no coach with a buyout as large as his is on the hot seat. not in the getting fired sense. is he maybe on the hot seat in the sense of losing control over his hiring/firing of say.....Musgrave and McClure? under almost any other AD, but not with Knowlton. if Wilcox cared about making a statement that this performance isnt good enough they would be long gone. but instead we get "OKG" and other stupid bland coaching remarks
Though it was a loss, Cal just played their best game of the season, considering the caliber of opponent, and that it was on the road. Winning would have really cooled the seat, but last night didn't add much heat.
Wilcox should be on the hot seat because, under his watch, Cal has lost to previously winless teams (Colorado, Arizona, UCLA) that should have been beaten. You can't lose games like that and not expect to have a few eyebrows raised. I like Wilcox and think that he is a good coach but some of Cal's losses during his reign have been real head scratchers. Is he cursed? Is he a great defensive coordinator but a so-so coach? I'm not sure but for everyone's sake he had better figure some things out in a hurry.
Unfortunately, Kilbridge is most likely not very familiar with the Cal program and the rah-rah Army Colonel running it…if he were, he would know that said Colonel is probably not terminating a HC 9 months after signing him to a lucrative extension.
Still, without knowing the pertinents of Wilcox’s deal, and the buyout language specifically, it’s tough to say for sure. From everything I’ve heard and read, firing Wilcox anytime soon is a non-starter, tho.
He should have been on the hot seat two years ago. But with the moronic lengthy contract extension, no way he's on any hot seat; we can't afford the electricity to warm teh seat. Plus, all the announcers keep saying he's a good coach.
The moral victory at USC may have temporarily silenced some of the critics, but we are still looking at a 5 game losing streak. Agree that changes have to me made on the offense in the offseason.
Cal Football: Is Coach Wilcox on the 'Hot Seat?'

Being realistic, because Knowlton is Knowlton, and given JW’s contract, JW is not getting fired. Probably need Knowlton to be fired first.
Why aren’t there performance based buyouts like Arkansas did?
Jeff Scott got bounced after this past weekend @ 33% wonder where Wilcox is now after Saturday

He absolutely should be on the hot seat.
