I don't believe Cal “won” Wilcox staying, but rather Oregon lost him due to the stupid, egocentric constraints they tried to attach to the job.

I largely agree here. I would only disagree in that it appears that Oregon scared Wilcox off; discouraged him, if you prefer.

A desirable candidate *should* blanche at the restrictions Oregon wanted to impose, even if it was just an opening to a discussion about job terms.

That said, given Wilcox’s inability to field even an average offense, the fact that the Ducks football machinery likely wanted input on his offensive staff should come as no surprise.
