BERKELEY — New Cal football coach Tosh Lupoi was in attack mode on his first day on the job.

Lupoi used the word over and over Friday during his introductory news conference to describe how he will approach everything from recruiting to hiring a staff to keeping his players on task academically, to winning football games.

“I do it a lot,” he said when asked about applying the word to nearly all things. “It’s how I wake up, how I’m programmed, how I’m wired. We’re not going to be sitting around tables doing a lot of complaining, I can promise you that. It’s going to be about attacking solutions.

“I love using descriptive and visual words and I learned some of that in my Master’s education program here at Cal Berkeley.”

Lupoi, 44, returns to Cal to become a head coach for the first time
