I don’t really care about making coaching changes any more. It’s obvious Musgrave is gone at the end of the year and Wilcox will get a 3rd swing to find an OC.
What needs to happen is Chancellor Christ needs to fire Knowlton. Knowlton has enjoyed more institutional support than any of his predecessors (coaching salaries, stadium debt, etc) and it’s resulted in him botching the Wilcox extension, flubbing the mark fox hire, and being caught with his pants down on conference realignment. A half full student section on a 65 degree 12:30 kick off against a top 10 team should be enough evidence.
Jim is running the athletic department into the ground and every day he’s at the helm we’re closer to the mountain west.
Positive signs from Millner. Decisive, good arm, showed some wheels…absolutely don’t care if it came in garbage time v. 2nd teamers. Get the kid more reps - the ball needs to be out a whole lot quicker than Jack Plummer gets it.
Cal is likely to to go 1-8 in conference play whether its Plummer starting or Millner. That old argument that "he (Plummer) gives us the best chance to win" is completely moot here. Cal has lost four games in a row to very bad, average and good teams with Plummer at the helm. So please thank Mr. Plummer for his service and encourage him to still be a team player with a clipboard in his hand. It's time to have Kai Millner start the rest of the year to give him valuable experience for the future of Cal football.
Millner is going to get the shit kicked out of him in the same way that Pat Barnes did in 1993 when starting QB Dave Barr went down with a shoulder injury. The experience that Barnes gained in that true freshman season undoubtedly helped him when he had a prolific year a few years later under Mooch and led Cal to a bowl game.
Oregon killed us today with the swing passes and underneath routes. Just line up in a 11 formation, send the wide-outs deep, then a short throw to the back or late releasing tight-end with lots of run of catch yards. We had no answer for it, zero half time adjustments.
Millner had a great smile and looked like he was having a lot of fun. He may mesh better with his frosh class than Plummer. Small sample size but give him a shot next week if Plummer is injured or can't move the team.
From what I saw of Milner, even in garbage time, he deserves a shot.
Let’s see how he does against USC and the rest of the schedule. He could get some valuable game experience for next year and maybe even give us some positives for the rest of the year.
He has a quick and accurate release, strong arm, good mobility and looks comfortable in the offense.
Millner looked very good, but it was garbage time and Oregon was trying to run out the clock. But, still I think he deserves a start. What have they got to lose? He's probably going to play better than Plummer.
I just finished watching Stanford-UCLA and Cal has a good chance to beat Stanford, which really stinks again, but not UCLA. I think Stanford's pass protection is even worse than Cal's, so I'm saying the Bears finish 4-8. Wilcox has to improve the 2023 recruiting class, currently ranked 90th if there is any hope for improvement. That's San Jose State level and the Spartans could be better than Cal and Stanford. They should both have to play them, not UC-Davis or Colgate.

May the Kai Milner era begin.
Millner should start the remainder of the season. If he doesn’t, Wilcox should be fired with cause.
Thanks Rick.

MILLNER BEARS INTEREST
JUSTIN BAKER TOUCHDOWN MAKER

CAL FAILED TO SNOW BO OR FIX NIX!!

Well Wilcox already said Plummer is the starter next week
We played OREGON not Oregon State. Proofreader on staff???
Millner was 8/11, not 13.
