spavital to take over as HC and for them to hire a new DC and they will be happy
i read Spav is taking over right now as interim while they decide who they are going to hire (he gets super screwed if the new guy brings in his own guys)
AD said he has a list of candidates but he wont be releasing it
Chip kelly and even Les miles are the big buzz words
i dont see chip kelly taking it
benefit is that he doesnt have to move... still in the bay area
but he wont have nearly the support at Cal that he had back in his oregon days
no money, poor facilities, totally land locked where they cant build separate football facilities like most of the major Colleges
the weight room is nice, and i would say is the most comparable thing to a top 10 program
that and he hasnt had to recruit in what, like 4-5 years? Cal hasnt exactly been killing the recruiting game since Aaron Rodgers, D-Jax, and Beast Mode left
Weird timing, kinda screws the new HC over for this recruiting cycle

Anybody seriously believe this doesn't have to do with Chip Kelly being available? I'm sure it does. The media are saying he deserved it because of his overall record and the fact they didn't win more when they had Goff, but to me it seems pretty clear why he really got canned unless something scandalous comes out. I initially agreed it might have something to do with Chip Kelly. However, while it isn't "scandalous" I could see Cal getting wind of him interviewing at all of these places and saying "Ok, enough is enough" I think that holds true with us as well, particularly coaches who are also professional educators. |

semi inside rumor
admin was irritated by him always looking for a new job
BUT he did something BIG that really made them mad and was the final straw
dont have any clue what, dont know if it will ever get out, but supposedly, he did something that really upset the AD
not actually supposed to be related to Chip Kelly

Applying for other jobs is just an easy out on the PR side. |
