He has bumped his head a lot. We have talked a lot, tried to give him a lot of advice, point him in the right direction. Some of it, he’s been very receptive, and other portions of it, he hasn’t. And it’s those things that sometimes you’ve gotta learn for yourself before you think, ‘Oh wow, this is it.’ But I’d like to continue to stress that this is a guy that’s learning, growing. But now it’s time. These last three games, hopefully four, the trajectory has to be going north. We have to show that we are growing, there has been some growth and development of our players, our team, and the culture is getting stronger. Those are all things that you have to have going “

Having a GM is one thing. It's another having a GM who is an experienced head coach. Sounds like Rivera has Tosh on the clock.

GMs in college football are another great idea

What's the point of hiring a bag man as the HC when you can pay players in the open now

That’s on the AD, if the HC and GM aren’t on the same page you have a problem.

Tosh Lupoi is one of those guys that is a recruiter only that doesn’t really have a role anymore with NIL.

Unfortunately for Cal they made him head coach

To be fair, you have absolutely zero clue what he brings to the table behind the scenes

It’s pretty well known he made his name as a recruiter and not a schemer

No chance he gets a second year at Cal

A complete disaster of a hire

No way JKS sticks around and plays for Tosh his junior year

It’s extra odd because I feel like with the way things are structured in CFB, the chances of the GM staying if they fire Lupoi is like 0 percent. Those are pretty much package deals unlike the pro version

Ron hired a guy that everyone knows can't coach and then is surprised that he can't coach. Brilliant stuff.

It's become a necessity. EVERY player on the roster is a "free agent" every year. It's tough to expect the HC to coach, recruit, handle the media AND keep abreast of the free agent market and negotiate numerous individual contracts.
