Bruce Snyder.  24-4-4, 10-2 and defeated Clemson in a bowl game his last season. Snyder claimed that outgoing AD Dave Maggard and he had a handshake deal for a new contract.  Incoming AD Bob Bockrath refused to honor it.  Snyder was a good coach for Cal and achieved a higher AP rating than did Tedford, in fact achieved the highest rating since Pappy Waldorf's fourth season (of ten).

Forcing Snyder out was the worst decision made by a Cal AD since their last Rose Bowl win (85 years and counting).

He was on the verge of signing a stellar class, including Rashaan Salaam, who won the H.eisman at CU and a host of others who formed the core of Snyder’s Rose Bowl winning ASU team.

Given Cal’s penchant for living in the past (see 1982), they still complain regularly about the debacle that was Snyder moving on to Arizona State.
