Every time I watch one of these classic Wilcox struggles against FCS teams, I always get the feeling if we just swapped coaching staffs we'd have a significantly better team and save about $4m a year.


He built the team though. He's good at that. Good at making it a "family." Not good at strategy, prep, or game management. It's maddening. It's embarrassing, really. The stat card showing 8th year as head coach, and massive losing record says it all. Nowhere but cal is this ok.


Also built in large part by Cal Legends and us donors. Imagine if that extra $4m/year went toward the roster.

Wilcox has one of the best jobs in college football. Over 5 million a year and no pressure to win.


Great work if you can get it.

Offensive and Defensive line play completely inadequate so far.

We cant get close to the quarterback to save our lives. Imagine what we'll be against actual FBS Teams. Yup we "might" be a 2-3 win team. Every F-ing year.

What happened to defense being more aggressive.
well, no coach is going to come out and say "we're going to be less aggressive. we like to share our space, its less stressful for everyone" before a season

All the money they spent on the portal is wasted. May as well have flushed it.

Good news: we scored. Bad news: the defense is back on the field.

And the majority of fans on the board defend it. Find excuses. Blame the guy who was coach 8 years ago…

Three defenders holding onto a RB who looks like he weighs about 120 pounds, and the RB gets 6 yards anyway.

Davis QB has all day to throw and the defender commits PI.
