Even more pressure to hire a good OC and OL Coach.
Better not hire some uninspiring, middling and conservative Coaches, otherwise that large thud you’ll hear is the Cal fan’s hearts falling to the ground
This is the type of hire Cal should make for MBB. Colorado is sort of analogous to Cal MBB. The world has forgot they exist. It's bold and unpredictable and brings some attention back to the program that would be otherwise lacking with a safer hire.
I love it, that's great for Colorado and the Pac-X. Colorado won the national championship in 1990 and won the Pac12 south in 2016. I've no problem with them becoming a power once again.
Wow. I had not been following Jackson State. But ESPN sure follows them. What an impact he's had on Jackson State. If i'm reading correctly, it looks like Coach Prime and Jackson State elected NOT to play in the FCS championship playoffs because they could make (a LOT) more money playing in the Celebration Bowl?
Legitimately the splashiest hire possible. Hard to know how well his success will translate to a bigger (and non-HBCU) program but it does send the message that Colorado is serious about reinvigorating their program. Should be a massive boon for their recruiting.
Interesting hire to be sure and a conversation starter. I see him imbuing Colorado with some fresh energy. It does seem, though, that the conference is reloading with quality new coaches all around along with the "elder" statesman Kyle Whittingham. Wilcox is the 2nd longest tenured coach now after Whittingham and needs to start picking up some wins in conference play. Otherwise we will continue to wonder "why?" when looking at the W/L record.
avi, how do u write stories re: cal sports when u got literally zero sources within the football program or the athletic department?...give u props tho for not charging any money for this fish nite leftovers

"Wow, Holy sucking sound, Batman. Is that the transfer portal I hear?
Batman?...."
Let's just say, the OC needs to be an epic hire.
The only way to counter this move is if we hire Marshawn to be our HC or OC.
Bold move, CU. I like it. Good for the Pac-12.

This must be a gut shot to Bob R. Jackson State was his second favorite FCS team whose name ends in "State."
And now we've got Prime Time, Neon Deion recruiting against Cal, so a double whammy.
Hopefully not a long stay at CU and he finds his way to Florida State.
Happy he didn’t go to stanfurd
I notice winning coaches have past winning records. Troy Taylor has a winning record...Wilcox?

Is Cal likely to lose some recruits and/or staff because of this hire?

Super risky move, but great for Colorado. Hard to tell how good of a coach Deion is, considering he just completely out-talented everyone at JSU.
