Things are heating up. Should be a fun next few weeks.

I wouldn't blame him for going.

Wilcox and Musgrave (Wisconsin style offense) pro style offense would be a square peg in a round hole at Oregon both in terms of player personnel and offensive identity.

Winning 8-9 games at Oregon won't cut it. 8-9 wins at Cal gets you an extension, 8-9 wins at Oregon will get you fired.

At any rate, hopefully Knowlton has Troy Taylor’s cell number, we may need to call him.

If Wilcox does go, it will probably weaken Oregon so at least a division rival will come back down closer to Cal.

If they want to talk with Coach Wilcox then they are real about considering hiring him. They don't talk to coaches just to chat and waste time.

Looks like the ducks just asked permission to interview chip Kelly

Not surprised. At all.

I want them to hire chip Kelly, because short term I expect both Oregon and UCLA would get worse

Avi, what changed? ATQ quoted a tweet of yours citing Oregun, "...had no interest..." in Wilcox??

Can’t see it happening. Read somewhere that Phil Knight is 83. He doesn’t have time to wait. He needs a win now coach, like SC got. Maybe Kiffin, Sitani, Aranda, or someone from the NFL?

I'd expect Wilcox would take the job if offered. But I'm not sure Oregon would offer unless maybe as a backup plan. But who knows?
