for those wondering about Lupoi... he and DeRuyter are 2 of the 3 finalists for the Oregon DC job apparently. Dunno who the other candidate is...
heard from a guy who who knows a guy who has a friend in the Oregon office
Almost certainly heading back to the west coast. Rumors of homesickness (although McDonald's may have been involved). Started following all the Cal coaches recently and would get 200 tackles in that O. 30 mins from home too. We'll see.
He also got busted at UW for giving recruits cash in a coffee cup (while working for Sark)... I dont think UW is an option for Tosh
Heard a radio interview from one of the TFB guys yesterday, he said the word was that Kwiatkowski can coach anywhere on the front 7. Take that for what you will
I would disagree. He was a solid/good DC at Cal and has had a pretty solid career at Boise and Washington. If you havent figured it out, UW fans have a vocal population of delusional posters whose grip on reality is pretty tenuous. Every school has this but UW's are at the forefront so make a lot of noise.
Gregory is a good position coach who allegedly helps a ton with game planning. He has the personality of a squid and isnt much of a recruiter.
good hire if we want coaching. Shit hire if we want recruiting
Bob Gregory is a very experienced coach, former DC at Cal (you knew it was coming...) under Tedford. Mellow, quiet, not much of a recruiter but a very good positional coach
I asked on one of the Cal paywall sites and they haven’t heard any whispers about DeRuyter doing anything but coming back to Cal. They’re going to poke a few people to see if there is anything there but if it’s him, it’s been super quiet
Wilcox doesn’t run the Cal defense... He’s got input but DeRuyter was the play caller til this shortened shit storm of a season. Sirmon calls the plays now. Cal is running DeRuyters contract down cause Wilcox’s bestie Sirmon came to town and Sirmon can actually recruit.
DeRuyter is a good game day DC who has actually shown he can make adjustments at halftime. He doesn’t recruit much but if all Texas needs is a DC for a year or two to call plays and keep things competent? DeRuyter wouldn’t be bad. Won’t recruit for shit and is definitely a step below the names mentioned in terms of flash but Texas would be solid defensively... turning Cal’s D around after the heaping steaming pile of shit that Sonny Dykes left is no small feat
