This is proof positive that what we perceive as reality is just some wacko fifth dimensional satire being performed by and for the benefit of beings we can't comprehend. No other explanation possible.

There has never been a guy in the history of the world who was less "all in" on NIL than Mark Fox. I was actually told by some donors I'd gotten to agree to give to California Legends that they reneged because he told them NOT TO donate. They subsequently came back (and donated) when Madsen was hired.

Completely and utterly baffling.
I'd made a promise to myself to never comment on Fox again, but I'm breaking it now. I think Fox did everything possible to get fired and trigger the buy-out. The total $ value of his contract should provide a comfortable retirement for any reasonable person, particularly if he planned to take any half-baked job to provide healthcare insurance, etc until eligible for Medicare. My evidence:

  • Produces a horrific record
  • Makes no effort to engage local media to enhance Cal's profile.
  • Repeatedly drives the best players off the team
  • Refuses to engage alumni donors
  • Actively submarines Cal's NIL efforts that could benefit the team

Fox wasn't completely incompetent. Incompetent employees try, but don't succeed. Fox chose to not perform parts of his job, basically daring Knowlton to fire him and pay the buy-out.
Fox in the words of our AD "had checked out" this past season since "He knew he was getting fired" Aaaah AD that is your responsibility to ensure the HC and staff are putting in the time/effort and follow up with the players. W/O going into the incredibly disappointing examples of the players 'checking out as well", lets leave it that the players had also thrown in the towel. The prior staff had No clue to what the players were doing and not doing. Fortunately, that is in the past and the current staff along with Coach Madsen are intimately aware of all the players schedules, living arrangements, nutrition intake and team chemistry building. Its very refreshing and encouraging to know that this staff is truly on top of each player's daily life/responsibilities etc.
JK should have fired him before the season ended if he knew that Fox had checked out. Ridiculous.
Seems as if JK also checked out.

The day dip sh*t Knowlton figured out that Fox had "checked out" he should have fired him, especially if it was in-season. Or did Knowlton figure it out the day he fired him?

I don't know. Knowlton last year extolled "Bill Musgrave's exciting offense" at halftime of the Colorado game when we had 1 first down and were down 0-3 to the worst team in the conference.

He is just terrible. Hopefully the investigation into his mistreatment of swimmers and mishandling of the McKeever allegations, plus his repeated fiscal malfeasance including our current situation, gets him fired for cause.

He is getting $millions from Cal to continue to do nothing. You would think there is a far more deserving and capable Georgetown basketball alum who is not a misanthrope.

And this was the guy that always talked about "doing it the right way" and complained about how all the other coaches were "ruining the game he loves" even as Georgia bag men were doing what Georgia bag men always have done. Now he will work with the Georgetown bag men to get money to the players?

I still can't get over the fact that he refused donor money. I really really can't.

The only thing more mind boggling than that factoid is that his boss - our AD - didn't immediately fire him for such behavior. Amazing. And not for nothing, but in case anyone ever wonders why the B1G may be balking at our alleged promises of being all in on revenue sports...our leadership has a tiny little credibility problem.

It would have taken an excuse away. He was all in on failure with excuses.

Or at least not give him an extension.

By the time Cal's investigation of Knowlton's misdeeds is over and recommendations are made, his contract will have reached the end of the 8-year extension. Cal doesn't move fast.

lol

Fox most recently served as the head coach of the California men's basketball program for the past four seasons. Leading up to his stint with the Golden Bears, Fox posted a 123-43 record in his first five seasons as a head coach at Nevada (2005-09) a run that included four conference championships, three invitations to the NCAA Tournament and two trips to the CBI Tournament. He then served as the head coach at Georgia for nine seasons (2010-18) and amassed a 163-133 overall mark while leading the Bulldogs to a pair of NCAA Tournaments and three National Invitation Tournaments. Between his departure from Georgia and his arrival at Cal, Fox spent the fall of 2018 with USA Basketball, serving as an assistant coach to Jeff Van Gundy for the World Cup qualifying team. He also assisted the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Summer League and professional development stints with coaches Brad Stevens, Gregg Popovich and Geno Auriemma, among others.

Or the many records he holds all by himself? Like most losses in a season. Most transfers by the previous year's leading scorer. Worst record in the country. Lowest scoring team in the country. And the record that will now never be broken: most PAC-12 losses by a Cal coach in a season (18). But you know who has second place? That would be Fox too with 17. Amazingly he got an extension after that.
