I mean what made Braun come to Cal or Howland go to Pitt. I understand it may be unlikely but I think it is worth considering despite the fact he may only be a 2nd year guy. Maybe that is what we need at the moment to free us from the doldrums of Braun. That’s exactly what I was thinking. I mean what made Braun come to Cal or Howland go to Pitt.

Even if better offers come this year, I'm sure he'll leave when he's ready to, to a place where he thinks he'll succeed. I think he'd do great things for the Bears, but I didn't include him mainly because I didn't see anything in his bio to suggest he'd be interested in coming to California. The counterargument, of course, is that you could have said the same of Ben Braun before he came to Cal.

It is important to note that during their tenures, both were promoted several times, so it's not as if they were in exactly the same job for over a decade. If I had to guess, I'd say that both were enjoying the stability of having their family in one place, something not often afforded to college coaches, and each let their ambition to become a head coach take a back seat. Hardin,

Anthony Grant of Virginia Commonwealth. He has a great midmajor team and I bet he'd love to step up to the plate in a big competative conference like the Pac-10. I know he may be holding out hope for a SEC or ACC job but I think if we pay up and hand over the reigns to him then he could take us to national prominence.

The Old Blues in Lamorinda have seen him do what we can't too many times. Steal him. Randy Bennett has to be on the really short list.
