Upgrade the stadium to make it more comfortable for the fans.

Talking last season about some drills he had his guys doing and a little coaching philosophy. 4:55 to 5:55

In his first season in his current role in 2018, Tuioti was instrumental in the development of three of the most improved players on the defense in Luc Bequette, Chris Palmer and Tevin Paul, with all three putting up career highs in nearly every category.

 

The contributions of the defensive linemen in 2018 helped the Bears rank among national and Pac-12 leaders in nearly every category. Cal ranked in the top 10 nationally and paced the conference in interceptions (21, No. 2 NCAA), defensive touchdowns (5, No. T4 NCAA), turnovers gained (28, No. 6T NCAA) and passing yards allowed (175.1 ypg, No. 9 NCAA). The Bears also paced the conference and ranked in the top 20 in the country in pass efficiency defense (107.26, No. 11 NCAA) and first downs allowed (227, No. 18 NCAA). In addiiton, Cal was 15th nationally in total defense (317.2 ypg) and 22nd in scoring defense (20.4 ppg) while registering third in the Pac-12 in both areas.

Tuioti was instrumental in the development of a pair of Cal's most dynamic players and edge rushers in 2017 in outside linebackers Alex Funches and Cameron Goode. Funches contributed 36 tackles while leading the team in tackles for loss (10.5) and ranking second in sacks (4.0). Goode started each of the team's first nine games before suffering a season-ending injury and did a little bit of everything with 46 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, one interception, three pass breakups, two quarterback hurries and one forced fumble. Goode returned his interception 32 yards for a touchdown late in the fourth quarterback to secure a victory against Ole Miss in one of Cal's most memorable plays of the campaign. Raymond Davison (62 tackles, 4.5 sacks), the team's third-leading tackler and leader in sacks, also played a significant amount of the season at outside linebacker while also seeing action on the inside. Davison is now in the NFL on Kansas City's practice squad.

Prior to joining Cal, Tuioti was the director of player personnel at Michigan in 2016. During his one season with the Wolverines, Tuioti filled the role of the head of the recruiting department for a team that finished 10-3 overall and ranked No. 10 nationally. He was instrumental in hosting recruiting visits for many of the nation’s top recruits and helped secure several commitments including each of the top six ranked in-state recruits as part of a 2017 class that ranked as high as No. 3 nationally according to Scout. He also played a critical role in developing the relationships for a satellite camp tour in the summer of 2016 that included American Samoa, Australia and Hawaii among nearly 40 locations.

Tuioti spent the previous two seasons in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns (2014-15) as an assistant defense line/quality control coach. Cleveland defensive tackle Danny Shelton, the 12th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft out of Washington, started 15 of 16 games and posted 36 tackles under Tuioti’s oversight in 2015. The Browns' 2014 defense led the NFL in opponents' completion percentage (57.1%), opponents' quarterback passer rating (74.1) and passes defended (99), while ranking second in interceptions (21), tied fourth in takeaways (29) and ninth in points allowed (21.1 ppg). The 2014 Browns had the largest road comeback victory in NFL history with a 29-28 win at Tennessee after trailing 28-3 in the second quarter.

So much this.  Everyone wants to try to pick sides that he did or did not assault her.  Maurice did or did not know that it was assault.  The University and AD did or did not lie.  Blah, blah, blah.  Just let it be until all the facts come out and then MAYBE you will have enough information to make an informed decision what "side" to be on.  The semantics and people trying to read into things in this whole situation are ridiculous.

The 2pm-6pm guys on 1620 should take this advice. They spent almost their entire show speculating on what and when the university knew. I can no longer listen to that show. JP is an idiot. 

Loose out on his northeast connections in recruiting.

Fiddle sticks! Would be nice to have some consistency around here - especially in that room

Sorry if I missed a follow up on this, but where has this been stated? I know that Verduzco isn't a fan of outside QB coaches, but Scott is good friends with The Program's CEO, so I thought that this would probably continue.

 

I cant remember where I heard that. It was either in the sharp and benning clip (post on page 1) or I read it somewhere. Something about how no more outside vendors can be brought in for training the athletes or something like that. Wish I could remember the source and I don't have ability to listen to that clip right now.

Hope he gets the bike!

Home - 2008 Colorado - in the student section.

Away - 2015 Miami and 2017 Oregon - fun because of the tailgating, location and husker fans I met.

It's an odd feeling being so quite leading up to signing day.

Haven't the talks been that he is ND bound if offered? 

Yes, according to Damon Benning.

How much blame should the boosters take for the downfall of the football program in the past 15-20 years?

I'm disappointed that they won't allow the program leadership training anymore.

I get the convenience of the lazy/partier implication. Especially as we are not privy to the level of information to warrant an informed decision. Though it bothers me when people/posts are dismissive of a kid by oversimplifying the situation. He has made his own bed but there might be a little more to it than that.

 

To clear the NCAA 40-60-80 rule he would need 60% of a degree completed by the end of his third year. At 120 credit hours for NU graduation that would be 72 hours. Not a giant hurdle but that is the actual number with which he is dealing.

 

1. All of those have to be applicable to the same major to hit the 60% mark. This can be very tricky if he ever changed majors or started very gen ed and now wants to go a major with a heavy emphasis. Something writing intensive would likely cause just as much problem as something math intensive.

2. All have to be at a grade high enough to be accepted by the transferring institution.

3. All of the courses must actually be transferable to NU. JUCOs are really good at creating "unique" courses that might not fit into the transferring schools curriculum. e.g. A California JUCO might have a 'History of the Southwest' course that Nebraska would not accept because they did not have anything that specific in the current course catalog(personal experience on this one). Usually this is mitigated by local JUCOs tailoring for local 4-year schools. There are large discrepancies from Kansas schools to NU let alone from Arizona schools to NU. I'm sure he would have registered for the semester with some heavy input from NU Admissions folks to try and alleviate this.

 

So if he took 12 hours a semester for three years he would be at 72 credits. If even one course did not transfer he would not be eligible even if he had a 4.0 GPA. I'm not claiming this is his exact situation but hopefully demonstrating that lack of guidance early in the process or a change of direction can screw a student athlete more than anything else. Even when they are doing everything they are asked.

Good info. Thanks

Looks like I'll have to purchase tickets to the Rooftop Terrace also. 

N!!!!!

I think KSU will be more of a pain in the arse than KU.
