Co-DC Heyward will take over.going4roses said:
I wonder who they will get to replace him.
I see they just filled there WR coach position also...
I'm pretty sure he studies offense for a livingBear19 said:
What does he know about offense? Just wondering.
Given how much they were paying him, I wonder if they figure they can get the same results at a quarter of the price who also recruits.tequila4kapp said:
They were desperate for improved D play just a year or so ago. I'm shocked they got rid of him. There really must have been some behind the scenes stuff going on.
Could've agreed to a lower buyout, depending on the circumstances.AEM80 said:
That's the thing. They won't be paying less. Not in the short term. The new DC gets a big bump in pay and they'll still be paying Levitt. Has to be a lot more to the story. I could see them getting rid of him at the end of his contract. To do it with two years left is pretty shocking.
You wonder what decisions Wilcox would have made re: the offense if he had this type of money to throw around.BearSD said:
It's probably about friction between Cristobal and Leavitt. They thought this might solve itself by Leavitt getting a head coaching job, but he didn't, so now he leaves with a wad of Uncle Phil's cash and either goes somewhere else as a coordinator or retires.

Yup. They're paying out a ton of money when you consider that it's only a coordinator they are buying out: The Oregon athletic department statement said, "The agreement will be funded by athletics entirely from private sources and has a maximum amount of $2.5 million, payable over multiple years and subject to reduction based on future employment."wifeisafurd said:You wonder what decisions Wilcox would have made re: the offense if he had this type of money to throw around.BearSD said:

They aren't exactly struggling with recruiting. He must have really screwed up.socaliganbear said:Given how much they were paying him, I wonder if they figure they can get the same results at a quarter of the price who also recruits.tequila4kapp said:

Don't laugh. It wouldn't be the first time Cal convinced a DC at Oregon to become an OC at Cal.okaydo said:
We should hire Leavitt as our new OC.

Denny Schuler went from defensive coordinator UO in 1992 to offensive coordinator Cal in 1993. The old joke we used to tell was "as an OC, Schuler made a great DC".
