The right thing to do at this point. Unfortunate that this didn't ever seem like a great fit. I for one, will not bash Wilcox. He had a undistinguished tenure, but he's a thoroughly decent person, from a family of distinguished individuals. He represented Cal with class and dignity, and I believe that he recruited the best players and people that he could. While I'm happy we're moving on, I sincerely wish him well in his future endeavors. I'm cautiously optimistic that Rivera will make a good hire, and that the football program, in his hands, has a better future.
I really fail to see why someone feels the need to come to the defense of someone who earned generational wealth from a public university. The world's #4 economy's highest paid public official, and yet you feel the "poor guy's getting dumped on and could use some support?"
Like the people in online comments sections who come to the defense of billionaires and multi-millionaires, defending their obscene wealth and income. Even if they were paid shills to defend them, it would be inane. But doing so free of charge? Mind boggling.
The guy will be paid TEN POINT NINE MILLION to get the hell out of town!* What a gig! Where do I sign up?!!!!
Rest assured, Wilcox needs and deserves no defending by any of us or the University. Sheesh!
*An absurd number for sure, but an absolute necessity in today's insane P4 coaching landscape, unfortunately.
