Riley was the assistant coach and was close Jerry West at the time Westhead was fired. Even before his move from the broadcast booth, Riley was involved in advising the team - even before McKinney went down with the bicycle accident.KoreAmBear said:He has no time to learn or show in 2 games to kill it. Unfortunately it's not a great setup for Paws. This reminds me of the only time I saw something like this happen. Pat Riley was the commentator for Chick Hearn when Paul Westhead was fired by Magic midseason lol. Then Pat Riley suddenly became head coach. How did that happen?calumnus said:KoreAmBear said:Interim maybe. But Wilcox has to hit a home run now. He can't afford to fail so miserably as this is his last chance at OC before we are in buyout territory. And Paws would be too much of a risk.calumnus said:KoreAmBear said:Alkiadt said:KoreAmBear said:calumnus said:
So Chryst is officially the play caller? With maybe an "advisor" in the press box?
His dad?
You mean his brother, Paul? No.
Greatwood has been the only consultant. I'd assume he's the acting OLine coach for the next two games.
Lol I thought that was dad.
In any case I want us to make an all in run at Troy Taylor for OC. Being that it's Cal I think he'd do it.
I want a thorough search in the off season, with Taylor at least consulted and considered as almost a Co-HC.
However, he has an undefeated team on his is hands.
As long as we have an interim position I'd like to see what Paws could do. He knows the team and the playbook intimately. Chryst is safe, another failed NFL OC, but Paws would be a a high upside chance. If we beat Stanford and then UCLA, maybe he wins the job? He would be a great recruiter for Cal, that is for sure.
I am only talking about Paws as interim, for two games, then back to the booth.
Unless he absolutely kills it.
The search in the off-season needs to be thorough.
