You've clearly blacked out the Holmoe years, but it's the worst I've seen in at least a decade.

When we faced Top 10 schedules, used to beat USC and UCLA and sent great players to the NFL?

TBF, $C and UCLA were not good then., either.

Holmoe was horrible, but he recruited better than Wilcox and played much tougher schedules in a much tougher conference. He lost to a Rose Bowl Stanford team. Wilcox loses to the worst Stanford team in decades. Taking strength of schedule into account, Holmoe's teams were better rated than Wilcox's have been, but why debate? Neither coach should have been extended after their initial contracts.

This is amazing. Stanford is so awful even I didn't see this coming.

Even 003 is going to finally decide it is acceptable to want a change.

Well, at least this will put the nail in Wilcox's coffin.

Really? Wilcox is the Rasputin of college football.

I don't think the donors will stand for a loss to Furd, especially THIS Furd team, and especially while playing a sloppy game like this. He's gotta be gone.

The donors? Who are they and how much do they give? I mean, if Calumnus is correct, there are no "whale donors". And if they've tolerated this for 8+ years, whats one loss to Stanfurd? I mean, I agree with you but, there's no one game that's gonna decide this. Especially since Rivera is on the sidelines "observing" Wilcox in action. Thank God he's there. lol

It's pretty obvious that the donor base was getting frustrated, given that Knowlton was pushed out and Rivera given full control after a revolt by the donors. So yes, we have donors with influence.

It's not just one game. Are you familiar with what the term "nail in the coffin" means? How about "last straw"? Heard of that one? That's what I'm talking about here.

Ok. So when do they pull the trigger? Before the meaningless bowl game or after?

You can't fire a coach after a bowl game, who are you going to get at that point? And there's no runway for whoever is hired to do anything in the portal.


you fire him TONIGHT. in the next hour

I fire him 4 years ago.

Bryan Harsin. haven't you been paying attention? He's got that Boise State pedigree. That's why we hired him.

We lost him well before this game. As soon as he starting throwing primarily to DeJesus a few games back, he knew he had to gtfo.

This is like playing ourselves

No, as hard as it is to believe, they are much worse. Sagapolutele will beat them. It's like a hoop team that can't make 3's….they get behind and they can't catch up. We get a lead, Furd is f@ucked.

Wow, you really know how to prognosticate in multiple fields. I thought your predictive brilliance was limited to politics.

After we lose to SMU Wilcox will have clinched his 9th consecutive losing conference season. Absolutely pathetic accomplishment, especially given the schedule

Whatever happens with JKS, he wasn't going to be around for more than another 2 years at best. Cal needs to make the program healthy for the long term, and that is about more than just one player.

There is no time to REBUILD or BUILD in the era of NIL. Unless we go full SMU and overspend it's not happening.

Ron is next to Wilcox if you haven't noticed, although that seems appropriate right

Yeah, but what if we keep Wilcox and we go 13-0 next year. What'll you say then huh? Huh? Huh?

Free board people are so damned impatient

I'm being sarcastic for anyone too upset to tell.

At least their GM is hyping up the team and playing to the emotions of the big game.

Cal has no fire. They have no way of creating momentum and they have no way of seizing it when they get it. When the other team gets momentum Cal just curls up in a ball and quits.

That's how we lost vs San Diego State. That's how we lost vs Duke. That's how we lost vs Virginia Tech. That's how we are about to lose vs Stanford.

One thing goes wrong then it all goes wrong and our coaching staff does nothing to prevent it.

With JKS a build is relatively easy, lose him and we're hosed unless Devin Brown can do some stuff, which I am sure he can but not program-changing like JKS

Blew up Auburn's offense, blew up our offense. #111 offense going into this game where we have scored 10 against a horrible Stanford team. Only Stanford was a worse rushing offense in FBS and they look 100% better than us.

The best case for building will be if we get a new coach who attracts good recruits, through the portal or otherwise.

I would argue that our OL has to be completely rebuilt. We need 3 WR at least.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cade is gone as well.

Forget Harsin for a second, he was limited but our offense has sucked for 9 years, with the exception of 2023 Spavital Bear Raid, and who hires the OCs?

i would love to have JKS for the new coach to build off of. he is amazing

but if keeping him means keeping wilcox too. then its not worth it. thats what we are saying
