LOL.

I predict after win #7

It started when Oregon had a coaching opening last year.

Realistically, the guy hasn't even had a winning season yet.

USC is probably gonna need a new HC after this season so...

Ah yes...the SAD News Bears are back!!!

Wilcox is already leaving, w.t.f.?

Hey I told you 4th game of the second season he was gone!

THE SKY IS FALLING...run away!!!

Jesus, go troll some girl scouts.

When we field a winning team.

Let's have a winning season first before we cross that bridge.

Yeah, it's like the Raider fans worrying some NFL team may be willing to pay Gruden $200 million.

No, but Wilcox does have a winning record at Cal so far over two seasons: 8-7

Why would Wilcox leave? He has facilities. He has backing from the AD and chancellor. The debt for Memorial has been parsed correctly and it's no longer a ever present and crushing threat. The debt for SAPHC is manageable. He has his guys in. He's likes the Bay Area (did he grow up in the B.A. while his father was a 49er?)....and getting a pay bump isn't as hairy as it was in the past.

Sure some people look at Cal as a stepping stone. I don't see it that way any longer now that many of the over riding problems aren't as threatening. Wilcox has to win. I think he sees what Tedford saw...this ain't a bad place at all. It's California and the Bay Area and he's getting paid well, if not at the same levels as others but that can happen.

So funny

I wonder if a place like Cal is advantageous for a coach like Wilcox, a single guy in his 40s.

I have no idea about his personal life. Nor do I care.

At Cal, he can work hard and live anonymously without anybody bothering him or caring about whenever he does whatever he does in his private life.

In a small college town, however, he would be scrutinized whatever he does. He can't really get away. Because he'll be well-known everywhere.

I think the same goes for fellow single Pac-12 coach Chip Kelly, who gets to enjoy the anonymity of Los Angeles.

Along with the diverse culinary scene. Good lord I thought Chip was supposed to be a stickler for nutrition. Maybe he is just a Lasorda type.

No one in Eugene knew that Chip had been married and divorced, apparently, so he's pretty good at being anonymous wherever he goes.

Maybe it would be a different story at one of those SEC schools with insane fans who send out FOIA requests for phone records just to have ammunition to accuse the head coach of having an affair.

That's more a product of being in a small media market, where the reporters are more worshipful. Once he headed into NFC East, where the papers include The New York Times and Washington Post, his past was going to catch up to him.

I'm talking about being around people, hanging out. If Wilcox was head coach at Oregon, and was eating dinner with a woman, it would probably be on Instagram. In Berkeley? Probably not.

Chip dated (might still be dating, for all we know) a woman who was (maybe still is) a University of Oregon employee, and it still didn't generate a buzz in Oregon AFAIK.

So are you a Cal fan or not ?

When he has another losing season.

What does your question have to do with what Hanky posted?

Really dumb thread. Really dumb.

Time to lock this bs thread

Amen, but this is turning out to be a great dipstick litmus test.

Probably a dumb thread as posted above, but I like what is happening with this coaching staff, and I also like to be pro active about everything in life. Do we give him more now? Probably not. Perform. But my goodness, let us be ready, for I think good things are happening. Tis' like a momentum stock on IBD that has just had a cup and handle confirmation but short of a buy point. Not now, but you damn well better be ready or you gonna miss out.

With a redshirt freshman at QB, apparently no difference makers on offense, not very many difference makers on defense, and an OL that so far has been disappointing, it is far more likely that Cal is going to shi!t the bed the second half of the year -- as they too often do after starting 3-0 -- than turn into some dream team.

Comparisons to 1991 --thankfully I haven't seen too many -- are laughable. That 1991 team had 3 absolute stud offensive lineman, the most clutch Cal QB of recent history, Russell fricken White, Sean Dawkins, Willard, Zomalt, etc etc etc etc. And I'm sure I'm forgetting somebody else awesome.

In addition, it is worrisome that Wilcox can't seem to sign a player with four or five stars after his name. I like Wilcox a lot and hope he succeeds. A win over Oregon would be VERY refreshing. Let's revisit this question after the season ends.

Always a possibility. Chase's career might be his arc here. Classic year 3-4 moment looming.

we now have a winner for the most asinine thread...

Cal = Only fan base in case college football that worries about losing their coach after one 5-7 season.

Actually I seem to recall a similar thread to this after Wilcox won his first game last year.

It reinforces my opinion that Cal fans are losers.

---

Didn't we lose Mariucci after one 6-6 season, and ended up with Holmoe?

---

. 3-5 in the PAC-10 though!

And to satisfy Okaydo, we ended up with Holmoe (DC of the worst defense in the country) instead of OC Hue Jackson because the Niners took Mooch after Hue had already agreed to be the OC at USC. Wish we hired Hue instead.
