This year seemed like Cal had quarters where they gave up 5 sacks!

This is the best offensive hire Wilcox has made in this cycle and perhaps the best in his entire tenure.

Foundational hire, if it works.. solid OL is basis to build on. Without this nothing else works, or minimally doesn’t work as well.

Love his o-line stats

Scheme and a QB that is a proficient runner contribute a lot to the "no sack" metric.

What caught my eye was that Anae was able to do this despite losing 2 starters to injury and the OL, previously, had never played together. Regardless of scheme, this is impressive.

Due to medical retirement, Anae only played 2 seasons of college ball. Early on he must've been focused on coaching and learning his craft. We shall see how things go. Should Cal land 1 or 2 of NMS' OL portal transfers this may help Anae implement and teach his techniques.

His dad is a longtime college OL coach and the current OC at NC State. He grew up learning the craft and has some great role models to learn from. Pretty cool father and son will be coaching in the same conference now.

Last two hires seem solid. Yet, in a world of wins we will not know if anything makes sense with Wilcox as HC. I just know it always starts at the top. As for Bloesch or Gilbert, Gilbert was always questionable and the kids (previous schools) do not seem to be a big fan. If they were fans, maybe Mendoza would have stayed? Lets see where they end up and how we do with this new offensive coaching team.

Well that is very impressive result. Our OL performance was...not close to that. This guy seems worth a try.

Love this. Love it.

His stats are amazing. I also like that he and the WR coach are both young, with energy that should help with recruiting. Open up the Hawaiian pipeline!

Forget all this. Was he an anti vaxxer? If so then we should hate this hire.

No need to stir the pot.

Just confirming this is sarcasm, right? Due to our Hawaiian Bear friend?
