    The best feeling is when you just do you every single day and then one day get rewarded in an unbelievable way. Thank you, Cal community, for the outpouring of love and support. I couldn’t be happier to be home. I’m honored to be your coach. Now let’s get to work! Go Bears!

    These are tough time times. Our players are going through a lot. An isolated college experience nothing like they imagined. Waking up early each day to stick a swab up their nose for testing. Minimal interaction with others. I need them to know I’m in this with them.

    You ever put your whole soul into a group and have them look at you and give you their whole soul in return? I’m new at this, but I’m guessing this feeling is one of the best feelings a head coach can have, win or lose. #willing #ilovethisteam

    Proud of Tara & her team. Inspired by Adia & her team. My vision: another from Tara’s coaching🌲& another black female in that spotlight when we get there. We have a long way to go! So did Tara and Adia at one point. Not afraid to say it. Not afraid to work for it. I want this!!

    I think one goal is to leave the game better than you found it. Mission accomplished, Tara. Thank you for everything. Enjoy the next chapter… 🐐

    When your kinda sorta first game as a head coach is in front of your mentor. 🙌🏾❤️

    Because this is easier than just giving @Kaepernick7 a legitimate workout or hiring more qualified Black head coaches/GMs. We don’t want songs. We want the opportunities we deserve. Stop it. 😏
