CBS News: A Few Nuggets to Get the Spring Wheels Rolling

Here is the link.  Note that Cal is not in their pre-spring top 25.

 

Offensive minds what to know

Notre Dame's Charlie Weis isn't the only mastermind to give up play-calling.  In shaking up the staff, Cal's Jeff Tedford hired Frank Cignetti from the 49ers (where he was quarterbacks coach) and handed him the offensive playbook. Cignetti has quite a challenge. The Bears dropped from 12th to 50th in total offense and are losing several playmakers.  Something had to be done. Cal started 5-0 and was ranked No. 2 before losing six of its last seven. Cignetti brings 19 years of college and NFL experience.  Tedford and Weis are still considered two of the top offensive minds in the game. But after coaching their teams to combined 10-15 records, both coaches admitted they needed to spend more time on the defensive side of the ball.
