His incentive would be to build a true legacy at the university instead of shirking away with a buy-out of his contract after he gets fired. Once that happens, he will never be a head coach again IMO.

Sorry. got cut off. Wilcox should do that because he supposedly loves Cal and wants to make it work here. Stranger things have happened.

Agree. Plummer has a bad leg and is essentially a statue back there. Millner's mobility gives another wrinkle to the offense.
