BERKELEY – Travers Family Head Football Coach Justin Wilcox announced Sunday that offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave and offensive line coach Angus McClure have been relieved of their duties, effective immediately. Both were in their third season on the Golden Bears' coaching staff.
"I felt these changes to our coaching staff were needed and made them with the best interest of our football program in mind," Wilcox said. "We thank Bill and Angus for their contributions and the investments they made in Cal football, and we wish them all of the best in their future endeavors."
The duties Musgrave and McClure were previously responsible for will be handled by current members of the coaching staff for the remainder of the 2022 season.

So let me get this straight: We have no designated Offensive Coordinator, Special Teams Coordinator, or Offensive Line coach, right?

Doesn't Greatwood need to be on staff to work with the players?

Well there's an interim spot open on the staff now for that position.

I have suggested for weeks that AT (Aristotle Thompson), our RB coach, would best know the full offense. Chyst would know the OL blocking, maybe, with an assist from Saffell if he i allowed to coach. Greatwood, who I think would be promoted to a full coach, could call the plays from the press box, but does he know our play lingo yet. I don't know. I'm just guessing what makes sense to me. I have zero experience on this subject..Alkiadt said:southseasbear said:

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.
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:

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.

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.

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.

Don't you think he'd need to know the complete playbook and all the terminology just to even be able to communicate to the sidelines in a timely fashion? No they'll use Geep most likely, as he's called plays before.
I would not be surprised if Justin has already had multiple inquires to interview for the job now that it's public. This will be done very quickly to be in place for the portal transfer dates.
Lets have some pitch outs and passes over the middle to the tight end.calumnus said:Alkiadt said:calumnus said:KoreAmBear said:Interim maybe. But Wilcox has to hit a home run now.

Paws has been with the team every week all year. He references the playbook and the terminology in the broadcasts, so I am pretty sure he has a copy.
However, agree that Geep is the more likely choice. I had thought his only experience as OC was 1999 with the Chargers, but I now see he was also the Niner OC in 2015 under Tomsula, when the Niners had one of the "worst offenses in team history."
Niner fans can fill us in.
I'd almost rather see if one of the young guys, Toler or Thompson, is up to it.
Also, there is a lot of Musgrave's playbook that can be discarded.
