Lupoi move affect on recruiting

[FWHORN]

Sounds like Cal is really in a world of hurt with Lupoi moving to conference rival Washington. Kind of a slimy move in January to make quite frankly.

Update: Little did I know how slimy, this is an SEC type scumbag move.

Dang... what is it with UDub? First it's slick rick & now it's sark! As the 2nd article states, Tedford isn't squeaky clean, but this takes it up a couple notches. This has sleezy written all over it, from beginning to end and stinks to high heaven regarding the recruiting...

But I don't feel sorry for Cal, at all... not the least bit!

Wow, this guy is a huge scumbag for recruiting against Cal the day after leaving. Cal had made some incredible recruiting coups in the last couple of weeks, and looked to finish near the top in recruiting rankings. Now it is all falling apart because of this asshat. I hope karma gets him bigtime one day.

Cal already lost a DT recruit to UCLA because of the move.

I'm no Cal fan, but no team deserves what they've gotten from Lupoi. I know there was a time last season when Lupoi was rumored to be courted by UT...if that was true, this is one where I'm glad we went other directions.

If this had happened to OU, agricultural, or any other school I'm no fan of, I would say the same thing.

Nobody should fault a coach for changing jobs to improve himself, but there's a right way, and a wrong way to do it. A lot of us were less than happy last year with Coach Boom when he basically used banquet weekend to let Mack know he was jumping to Florida as head coach. What Muschamp did was entirely above board compared to Lupoi's move, even if the timing could have been better.

What Lupoi is alleged to have done is sleazy. He played both ends against the middle, and flat out lied to Tedford, and recruited against the school he was currently employed by, if the facts are straight. He might be a good position coach, and a better recruiter, but apparently, he leaves an awful lot to be desired as a person. He must have been absent the day they were teaching ethics.

It would take a lot for anyone to make Cal a sympathetic program for me. Lupoi accomplished that, and I, for one, would love to see it come back and bit him in the butt.

It looks like Sarkisian is giving Kiffin some new, shiny, slimy competition. With USC, Oregon, and now Washington, it looks like mushrooms are growing quickly in the Pac-12.

Wonder how Leach will fare amidst all this.
