The Pac 12 is very competitive this season so I don't think having one loss is going to keep us out of the conference championship game. However our national title aspirations took a hit today.

Easily the worst coached game I've ever seen. Be it in the Wilcox era or any era prior.

From the mid-first quarter to mid-second quarter we had empty set 1st and 10 on offense. For at least 5 possessions (no i'm not going back to count them). WTF??? Only to top that with 2nd and long with a RB (obvious pass situation)?? WTF?? Musgrave has to go. Hell, how many times did Plummer raise his hands in confusion while looking at the sideline. He KNEW the play calling sucked. We, while watching, called the next stupid play Musgrave was going to call. Musgrave has to go.

Defense, not much better. No pass rush on obvious rush downs. Defensive coaching / play calling was fucking horrid during this game.

The undersigned called it a Cal loss in the first quarter (see above on offensive play calling).

The coaching lost this game, plain and simple. Not complicated Cal fans. Wilcox has to fire a coach, in-season, to prove he is in charge of this program.

An example, how long has it taken Angus to stop playing vets or mixing up an OL? Answer: forever. Angus should be gone. Wilcox needs to manage his program more from a selfish prospective: "I like to be paid millions of dollars per year" versus loving his staff ad nauseum.

I don't believe in these assistants which will lead to a conclusion that the leadership (leader) isn't the right guy for the position.

Year 6 under Wilcox and we get a shit performance like that? Guy is worthless, and refuses to fire his underperforming position coaches. Head coach accepts mediocrity, and our worthless AD rewards mediocrity. Absolute fucking embarrassment.

The bowl game eligibility is very dicey. CU, hopefully Stanford… but another 5-7 or 4–8 year looking likely.

How much longer does Cal give Wilcox? 6 years in and the offense is as inept as ever and we have been surpassed by WSU and probably OSU at this point.

6 years and this program is stagnant under Wilcox. Recruiting is terrible right now. We need to fire the offensive staff and start over again for the 3rd time.

Fuck sake even San Diego State knows enough to fire its OC in-season. C'mon Wilcox?!?

So a question for the Wilcox die hards: are you content with the fact that in year 6, and after two OC's, Cal is SO much closer to being the worst team in the P12 than they are being the best?

Seriously, watching Colorado in Tucson - the Buffs could give the Bears O fits at Folsom...

Can we just elevate an AI as our play caller? Can we hire IBMs Watson to be our play-caller for a game or two?

That was an unpleasant regression from last week.

Why offense so bad over two coordinators. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in coaches meetings to see what the hell is said.
