Oregon Hires Cal DB Coach Yates Away
Per CalRivals and FootballScoop Marcel Yates to coach safeties at Oregon

Again, the Cal-Oregon pipeline proves to move both ways with Coach Yates moving north opening up another spot on the assistant staff.
Coach Yates came to Cal from his brief stint at UoA under HC Sumlin. Coach Yates previously coached Boise State and Texas A&M defenses. At Boise State, he was initially a DB/Secondary Coach and then came back to head their defense before moving to Texas and Arizona.

JUST LEAVE US ALONE
My impression is that Yates was not as good a coach as Alexander, being that AZ's defense was not up to the par of the Takers, and Alexander did not have much to work with (Dykes recruits). But this might not be completely accurate, anyway I hope Wilcox' can attract a top-caliber coach to fill Yates' shoes.
