Dale is starting a new series looking at each position heading into next season. Starting with QB

I can remember back when Alliotti retired and there were discussions on boards about who would be the next coordinator. Pellum and Neal were internal candidates but my favorites at the time were Orlando and DeRuyter. We all know how that worked out. I am really happy to see DeRuyter on staff. His defensive pedigree is top notch. Plus, he immediately helps to potentially improve upon or help the coaching of the secondary and the LB’s. The likes of Chance, Heyward, Wilson and Joe brainstorming and scheming with DeRuyter should be awesome to watch on the field. Here’s hoping to a full spring to actually teach and implement his D.

Appears to be messing with our heads. But maybe not. The Ducks would love to land him.

Wow, down 10-2 at home after about half the 1st qtr. I am totally shocked how bad they look so far!
Game left so we’ll see if they turn it around!

Has anyone done some research on why some apparently totally capable players opt for the portal so quickly?

Are they deficient in quality for the school they chose and they finally learn it?

Is it lack of PT because the school recruited so many players at their position?

Did they get bad information from the recruiters or the school about their chance to crack the three deep?

Do they come to realize that the coaches cannot really do much for them in the way of skills and FB moxie?

Do they finally realize that the team did not recruit the supporting players to make them shine?

Just wondering.

Football Scoop first then confirmed by us, the Cal DC will be promoted to UO DC.

Since the Polynesian Bowl is canceled this year, we did not go to Hawaii. Instead we are at Canon Beach for 3 days

Trace Travers with Cal did a nice interview of the coach last year.
