As it relates to Maynard, who thought he was going to be any good?  The evidence suggests Tedford took Maynard as a transfer so he could get Keenan Allen.  No other school was willing to take Maynard as a starting QB to get Allen.  Alabama said no way.

As far as buying Tedsel out, the problem Cal has is that its current donors are happy with going to a bowl game and Cal not getting into any NCAA/off field trouble.  Cal donors don't understand that when you aim so low, everyone else trying to win will bury you.  It's only a matter of time until so many more better coaches prevent you from even reaching a bowl game.  This is precisely where Cal is at.  The conference has better coaches than Tedsel almost universally.  His conference record since 2006 is 17-22, and he's lost his last six conference games.

It's been said many times, Cal (and its donors) is Cal's worst enemy. 

There might be "younger old blues" that don't want to put up with losing, but who wants to give their money to UC's athletic department?  The program hasn't been to a Rose Bowl or gone to a BCS bowl in over 50 years and sets new standards for mismanaging money and giving horrible contracts to coaches who aren't performing at an elite level.
