This. If Wilcox was going 9-4 every year at Cal, I could get behind it. He’s not. He hasn’t had one good offense in his time there either.RaceBannon said:This whole Wilcox thing is everything that is wrong with coaching searches and why most end in failure
ADs hire people they like and no and aren't a risk even if they fail. Media supports coaches they like and attack coaches that get on their wrong side
Coaches hire assistants that they like to drink with
When we were doing Ty's office I was hanging around and walked in on a bunch of assistants just playing grab ass while the program burned. I'd call them frat boys but like me they probably couldn't get in a frat.
At one time we documented the "great" James assistants and how bad they were when they weren't his assistant.
Other than Mora not SR and Pinkel not a lot of them had much success.
Wilcox could win at Cal if he was any good. Erickson won at Oregon State

You’d be surprised at the number of dork fraternities out there. You just wood.RaceBannon said:This whole Wilcox thing is everything that is wrong with coaching searches and why most end in failure

They laughed me off the board at dawgman suggesting Sark could replace Tyrone. Took a lot of shit for that one. Ftg’s

Don't worry, I'm sure the next OC Wilcox hires will be the one that turns this around

Is Kimmy still ride or die for Hopkins, too? Dialed in.
Nothing like losing as an 18pt favorite at home to drive home why letting a failed coach blow out his staff/roster never fucking works.

Wilcox
Pros:- He's not Lake
- He built a better culture than Petersen at Cal
- Low floor - based on what he did at Cal pre-COVID, doubt he would ever have a losing season at Washington
- The defense will always be good
- Evan Weaver as LB coach?
- Unexciting - this gets no one to buy tickets to games
- He lost to Lake - but didn't Petersen lose to Willingham AND Sark?
- He's struggling in a Pac-12 that is as bad as it has ever been
- Low ceiling - he's put a decent amount on tape and if he was an elite coach he would have already popped and he hasn't
- His offenses were always Donovan-level bad. Like always.
- Any talk of him being able to beat Oregon or nearly beat Oregon. Oregon DGAF about playing Cal and aren't up for that game every year. Wait till he has to play Oregon when there's a W on the helmet. It's also like how Wilcox was going to stop the Chip Kelly offense because he did it at Boise State then got raped every year at UW.
Cohen probably thinks he's hawt - He's not Lake

Wilcox is a single. We need a fucking home run.

Not even a base hit. A bunt to advance a runner from 1st to 2nd.JoeEDangerously said:Wilcox is a single. We need a fucking home run.
I also don’t think there is any legitimacy to the rumor. Just Wilner getting clicks & doing a solid for his buddy (giving him leverage against cal if nothing else). -
He’s a strike out. If we hired a new coach and he was DC, fine.JoeEDangerously said:Wilcox is a single. We need a fucking home run.
