Oh come on, Coach, give me a break…yes, I have coached and have been watching football for over 40-years, tho that has nothing to do with what 8 years of data and the eye test have shown us to be true regarding this head coach and his offense.
Noticing and commenting on what is obvious to anyone that has been paying attention to Cal football in the Justin Wilcox era does not make me a negative person…just an observant one. And you hardly need to be a student of the game to see that Cal’s offense has been a poorly coached unit for the entirety of the Wilcox era, save for a couple of 3-game stretches..
I will only agree with Jimmy on the fact that our offense has yet to complement our defense.
Nando, Jaydn, Jet, Trond, and Nziah, to name a few, have shone bright, but we are losing at the line of scrimmage. It's my understanding that lineman have become scarce, with some commanding six figures in NIL, so, perhaps it's not entirely the fault of the coaches. It's not to say our present line is not up to the task, but it's a lack of depth that makes big trouble for Bears, especially since we are, now, seem to be playing a "time of possession" strategy, most of the time.

This is the salient point, and the heart of my criticism of Justin Wilcox. The fact that it’s been 8 seasons worth of the same issues is the concern, but hey, maybe I’m just a negative person that steals lollipops from kids and pushes old ladies over. ;-)
Thanks B…a WFC handle does not a person make, and the building of a top-10 program by multiple football coaches during my lifetime shows it is possible at Cal.
Those seasons were as fun as any I’ve experienced as a sports fan and it can happen again, with the proper leaders.
Ha, Cal’s offenses in the Wilcox era don’t execute well enough to drop 25 on a legit conference opponent, let alone 50.
You're such a positive person. Have you ever coached? Or even played football?

Virgina Tech offense > Cal offense.

LOL.
You're a good guy, Jimmy.
Those kids probably deserved to lose their lollies and the old ladies were just Karens needing a check on their noses.
Yes, Wilcox regime is the polar complement to Sonny's D.
Wilcox FB= 1/Dykes FB

Agreed.
Michigan is our academic rival and somehow makes it work.
I wonder what the barriers must be.
