Cal snags Ludwig...

[Blueblood]

Wow!

From Cal Media Relations:

Cal Hires Andy Ludwig as Offensive Coordinator
February 20, 2009

Andy Ludwig, who is considered one of the nation’s top offensive minds and has more than 20 seasons coaching at the collegiate level, has joined the University of California coaching staff as offensive coordinator, Golden Bear head coach Jeff Tedford announced Friday.

Last season, Ludwig served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Utah, helping the Utes to a perfect 13-0 record, a 31-17 victory over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and a No. 2 national ranking in the Associated Press poll. He also tutored Utah quarterback Brian Johnson to Mountain West Conference Offensive Players of the Year and Sugar Bowl MVP honors.

One of five finalists for the FootballScoop Offensive Coordinator of the Year Award in 2008

Ludwig’s Utah offense ended the 2008 regular season first in the Mountain West and 15th nationally in scoring offense (37 points per game)

Ludwig shaped the career of Carr, who led the nation in passing yards (4,839) and touchdowns (46), was a Heisman Trophy finalist and won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm and Sammy Baugh awards. Ludwig also mentored Billy Volek, who set the NCAA record for lowest career and season interception percentage.

Under Ludwig, Kellen Clemens had the best sophomore season ever by an Oregon quarterback. He would later go in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft to the New York Jets. Wide receiver Sammie Parker set Oregon game, season and career records for receptions, while Ludwig also showcased 1,000-yard rushers Onterrio Smith and Terrence Whitehead.

Cal Poly ranked seventh in the country in total offense in 1997 when Ludwig led the Mustang offense, averaging 455.0 yards per game and quarterback Alli Abrew led the nation in passing efficiency.

Cal fans had been praying that Tedford would get rid of Frank Cignetti (most predictable OC I've EVER seen)

To think what he (Andy Ludwig) did to that vaunted Alabama SEC defense in the Sugar Bowl with 1 and 2 star players....

... I can only imagine what he'll do with the 4 and 5 star players at Cal.


This could be the best OC Cal has ever had.

Super get !

And Cal will still suck..... Life goes on.....

Cal also just snagged one of the top 20 players in the state of Tejas..... unreal !

http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/vi ... _key=76146


... and he should qualify.... being that he sports a 3.65 GPA.


Absolutely perfect fit for our 3-4... and will enroll early! He has redwood trunks for legs and nice burst off the snap. Already looks like BJ Raji of Senior Bowl fame.








The word is getting out... California is the place to be.

Oh yeah, nice get on the 5-19..... Iowa State coach.


Too funny.


The days of Allbarn being relevant.... have ended forever.

Kids have the internet now... and know what a shithole "The Barn" is.

[Blueblood]

And the NFL's highest paid player is....

Pretty high on that list, eh? Then again - I'm sure that's the main reason you went.

Cal is a "LGBT" school. And doing pretty good on THAT list, anyway!!!!

Liberace.... this is a football board.

Keep your dreams alive on the main board.

[King Crimson]

with all that elite talent, stellar cocksmanship, and coaching you'd think Cal could do better than being a 2nd tier also-ran.

[Van]

Bwaaaa!! I don't even know why some of that was funny but it still made me laugh...

Why Elmer Fudd and why a chili dog?? Bwaaaa...

[Van]

It just keeps getting better for Cal...

Eh. Not so much.

[Danimal]

Sucks to be KSU-fan about now. First they end-up with a recruit-class that isn't worth a shit by nonBCS standards and now they already lose their OC. I'd guess Snyder would tab his old-hand Dana Dimal as OC now. I'd suggest they name Koenning heir fairly soon. Ya he's a KSU-guy and Ludwig wasn't but folks will still come courting and he could bolt too.

Congrats to Mtool, Blueblood, Strawberry Canyon, or whatever the fuck you prefer. Ludwig should be a good OC for you guys.

It's a brilliant hire.

Cal has restrictions on academics that ucla and usc..... well, basically ever d1 team in the country doesn't have.

This is the hire that will challenge them as student/athletes.

It took the Utah kids 3 years to learn the offense.... it should take the California kids about 8 weeks to learn the in's and out's.


The Pac 10 has a new sheriff in town.

[Van]

Nonsense. Getting into Cal on a football scholarship is no more difficult than getting into UCLA on a football scholarship. Getting into Cal without a football scholarship is no more difficult than getting into UCLA without a football scholarship...and neither place is as difficult as Stanford, with or without a football scholarship.

Marshawn Lynch isn't exactly Alex Mack. Marshawn Lynch is pure Oakland Ghetto. He didn't get into Cal on his academics. The guy can barely speak English. If Marshawn Lynch isn't a football player he doesn't get into Cal.

Wash your mouth out with soap.... you racist.

Marshawn came to Cal with close to a 4.0

He left Cal with a 3.0.

Marshawn isn't a stupid kid.

With that video were you attempting to prove your point, or mine??

The guy is a thug. The giant "Oakland" tat covering his entire chest should've been your first tip off. The second arrest in as many off seasons should be another. Felony concealed weapons charges in L.A. ghettos are always a sign of good cultured breeding.

As for his 4.0 GPA, yeah, I buy that. He sounds just like Alex Mack. Indistinguishable, those two.

One of the greatest thinking minds of our time may differ.

Humor is the highest form of intelligence.

You can go from A to C and bypass B.

Brilliant thought.

No, Cal just stagged one of the top 100 players from Texas. No one thinks he is anything better than a 3-star prospect. And looking at his offer list you guys beat out SMU, a$m, Baylor, KSU Stanford, Michigan and Missouri to get him.

Congrats on the less than stellar pickup.

Look shit for brains.... he has 3.65 gpa....

...which means he's too smart to get into Tejas.

... and we "snagged" one of the top 20 kids from the state of Tejas.


Can "Tejas" say that of California ????

[Van]

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3909366

On the bright side, this report has the charge being reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor but it mentions that in addition to his concealed weapons charge officers also found pot inside his car.

Very often we can since our starting TE comes from Kal and we did get Ricky Williams from SD as well. 3.65 would not get him into Texas. The only way he gets into Texas is if he is in the top 10% of his class. Now of course as an athlete he qualifies enough to make it in under NCAA rules but as an Athlete he didn't qualify to get an offer from Texas, or for that matter Oklahoma, or LSU.

You see when a Texas kid gets an offer from one, he is generally pretty good, if he gets an offer from two his is extremely good, if he holds an offer from all three then he is elite. You boy holds no offers so no one is impressed.

[TheJON]

The word is getting out... California is the place to be.

Yeah, if you're into this.....


EDIT: No need for that Jon. I only remove the pic, 88 and/or PSU will want to speak to you in the office. LS

Can we get a permanent ban on the animal fucker from Iowa ?


This shit has no place here.


I really don't want to see this shit when I visit here.

[Blueblood]

Fuck you, Milton. I'm sure you're drooling over that picture. It's your way of life.

The only people on this board that would approve of that pic..... are you, and the jon.


Congrats.



You're one sick fucker.... with a tendency for "little" boys.

You just condoned the picture.... you sick fuck !

[WolverineSteve]

awwww come on you sick fucks, I gotta agree with m2 here. Posting that shit is just plain wrong.

You're right. We shouldn't supply Milton with jack material.

Pssst... "the joke is on you".


Go away....

[WolverineSteve]

John needs at minimum a timeout. Aren't there rules about this stuff?

[Van]

Why in the fuck is that pic still there?

Bare minimum, why hasn't anyone wytched Irie into the scene somewhere?

if (!) titties are NSFW, what is that? i'd rather try and explain of one danimal's hotties to the boss...

"see, there's this guy JoninDSM...and another guy who posts pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge and a magical place called Strawberry Canyon...."

and in a thread called "Cal snags Ludwig", no less.

[Left Seater]

We all have our ways of sizing someone up and their first impression.

I have always taken my first impressions based on how someone shakes my hand and how they speak. Can't use the first one since I have never met the kid, but I have heard him speak. Not positive IMO.

[Van]

Lefty, I heard a radio interview last Sunday. It was an ESPN/NFL spot with a longtime local beat writer for the Bufallo Bills. He was on the show to discuss Marshawn's latest bout of dumbfuckery, following the announcement of Marshawn's latest arrest on the concealed weapons charge.

The guy was describing Marshawn's mother, and how at the time of Marshawn's signing by Buffalo she begged people to look past the initial impression Marshawn makes with his Ghetto Thug appearance. She said he's really a misunderstood kid.

Her point was to ask people to simply give her boy a chance and to not just judge the book by its cover.

This beat writer then went on to describe how the people of Buffalo are different than, say, the people of Marshawn's home town of Oakland. He attempted to dance around the subject as tactfully as he could but the point he was clearly making was that Ghetto Culture doesn't fly in Orchard Park and it doesn't fly with Bills fans. He said that Bills fans were already leery of the guy in the first place and then when he had his hit and run incident during his first off season he really soured people there with the way he handled it.

The feeling was that he handled it like a lying coward.

He then went on to describe how Marshawn has neve really overcome the initial impression he makes with his ghetto appearance, mainly due to the fact that he speaks so horribly. He's far too tied up in his "Oaktown" persona, which is symbolized by the giant "Oaktown" tat he has on his chest. He said Marshawn is mostly excluded from Bills' public appearances and speaking engagements, simply because the kid can't even begin to speak properly.

This writer contrasted the way Marshawn is viewed in Buffalo with the way other black Buffalo players such as James Lofton, Bruce Smith and Thurman Thomas were accepted by Buffalo's fans and the Buffalo organization.

He made a comment that while he knows Marshawn a little bit he wouldn't claim to be an expert on the kid. As such he added that he wasn't prepared to say the kid wasn't bright, or that he's stupid. No, he wouldn't say that. He would however say that he can understand how people who are regularly exposed to the kid might get that impression. He also added that without a doubt Marshawn is a very immature kid who definitely has some major growing up to do.

He wasn't sure if Buffalo was the kind of place for a kid who still needs to grow up, as Buffalo's fans are very straight forward, blue collar types who don't appreciate boorish behavior by pampered athletes.

All of which is to say that Cal is no different than most any other school. They accept ghetto thug morons, as long as they're great athletes. Marshawn Lynch was a legitimate 4.0 student like Lax is Pete Carroll's chauffeur.

[Left Seater]

I agree, everyone lowers their standards for top athletes. Now that is not to say that all schools have the same standards. Many schools take the minimum standards set by the NCAA. Others like RICE have their own lowered standards for admission for athletes. I don't attend RICE if I don't block and catch like I did. Most schools have a clause in their admission policy to allow a few spots in the frosh class for students with "special skills." Schools like, RICE, Stanford, ND, Cal use this to get football players into the school.

Now there are some athletes that will never make it into RICE because they won't be able to cut it in the classroom.

[TheJON]

Ok, I apologize for the photo. That was, umm......a low "blow". No pun intended, of course.

But the discussion was Kal Berkeley here so how can gay sex not be part of the discussion?

[Van]

Jon, the notion that a discussion doesn't also have to include graphic pics hasn't made its way to Iowa yet?

No man, we don't have computers here. Geez.....

[Van]

That pic couldn't be from Jon's own personal hard drive. Jon's from Iowa. The fags in his pic weren't fat.
