I've been a big supporter of Coach Wilcox from day one because I believe he brought a lot of experience and good ethics to the program - and I still appreciate that. I would love to see him get out of this rut but my biggest complaint is his inability to see a problem and fix it quickly. He sticks with the same people (both players and coaches) for far too long and it ends up doing a lot more damage over time. He's a bit lost right now.

We should have one of the top three OLines in the Pac12 right now based on experience and coaching time - we definitely do not have that. After 5 years, our QB should be the #1 rated QB in the league, he's far from that. Our DB squad should be unparalleled in the P12 after Alexander and Wilcox, they're not. Do we even need to discuss special teams? The recruiting apparently has not been producing the depth and talent needed, and we've lost a lot of talent to transfer.

This is a serious coaching issue.

We have a serious coaching problem, especially on offense. During Wilcoxs 5 years at Cal, we haven’t produced one offensive skill player or OL who is good enough to be selected in the NFL draft. It is year 5 and none of our current offensive players look like they will be drafted. Garbers, Brooks, none of the WRs will be drafted. Talk about poor coaching and player development.

Yeah I thought he was the golden boy who would turn the program around. He seemed to be doing that but 2020 was tough (OK, blame covid but that doesn't absolve staff from mistakes) and 2021 has started out on a sour note. Need to right the ship and fast.
