Re: Coaching Hot Seat
It makes sense from the fact that there's some familiarity between the two, but I don't see it happening.

Re: Coaching Hot Seat
I was wondering how long Cal was going to put up with mediocrity. But its hard to know how Cal would define "success." Minimum 8-9 wins a year?

Is Jonathan Smith next, or will MSU decide to give him one more year?

Re: Coaching Hot Seat
I wonder if he bolts for the UCLA job. Seems like either Smith or FSU DC Tony White would be their big targets?Greenblood wrote: Sun Nov 23, 2025 5:21 pm I was wondering how long Cal was going to put up with mediocrity. But its hard to know how Cal would define "success." Minimum 8-9 wins a year?

Who does everyone think would be Cal's targets?

Re: Coaching Hot Seat
Cal should stick with Rolovich. The guy was impressive at WSU. Glad to see him back in the mix.

Re: Coaching Hot Seat
And surely no one will suggest that, if Lupoi were to depart (which I definitely do not expect), that we should consider Wilcox for DC.

Re: Coaching Hot Seat
I know it’s not college but Chip was fired, don’t think he’s to blame, he’s more of a scapegoat for Pete Carroll, but never felt like that was a good move on Chip’s part to leave Ohio State for the Raiders.

Re: Coaching Hot Seat
What? The guy was 5-6 at WSU with wins over OSU (x2), Portland State and some mediocre Cal and Stanford teams. Lost at home to Utah State in year 2.Phalanx wrote: Sun Nov 23, 2025 6:53 pm Cal should stick with Rolovich. The guy was impressive at WSU. Glad to see him back in the mix.
Cal can do better if they actually want to put effort in. They are a great school in a football hotbed state, if they want try in football for the first time in a decade they could easily succeed in a weak ACC.

He did good things at Hawaii, and was 4-3 at Wazzu in his first real season. He has potential for sure.frogsnouts wrote: Mon Nov 24, 2025 11:08 amWhat?

Re: Coaching Hot Seat
If he is their coach next September it will be his first time coaching in almost 5 years (minus this one-off interim spot against SMU this weekend). If Cal wants to run that they can cross their fingers and hope he still has it, I dont think that makes any sense for a P4 team.UOducksTK1 wrote: Mon Nov 24, 2025 12:39 pmHe did good things at Hawaii, and was 4-3 at Wazzu in his first real season.

Re: Coaching Hot Seat
We'll see. Wilcox had 2 winning seasons at Cal in his 9 years coaching there. I imagine Rolovich could do better than that.

What makes you imagine that? Like what's the thought process?UOducksTK1 wrote: Mon Nov 24, 2025 3:28 pm We'll see. Wilcox had 2 winning seasons at Cal in his 9 years coaching there. I imagine Rolovich could do better than that.
