Here's my story from the Tuesday paper looking back at a few of the wrong turns coach Tyrone Willingham made in his four seasons at Washington.

Meanwhile, a quick update on Monday developments in UW’s football coaching search.

California coach Jeff Tedford confirmed today that he has not been contacted about the job.

Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly told media there that he has been contacted but that he isn’t ready to discuss new jobs until the Bearcats’ regular season ends Saturday at Hawaii.

The Idaho Statesman reports that Boise State coach Chris Petersen he has not been contacted and is “not planning” on leaving.

Former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin accepted the head job at Tennessee and Missouri offensive coordinator Dave Christensen has accepted the top job at Wyoming.

Rumors/reports/hopes concerning Seahawks assistant Jim Mora persist, complete now with a maybe-Wednesday time element. What I've heard is not that the Huskies are trying to steal Mora from the Seahawks, but that university officials are trying to work out a no-hard-feelings agreement with Paul Allen.

Tyrone Willingham is not an Auld Lang Syne type of guy, and he carried that through today in what was his final Monday media session at UW.

He said he is disappointed in how his time at UW went. He said he still doesn't know what he's going to do next, but that he feels no particular rush to decide. He said he doesn't want this last game to be about him. And he said he doesn't plan to coach it any differently -- either by making extra time to play seniors or making extra time to play youngsters.

California has opened a 33 1/2 point favorite over UW for the Huskies' season-ending football game Saturday at Berkeley.

Here's a link to the Golden Bears' Website.

Here's an early scouting report on the game:

CALIFORNIA (7-4 OVERALL, 5-3 PAC-10)
Noon Saturday, FSN, at Memorial Stadium, Berkeley, Calif.
Coach: Jeff Tedford, 57-30 in seventh season at Cal.

Last week: The Bears were off. The week before, Cal defeated Stanford in the annual Big Game, 37-16. Tailback Jahvid Best rushed for 201 yards and three touchdowns and was honored as Pac-10 offensive player of the week. Tailback Shane Vereen and tight end Cameron Morrah caught scoring passes from Kevin Riley as Cal blew the game open early in the second half.

Against the Huskies: Washington leads 47-37-4 in a series that dates to 1916. Cal has won five of the last six, but UW won last season, 37-23 at Husky Stadium. The Golden Bears have won the last two in Berkeley.

Washington connections: Two Cal players attended Washington high schools: senior LB Anthony Felder (Seattle/O’Dea H.S.) and freshman DT Trevor Guyton (Woodinville/Redmond H.S.). The UW roster includes six players from Northern California. UW offensive coordinator Tim Lappano coached at Cal from 1992-95 and secondary coach J.D. Williams coached there from 2002-2005. Cal assistant head coach Jim Michalczik is a Seattle native.

Scouting report: The Golden Bears average 32 points per game and allow 21.4. The latter figure is second best in the Pac-10 behind USC. Cal’s defense leads the league in interceptions (21), turnover margin, red-zone defense and opponents’ fourth-down conversion. Cal is second in pass-efficiency defense. … Best leads the Pac-10 in all purpose yards and in kick return average and is the No. 2 runner, trailing Oregon State’s Jacquizz Rodgers. Riley is seventh in pass efficiency and eighth in all-purpose yards. Riley has been starting ahead of Nate Longshore, but both have played. Felder is the No. 6 tackler in the conference.
