Just turned the game on, looks about what I would have expected. But no matter, Cal played hard against USC last week, so we should be eternally proud! Or at least that's what I've read all week on this forum.

Ok let's talk about this realistically
Let's say football wins 3 games and basketball gets to 6 wins (seems about right at the moment), would that be enough to get her to consider firing knowlton?
I feel like we would need multiple seasons of that kind of ineptitude for knowlton to get fired. And if that happened, no one (not even sebastabear) is going to be around to see that happen.

Coach Smith was smart enough to hire Coach M, as his OL coach. He had some strong OL's at Cal. He did Inherit some unbelievable talent, but the kids were fundamentally sound. Smith is smart and understands ORGST., their culture and needs. He has done a great job.
He also has 25 OL on the roster. Brings on lots of big kids as PWOs and gets them in a strength training program and sees what happens. Some guys end up on the DL.
He is an offensive minded coach with a better defense than Wilcox has, all while doing worse in the recruiting rankings.

We stink. We just don't have the players and Wilcox doesn't know how to get them
OSUs players are not significantly better than Cal's. They have been behind us in recruiting rankings. We have 4 star players.
The HUGE difference is in coaching and player development.

Those STAR ratings dont meet the EYE TEST.
The Beavs clearly have a TON MORE TEAM SPEED.
You cant coach that.

Transfer recruiting is still recruiting. Transferring players don't just show up on the doorstep; they have to be identified, scouted, and recruited.oski003 said:calumnus said:Gkhoury2325 said:

I can't speak to their recruiting rankings but 7 of their 11 starters on offense are transfers. Coach M is a good OL coach who can't recruit. He is in heaven. Also, 5 of their 11 starters on D are transfers.

I think it has to go beyond wins and losses. It is the fiscal irresponsibility in the contract extensions. It is his misconduct in the McKeever case dismissing reports of abuse and racism from swimmers and their parents then uovingcMcakeever a big raise and contract extension. It is that he is obviously not qualified and in over his head and a bad fit for Cal at this critical time in the history of Cal athletics.

With players now able to transfer without sitting out a year, recruiting transfers is much more important than it used to be, and coaching staffs that don't do a good job of bringing in good transfers to fill needs on their team are falling short in an important component of recruiting.
Looks like Oregon State's staff has done a good job of using the transfer portal to fill needs on their roster.

Transfers don't count in recruiting rankings and more than half their starters are transfers.
