First off, I'd almost eliminate anyone who is riding on the coattails of one superb quarterback or running back. It doesn't tell me anything that a guy coached McCaffrey, or Nix, or Penix, other than that he can get out of the way. That's not to say they couldn't be good, but they sure require a lot more scrutiny. And for the guy that hasn't put together a complete gameplan, where is he going to find that on our staff? No one will complete you here, dude. The UTSA guy listed first sounds great, as does Troy Taylor. The Bay Area is technically the southwest, btw.
I like Brennan Marion--young, inventive mind who's turned around offenses at multiple stops. Has Bay Area ties as a Juco player at DeAnza and HS coach in Vallejo. Hiring him might keep Cal's top skill position players from jumping into the portal.
It is difficult to imagine or believe that anyone on this list could be worse than Musgrave so no matter who we hire should be an upgrade. Our play calling by committee was better than Musgrave.
I think we've been ignoring the elephant in the room: former player who coached at an academic* minded school, has very strong west coast ties, has recruited plenty of 4 and 5 star players, coached a couple of Rose Bowl teams... David Shaw! (sarcasm font not available)
Interesting list, ty WFC staff for compiling this list.
Meanwhile, schools are hiring HCs and we have yet to hear from Wilcox. The transfer portal opens up in early December (the 5th IIRC). Wilcox has to have an OC at minimum hired to keep some of the lads from transferring ~ if the hire is a good one.
In order to succeed in the near term, I think we need a system with quick qb reads in order to work around our porous OL. Also, I wouldn't mind something exciting and fun to watch. I'll take Troy Taylor (unlikely as that may be) or Brennan Marion.
Meanwhile, Oregon just brought in the other CO-OC from UTSA to replace Dillingham and the transfer portal players are already starting to come off the market. Waiting until it’s too late to attract talent would be on par for this Cal staff.
Jaydn Ott have any family members looking for a job?
If Wilcox asks to hire Chryst or Dooley, I think that should immediately trigger his dismissal.

I have a feeling that Wilcox will surprise us in a good way with the OC hire.

GETTHE BEST RECRUTER! FIRST THINGS FIRST! GERBEAR
Troy Taylor isnt coming, posters from multiple sites with ties to Sac St or the Sac area are independently confirming this.
Other posters think Huff from Washington is a candidate. Another interesting name was BJ Kinne
NO: Brady / Marion / Shephard / Chryst / Dooley / Moore / Frost ----- MAYBE: Kiesau / Adams / Sanford / L Taylor ----- YES: Mattox ----- HELL YES: T. Taylor

Unless there's some drama that comes out of it, you guys should add Marcus Arroyo to the list. He was just unexpectedly fired from UNLV.
