I guess I have some maybe false confidence that will get addressed given Wilcox's pedigree. The offense remains more of a question for me in Spav's departure, and since that side of the ball has not been Wilcox's strong suit (to say the least). But that's maybe mitigated by have good leadership on that side of the ball returning (Ott and Mendoza) and overall personnel continuity (relatively).

Wilcox has historically struggled to win on the road, and it’s for various reasons that touch on all 3 facets of the game…I mean, if it’s not the O struggling to execute, it’s the D not tackling….or it’s special teams. I mean, it’s all over the map. Now, sure it is absolutely hard to win on the road. But in 7 years as a HC, his teams have consistently struggled to put complete games together, which is the biggest thing that gives me pause when I think of them going on the road and trying to win at Wake…
You have to be mentally tough to win on the road - his teams usually aren’t that…and it comes down to culture. Cal’s a program that makes a lot of excuses…

Why you gotta harsh my mellow with real talk Jimmer?! This is the offseason. It’s all rosy until September.
That’s fair, P…my bad. Cranky from the Super Bowl.
I do feel comfortable saying 7-5 with a bowl game for the Bears, and that feels delightful.
