Could Sonny Dikes get shitcanned after 1 year?

I hate torture so I didn't watch the game, but Colorado borderline plungered them. I know the you need to give him time spiel, and Cal doesn't give a fuck about football, but do you think they cut bait?

It's Cal. What do you think?

I guess I already know because it's call but say they're a hypothetical middle tier team. There isn't much of a precedent set of firing a guy after 1 year but his team is pathetic. If it was, say, Arizona coming off 3-9, would they pull the plug? I think the majority of universities are too pussy because they don't want to look like football is more important than academics bullshit. A real football school would have no problem telling him to GTFO. But then again, I don't think a real football school would let their program lose 11 games in the first place.

The close win over Portland State saved his job.

With Cal catching heat over letting C average student athletes in, the AD and Pres may not want to catch the heat.

Dykes is in a better position than Sark right now.

Cal is going to be paying Jeff Tedford for a couple more years, plus servicing the debt on their stadium remodel. They really needed to get the coaching hire right. Not sure that they did. Still, hard to fire a guy in year one.

I would love for Cal to fire him to show that even fucking Cal takes football more seriously than Washington.

Still blows my mind how a school like Cal can be this awful and have been awful in general for so long.

Not a chance. The culture needs changing. They are young.

He deserves 6 years.

They should hire Losingham if they actually want to rebuild "doing things the right way".
