I have no inside knowledge, but given what we have seen this year I'm gonna say it look likely he was pushed out. Good!

I think they came to a negotiated settlement that allowed Knowlton to save face publicly, but have a nice parting gift for leaving as well. The important thing IMO is having a plan for who and what comes next.

No inisde info but this seems to have been in the works for a bit. Hopefully Lyons has a working list and a plan.

Either pushed or had some pride left to not want to be relegated to persona non grata, as per the "run of play" as it were. Let's go Riverboat!

Should Rivera take that job or would he be better a Football GM to focus on the program?

At the very least, he should have a strong input on JK's successor.

From the release, what does this mean?

Chancellor Lyons also announced that he will use this period of transition to put in place a new leadership structure. He has appointed current Deputy Athletic Directors Jay Larson and Jenny Simon-O'Neill to be the new co-directors of Cal Athletics.
I would assume that is interim, but that would normally be made clear.

There are other sources that make it clear that the co-ADs are interim only.

Shareef Abdul-Rahim as AD, please. Rivera heads the football program. Abdur-Rahim heads BB and all other sports.

I'm not clairvoyant but I'm 100% sure this means we're going undefeated and winning the national championship this year

The press release that "going forward Justin Wilcox will report directly to GM Ron Rivera" makes it pretty clear that Larson and Simon-O'Neil will have nothing to do with FB.

Seems like we should get a GM for men's basketball and an "administrator" for all the non-revenue sports.

Maybe it could be basketball in general since the women's game seems to be on the rise as a money maker.
