We want Wilcox reporting directly to Rivera, who would report to Lyons, completely excising JK from Cal Football. More broadly, we also just want JK gone. He should have been gone years ago.
Also, to clarify: Luck does not report to Stanford's AD. He reports to the University President.

But...would it not be completely strange to have your football coach operate outside the purview of the Athletic Department? Seems like a strange remedy given that football would still rely on AD logistics.
It would be strange -- but strange times are ahead for college sports in general. it doesn't seem to odd to have an individual that is directly under the chancellor at the same level as AD to handle football and basketball, the revenue-generating sports, and having an AD that manages everything else.
Not to mention JK has shown incompetence at the task at hand, so just from a pragmatic point of view I'd take it even if "strange".
Desperate times call for desperate measures. If Cal is not willing to eat Knowlton's buyout, then restructuring him out of responsibility is the next best thing.

100%.
Knowlton should be nowhere near Cal revenue sports.
OK. Thanks for clarifying the StanfUrd hierarchy.

The worst case would be RR reporting to JK.
I know who RR is. Who is AK? Did you mean JK?
Oops, yeah. No idea why I typed AK lol my bad
It's the AD and JK mixed into one
that's... that's probably exactly what my brain did. lol
Not sure why, but for some reason for a brief second I thought Rich Rod...
I think I'm just tired, lol

Typical for the bureaucratic mess that is Cal athletics ;-)
