And I'm not talking about Wilcox being forced to retire.
No more outside of the box hires like Michael Williams, the original architect of Wilcox's fully guaranteed contract. No hiring athletic directors from mid-major universities. No prioritizing things like race, gender, or sexual orientation to virtue signal to the parts of the university that want athletics destroyed.
The pressure campaign to wrest control of the Athletic Department from Jim Knowlton cannot stop there. Left to their own devices, Cal will do the Cal thing and hire somebody who doesn't understand the modern demands of running a D-1 athletic program. We need someone who comes from a school that prioritizes the revenue sports, who knows how to fundraise and do donor outreach, and someone who has shown that they know how to run a proper marketing department. Anybody that can't fulfill all three requirements need not be interviewed.
