Not sure if he'd return to Cal from ucla but would love to see former WR coach Burl Toler III return to Cal. Burl was also Recruiting Coordinator while at Cal.

With all the dropped passes, it's hard to distinguish the role of coaching (i.e. Cefalo) vs quality of the WR corp. So is this really a "significant" loss? I trust Tosh and Somerville can figure it out.

I felt our WRs were terrible, but catching is such a basic thing that I expect the players to be able to do it. Not really something the coach needs to teach how to do it.

Patience. We need a whole room full of WRs who can offer JKS multiple targets who can consistently and reliably catch his well placed bullets. New coaching in the WR room is not a bad thing.

Transition time. Good luck at Southern Mississippi Coach Cefalo.

for anyone who has ptsd from ott's "commitment to return", the last day JKS can transfer is 1/16

I’m completely confident he is onboard with the direction of the program and support upper management has provided, and continues to provide. And we have a bowl that Matters!! Everbody has skin in the game. It’s an early job interview for Rolo…critical for Cal from a local(HI) and national recruiting standpoint, an opportunity to get positive national media coverage…this is the start of the process for potential transition to the Big 10. I’m predicting alot of passion from the Boy’s and a decisive victory. GO BEARS!!

Nice opportunity for him. I don’t guess retaining him was part of our plans.

De Jesus was great but receiving wasn't our strength by a long shot. Best of luck to him and I hope we get a solid replacement.

Good luck Coach!

That said, I have every confidence that Tosh can find someone amazing, particularly with JKS as the QB. I’m not worried.

Outside of Jesus, our wide receiver core was pretty mediocre if not outright bad. Without most of those dropped passes we would’ve had a better record and potentially saved Wilcox job. So in the long run, maybe that was a good thing??
