First thought: underwhelmed. I hope I’m wrong. We needed a triple, if not a hr. I feel like we got a bunt single.

A young coach that can grow into a legacy coach? Sure. But that legacy will be at Stanfurd, which will snatch him up at the first sign of success. Ugh.

If Madsen comes to Cal, we’ll be hiring his replacement sooner, rather than later. If he flops, he’s gotta go. If he wins, he leaves for Furd. Even if we’re winning we lose.

If that logic works, then Dennis Gates would be coaching at Cal right now.

It ain’t necessarily so. The Cal job and the Missouri job are not even close to being equal. Once we let Gates go SEC, there was no coming back.

...If he wins at Cal..he'd leave for Stanford. ??

Not likely...

....Given that scenario he might look to move but not to Stanford..

.....At that point he'd probably be one of the hottest coaches in the USA and Stanford, if current trends continue, would be a major step down.
