“Seeking advice for the Cal football program, Coach Jeff Tedford apparently has an appointment with the game's master strategist. Tedford will meet during the off-season with Patriots Coach Bill Belichick, according to a former Cal player now with New England. Ryan O'Callaghan, a backup right tackle, said Tedford couldn't find a better brain to pick.
"I haven't played for any other NFL coaches, but Belichick has to be the best," said O'Callaghan, now in his second season in New England. "He's very blunt about the way he wants things done and he does a great job making sure there are no egos." A Cal spokesman said he knew nothing about Tedford's visit, but O'Callaghan said Tedford has arranged to come study the framework that has helped the Patriots go 100-28 in the Belichick era. O'Callaghan has played in 26 of those games, with seven starts. This is his first Super Bowl. How does it compare to playing Stanford? "That's the Big Game," he said. "This is the Biggest Game."
