Shouldn’t take a home field advantage to not have a completely hopeless looking first quarter against an fcs opponent. This is year 7 of wilcox, the fanbase clearly doesn’t believe in his ability to fox this.
I get where you're coming from, but I don't think you can blame the fans here. When you look at all the top attendance programs, their schools generally put out a team that is at least watchable where there is hope that you can have a good season at the start of each year.
Cal is a program where we had success under Tedford once over a span of like 50 years and they think fans will continue to show up in droves just to hope that we don't have a sub .500 conference record for once.
The only thing exacerbating the situation imo, is an administration that continues to stick with a coach who can’t meet minimum expectations. I just can no longer blame fans who have simply seen enough. I agreed with your opinion for like the first six years of Wilcox, and I know we’re sitting at 2-1, but the last two games make me thinking we’re staring down another 3-4 win season. Hope I’m wrong.
The fact that he is even keeled makes Wilcox easy to like, but similar to Tedford, he does not seem to be a great motivator when they need a foot up their ass.
Agreed. I liked the even-keeledness too after a few seasons watching sonny have meltdowns on the sideline, but now I’m like good lord, is there any fire there? His press conferences sound like the same lifeless scripted coachspeak every week.
Having a semblance of a home field advantage might remedy this some.
I won’t miss a game but I absolutely understand why fan interest is at an alltime low.

Idaho was pretty good. Our defense has always (save last year) our strength and they picked us apart.
I get the frustration, I just don't think tuning out is the answer. It just exacerbates the situation and makes us look as if we don't give a crap.

He sure as hell has trouble picking OCs.
