Tosh to Cal as HC per Skopil

[Greenblood]

And is it clear whether or not Lupoi, like Stein, stays on calling plays for the Ducks for the remainder of their season?

I really like Hampton. I think he is elite.

Problem with Hampton, is people are already penciling him in as the HC replacement at South Carolina whenever they fire Beemer in the future. But if he’s that good for a year or two, I can live with it.

It's a good problem to have since it means Oregon has been successful enough for Hampton to get a look.

It just helps him bring in more talented Coordinators if they all keep getting HC jobs.

Oh, I agree. Which is why I think we have a real chance at Mac Leftwich or Hartline, if we want them.

I'm not being a jerk by asking this, I just don't genuinely know much about him as a DC. What in your opinion makes him elite?
Also, with the Tulane HC open, is there any concern Hampton ends up there?

I'm not in the room, but if memory serves, he ran a quality defense at Tulane, and more recently, the Oregon defense got better when he came on to support Tosh.

That job sounds like it's going to LSU DC Blake Baker.

Sounds like he's officially Cal's HC even if Cal hasn't put out an announcement yet.

I know that outside of Hampton leaving to be Head Coach somewhere that he is our next Defensive Coordinator, but are there any rumors for who is going to take Tosh's positional coaching spot on the staff or be the new co-DC?

As for Tosh's staff, it will be interesting to see who ends up on his staff. I wonder if he keeps anyone from the current Cal staff or if he brings anyone from the current Oregon staff with him.

It really could be someone already on staff but it'll likely be someone from the outside. They probably need another good recruiter to replace some of Tosh's abilities there.

Agreed. A guy that could make sense from that standpoint:
-Maryland co-DC Aazaar Abdul-Rahim (he and Lanning were on staff together with Saban at Bama in 2015).

Highly doubt they bring in another guy who's only coached DBs in his career when they still have Hampton and Wadood.

The thinking with that would be that Hampton can focus solely on being the DC, Lorig coaches OLBs like he has done before, and you don't have to rely on Wadood to handle the entire secondary.
