Won't matter much who the next OC is, it will matter much who the next OL coach is.

While tardy, this was a good time to fire these 2 jabronis. Now Cal can start reaching out to other schools for permission to speak with candidates for OC and OL. Good move by Wilcox albeit a year too late.

I don't agree with a year too late. Musgrave deserved another chance after starting during COVID. But he did NOT take advantage of said chance.

MusgraveтАЩs system was antiquated and outdated, especially when compared to the modern college game. He lacked the personnel to implement and run it effectively, namely professional-caliber football players, as that is how you win with this style.

While he was never getting fired after just two seasons, one of them being the lost 2020, COVID nonetheless had nothing to do with his failure.

I'm not saying it had anything to do with his failure, I'm saying that you can't judge a man on a season like that. But that was a free year where he could have evaluated how much his offense would fail with Cal's level of talent, and instead he doubled down.

A new QB is probably needed as well, GEATтАж
