Tennessee and Arkansas should be after this guy in a big way. LSU should be after him as an offense coordinator, but he will be a head coach somewhere.

Perhaps if we were in the year 2000.

We should go after Dan Hawkins while we're at it.

California is one of the hardest schools to coach at. They're broke, completely broke. Having to compete with USC, Oregon, Washington, now Stanford, is extremely difficult. I think Tedford is a great coach. Would I want him at Alabama? Probably not. But he has a chance to be great if given a real chance

Tedford is seriously burnt out right now. He is a stress monger. Kind of an Urban Meyer-light, but without the high level of success. Team preparation and in-game decisions have really suffered the last three years.

Tedford would be an immediate upgrade to many mediocre programs. Colorado might be wise to hire him now. But I would be intrigued to see how Tedford does at a school that recruits consistently better than Cal. With the right DC, he would do fine in the SEC. Offensively, he always produces a good running game (nine 1,000 yard runners in 11 seasons), but his passing offense has been wildly inconsistent. He needs a smart QB who can read defenses to make it work. His biggest problem since A. Rodgers has been developing QBs. Maynard was a disaster—aside from being a terrible passer, for the first time Tedford used a QB who never audibled (adjustments were called in from the sideline). Tedford should have let a younger QB develop.

Ideally, Tedford really needs to take a year off to regain his health, and maybe re-think his offensive philosophy in a changing landscape. Alternatively, he might be better off in an NFL OC position.
