Why would Carr be guaranteed? I'm confused. The one thing I like about Tedford is that he's known as a good groomer and builder when it comes to QBs. However, wasn't one of Cal's knocks that they had decent talent, but poor play calling? I could be mistaken about that, but Tedford would worry me a bit as an OC.
His QBs mechanics SUCK. I'm guessing he made the Carr connection since he coaches his brother at Fresno St.
his footwork is his biggest con from what I read. Throwing mechanics are good. Very quick release.
Worth noting Tedford was on the outer radar for NFL head coaching jobs in the early 2000s. I know Al Davis interviewed him at least once and am pretty sure he interviewed with the Bears (ironically for the job Lovie Smith got).
Good read- thanks for taking the time to put this up.
Tedfords QBs are notoriously unable to succeed in the NFL. That concerns me only because of his input to the choice of the new QB.
Except for that guy in GB who is one of the top 4 QBs in the league. And if you want to get technical, two of his college QBs have won Super Bowls as the starting QB. Name another college coach that can claim that.
Is it notorious? Dilfer and Rodgers succeeded, I think you could make the case that Carr was (relatively) a success just as an individual. Obviously Harrington and Boller sucked. Granted, not the best list, but I think saying he's notorious for having bad QBs is a bit incorrect.

maybe that is a sign of his coaching talent? He got a lot out of the guys in college?
His QB are notoriously mechanical. Rodgers is the outlier.
His QB's aren't that good is why. He teaches them to be robots to get something from them. His offense was also notorious for only reading half the field because the dimbulbs he had weren't that good. Now, you see that as bad but to me that is what a good coach does -- coach up inferior talent.
Do the math. Lots of fail in the NFL. Rodgers being the exception. Dilfer was a game manager with an incredible defense.I am not saying he would be a bad OC...tedford has been talked about on this board for years.
He put 8 QB's inot the pros (lists leave out guys who were never starters like Volek) and also 5 running backs - Vereen, Lynch, Best for example. He isn't just an aerial show those Cal teams ran a lot and well.
http://www.calbears.com/SportSelect.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=30100&SPID=126513&SPSID=749427 Tedford was a really good coach, runs a solid system and always had a high scoring offense. Look at Cal without him. Their only win this past season was at home against a 1-AA by 7 points.

yup.god forbid we bring an OC who's former players fail once they leave his team
Doesn't have NFL play-calling experience but neither did Jay Gruden. And he's easily a top 3 OC in the NFL. I would roll the die with Jeff Tedford b/c we've seen him utilize play-maker after play-maker that stepped through the doors at Cal. DeSean Jackson, Lynch, Forestt, Best, etc...Carr would most likely be our pick at #7 if he falls past Cleveland.
I think the Carr connection is a reeeeeal stretch. He might be the best available on the board, in which case he'd be drafted, but just because he coached his brother doesn't mean he likes Derek at all. For all we know, he didn't like David that much. Hell, Doug Marone had multiple chances to draft Ryan Nassib and decided to draft EJ Manuel instead.
I have no problem with the OC not having NFL experience as long as the HC does and Lovie has plenty.
