It's simply astonishing that we would hire another multi-year unemployed flameout that nobody else wants with a bad recruiter + hard ass to his players reputation. I get that we won't fire Wilcox because we're cheap, but do we have to let him completely trash the program before we finally get him out at a price we're willing to pay? Why does he get free reign to make obvious mistake after obvious mistake? This hire is going to be a portal disaster. Anyone can see that. Our program, or what little is already left of it, may never recover. So disappointing and depressing.



Walter you were spot on

Already the people who vigorously defended the hire are saying it can't be helped, this happens at every school, we can't compete, blaming the players, etc.

I found a couple of articles that indicate Rivera has expressed some interest in coaching his alma mater.

https://www.nfl.com/news/silver-ron-rivera-ready-to-roll-into-next-hc-job-0ap3000001092047

https://247sports.com/college/california/article/ron-rivera-next-coaching-job-2020-cal-golden-bears-comments-140202364/

Just in case people don't read the articles, the first article never mentions Cal or any college team in the context of a job that Rivera wants.

The second article says if Rivera was to coach at the college level it would be at Cal. It doesn't say he wants to coach at the college level and suggests the demand for him is at the pro level where he knows how to coach.
Which probably explains why the last time the Cal job was open and he was contacted, he didn't move forward. And FWIW, the job is not open currently.

Children, you can make all the requirements you want about politics or whatever turns you for coaching, but the harsh reality is that you are asking someone who is a very qualified coach to come to school with an historically underfunded program, that in the coaching profession is considered a horrible place to coach, has an AD that really has limited experience in managing a power conference programs, and a head coach who probably has one season to turn around a program or be terminated after many seasons of not being able to do so. So guess what children, we are going Nick Saban, and looking at the coach's talent level and ignoring the warts. Get over it.



"Children"? It should now be obvious we could have had Ron Rivera as our head coach last year much less this year.

I'm sure wifeisafurd is already over it, as only adults toss around ad hominem attacks in this forum.
