Statistically this looks like a game Cal dominated. They were stung by their own misfires and a few big plays (especially the flip pass by the punter). Defense again has nothing to show for a mostly shutdown performance, limiting H-M Williams to only five completions.
Cal is toast until they get a new AD and HC. I hope next year they completely bottom out, then maybe, just maybe, they'll move on from Knowlton and Wilcox like they should have done years ago.
Wilcox treats bowl games like a fall practice try out. Last year and again this year. Very discouraging to watch 2nd and 3rd stringer in there…..trying their best but what message is Wilcox sending? I guess I don’t understand the new NIL era of college football
His HS recruiting was/is a disaster. NIL was actually a net positive for him the previous few seasons and helped fill a lot of HS recruiting gaps and misses by Wilcox and staff.
This game was so bad tonight, I wouldn’t be surprised to Ott and others enter the portal now.
Only watches the last 5 mins. of the game (I knew it was going to be terrible) and I have to say it’s suprising Caminong is a scholarship player, with all due respect. I mean, what the hell happened. Also, the team looked dejected and quit on the game. The team’s attitiude was at a low voltage, maybe it’s emblematic of their coach? Man, I’m happy the season is over, Cal football needs to go back to the drawing board and come up with answers yesterday.
I am... but it wasn't all that long ago that I still held out a little hope for him and the program. Now, it would take a heck of a transfer class to have even hope that next year could equal this year, never mind improvement.
Yes, it would have been nice to stay for one more game but, We don't know why. Except He was getting his *#" handed to him every game and took the hits He didn't need to take
Rogers riding a bike. I believe this will be his last game. If UNLV scores a TD don't put him in especially if he can injured even more. He is a running QB that can increase the possibility of getting hurt

This is your last chance to rate the Bears this season. Go Bears!

They may not even need to bottom out to move on from Knowlton, which hopefully gets the ball rolling.

The new NIL era is a disaster. Wilcox’s inability to navigate it is a larger issue.

We've set the bar low for the incoming offensive coaches. If they do anything positive, they'll look like miracle workers.
TFW your coach quiet quits but actually haha you can’t afford to fire him

good night
Thanks for the informative, entertaining chat, all.
CB See everyone in bball threads
Goodbye to all unless we catch each other during a BK game down the road. Happy Holidays
sure impact players from CHINA!!
And look at us. We can’t even break 1,000 comments.
Why throwing to the outside???? Should have sent some down the middle
And it end with a whimper
Ott frustrated. He needs to portal
Honestly, he should. Maybe he can recover from his injuries, regain his form, and have success behind a solid offensive line and coaching staff.
Week 1 of the Fall 2025 season: GAMEDAY?
Unless we get some impact players and a new oline from the portal, next year looks bleak.
Are there coaches in the portal
it's not over yet, we still have a 0.4% win probability!
ok, now less than 0.1%, but still, there's a chance....
everyone head for transfer portal!!! this program stinks sooooooooo bad
Ouch
I heard a Woooo from whatever crowd is still in the building
Would the best division 2 players be able to make the Cal team?
The absolute best D2 players would make any D1 team. Some of them wouldn't start on a lot of teams.
Not sure why Cal keeps using "play action" on these throws. I don't think UNLV is honoring the run.
It is too late now but, they should have handed off at least onc. Maybe they would break one off
Caminong looks like an actual qb about 20% of the time.
Martin is gonna be sore tomorrow
Throw to who?
just blitz every play. Easy to defend
Just run it 3 times then punt
With this loss Winless Wilcox is now:
43-50 overall
23-43 conference record
1-3 in bowl games
Yet, somehow he has earned the right to come back and coach for a 9th consecutive season.
It’s honestly disgusting.
not fair. Gotta give him a 3-season Mulligan for covid.
And another 3 season mulligan for Mendoza transferring.
Lack of Funding + Knowlton - NIL donations from fans = bad coaches/coaching
Wilcox is a symptom, knowlton is the disease.
Everyone on this thread is guilty. I assume you are giving a boat load to NIL?
I am giving as much as I can
Also going to equal a very bad 2025 season.
Give Wilcox an extension! Stay the course... Good times are just around the corner!
Ha Ha !!! Not sure if u are joking
I am... but it wasn't all that long ago that I still held out a little hope for him and the program. Now, it would take a heck of a transfer class to have even hope that next year could equal this year, never mind improvement.
We need money. Won’t happen otherwise.
hard to get money if the program has the kind of momentum that Cal's program has at the moment. I mean, are you inspired to give?? I thought not.
Wilcox is going to coach Cal for 10 or 11 seasons. I am at peace with that.
What happened to Ulave in the second half??
Did he get injured???
Snap count?
I luv all the deep passes tonight. Wait. None.
this is wilcox idiocy in a nutshell: play backups and not try, but still call TOs at the end?
Explain to me why we as alumni come to games like this?
No points in second half
Harris was only in for two series.
Someone had to say it out loud…
Night from the East guys. Next year.
Next year.
This school deserves a better coach
The players, alumni and fans deserve a better coach.
Caminong is not a P4 caliber player, unfortunately.
Few true freshmen are. He might be playable in two years.
Nope, not G5 either.
Hope he's a good student.
Stahp
At what point in this game did Wilcox just give up? Really pathetic.
Before they landed in LA? If you can’t convince your best players to play, are you any kind of coach?
After Harris got hurt.
Why is no one ever open?
Because the defense only has to cover for .6 seconds before the pass rush gets the sack.
blitz a young QB every play and he won't have time to find the open guy
Throwing in double coverage all night
Pick city
I'm even more pissed at Fernando.
Yes, it would have been nice to stay for one more game but, We don't know why. Except He was getting his *#" handed to him every game and took the hits He didn't need to take
Ott is turning -5yd plays into -1yd plays
Miracle this game is this close
MOAR ENDRIES
Garbage Time (to pad the stats)
Nice ball
What an embarassment.
