Cal is not a bad coach. He's not the best, but he's certainly a capable coach, and a hell of a motivator.

It's asking too much to be the best X's and O's coach as well as the best recruiter in America. But if you are a pretty good X's and O's guy, the best recruiter, and great at managing a bunch of superstar 18 year olds, then you are an elite coach. Cal is elite.

Sure it does. The problem for the talented teams is that when times they get hard they tend to break down if their coach isn't a strong X and O coach who can scheme up some easy points on the fly.

He may not be the best gameday coach, but damn his recruiting is something else. I think he's a very good coach, but getting all that talent isn't all that bad.

Cal has his deficiencies. But it takes a special kind of coach to get young, often egotistical talent to play like a team. Look at Howland and UCLA as to how that can go wrong if you don't have control. Cal also doesn't get NEAR enough credit for teaching guys to play lockdown defense in a short stretch of time.

He's not the best X's and O's guy but he's evolved from that coach in '08 into a good X's and O's guy.

Talent AND coaching trumps quite a bit.

Team with most points usually wins.
