Few thoughts...
* I guess Jeff will still be the UC's highest paid employee until he gets another job.  I would imagine he will want a new opportunity, and will get one.  So his days with this current auto-correct are numbered.  I guess it won't matter because now that he is not a Pac-12 coach few on this board will write about his activities.

* UCB's job is less desirable than UCLA's, so UCB will need to pay big money to get a quality coach into that situation.  If UCB is really wants to win that new coach will likely become "UC's highest paid" though Mora might still take the title.

* I also am eager to see the big name dreams of the UCB community get crushed by reality.

* The lack of a coach is going to ruin their 2013 recruiting, though I don't think many of their verbals are highly desired by other Pac-12 schools.

Lots of wrong assumptions here.

California is now a desirable job.  It has great facilities (better than UCLA, including an on campus facility) and has proven it can have great fan support.  Stanford's success even proves it can be done at a school that values academic performance.

California will have to pay whatever market rate is for their coach, no premium price because it's California.

You don't fire a coach making nearly $3 million, spend heavily and be reliant on the football program to generate revenue to fund the athletic department, and then pinch pennies when it comes to hiring a new coach.  California will land a fine head coach and the fans won't be crushed.

California's recruiting class is currently pretty weak.  A new head coach with credibility who can get started quickly has a realistic chance to have a better class than Tedford would have pulled had he stayed in place.
