"The administration has been incredibly patient with a coach who hasn’t produced a winning conference record."

Wilcox is a good guy, but that may be part of the problem.

Exactly this. It is a catch 22. Just as much as the “administration” supposedly hinders Wilcox, Wilcox also benefits from it by getting more time to try to win and the benefit of the doubt because he “gets Cal” and says all the right things.
I think he's diplomatically expressed his frustration with the administration a couple of times (at least if you listen to the tone, and not just read the quote), and things have leaked through the media… But yeah it's not like he's badmouthing the idea of high academic standards and instead spins it toward the "OKG" type lines.
