Note: These names are based entirely on speculation. We have no known list of candidates.

Oh Tosh Lupoi. Who knew your name would ever appear on a Cal coaching search again. But here you are!

Pedigree: Lupoi got his first start on Jeff Tedford’s coaching staff as the youngest coach in Cal football history at 26 years old. Lupoi served as defensive line coach from 2008 to 2011, when the Bears enjoyed some of their greatest defensive successes in three of those four season. Lupoi helped develop NFL defensive linemen Cameron Jordan and Tyson Alualu, and the Bears enjoyed historical success despite Lupoi only having three down linemen to work with in a 3-4.
