Hi. I am new here. (not really) But anyway, the importance of the DC pales in comparison to the importance of the OC when the HC is a defensive guy. I didn't want TheRooter to go, but still I view this as a win based on dude's recruiting and success with DBs. All that matters is if Musgrave can get this offense to score 25-30 points a game and if we have a country left after Covid and her cousins run train on us.
Cal fans: Tell me if I'm wrong but I'm having trouble seeing this as a win. We swapped DC's with a program that played LOUSY defense this year. Was Oregon's defense this year a COVID-hiccup or should we worry? God forbid that we go back to the era of Sonny Dykes defenses that couldn't stop a sneeze. Football gods, pray for us.
Jpark: You are right. I forgot myself by suggesting that Heyward should have pulled a Tosh and brought Cardwell with him. College football recruiting is sleazy enough so we don't need to replicate what other programs might be doing. The bottom line is that Cal is an amazing place all on its own. If recruits don't want to be a part of it aside from sports, then they really do belong somewhere else. Thanks for reminding me what is important. GoldenBear88.
I really expect this to be a net positive for us. I don't see our play calling or coaching to downgrade given Wilcox and Sirmon, and our recruiting will be improved. Call me positive on this.
I declare this as a win for the Bears!! College football is all about recruiting. Hell I spend more time looking at the recruiting pages than I do actual games. Yeah yeah only 4 games this year. So it doesn't really matter which position group he ends up coaching as long as he brings in some blue chip DB's. Even with GA we didn't land any so this chap just may be the ticket. And whatever "title" he gets is to qualify for the pay scale, nuttin new there.

I can say, with complete certainty, that this will turn out to be either an inspired, average, or poor hire.
The line on our turnover differential shall now be called the Heyward Fault Line

I've never been sold on Yates as a DB guy, and Heyward has the body of work to prove he knows what he's doing.
My hope would be Heyward as passing game coordinator/safeties/recruiting coordinator, Yates as CBs, and Sirmon taking all LBs.
Welcome Coach Heyward! Nice Hire Coach Wilcox. As much as I really like DeRuyter, he was not much of a recruiter.

Go Bears!!
Why is there no gif of Wilcox licking his lips?? No, it does not get old!
Welp speaking of Oregon...they just landed Cardwell
Lurking on his twitter feed, no news yet. He did land Jevon Holland from O'Dowd (and we didn't).
