Conte's FB profile says he works at Corona Del Mar HS since Nov 2020. Maybe started coaching? McClure and Giordano have started coaching careers too. Cattouse and Campbell are high school teachers. Steve Williams is still playing.
I think there's no way Heyward doesn't get involved in DBs. Dude's a proven master; why not utilize those talents AND use his position as a recruiting tool? Heck, I don't care which title he keeps (OLBs, etc.) as long as he provides the greatest benefit to our Bears!
Agreed. He coached up some pretty good safeties while at Oregun. This gives Wilcox multiple options and it will be fun to see how he fills the role and adjusts the staff's responsibilities. I don't think Yates heading out is a huge loss. But it will all hinge on the new higher.
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.
Alright. My fun pick here? Thomas Decoud.
Either him or lets see what Chris Conte is up to these days
One of my all time favorite Bears, would love to see him come back to Cal!

In Wilcox I trust...

To be fair, no one is as good as Alexander. Look at what he's done at Cal and Dolphins in such a short time.
Exactly. Alexander set the bar pretty damn high
I'd like to see GA come back and be our head coach one day. Seems like a great motivator.
That's what happens when half of our staff are from Oregon....
But yates is...
True. TDR and Yates had no Oregon ties. So that means Oregon still has a lot more guys to take from our staff.
I believe there's only 3 now. which is Wilcox, Sirmon and Musgrave
Let's add one more. How about Gould?
Well that's the whole management team made up of Oregon alums.
JUST LEAVE US ALONE
We must have really pissed them off when we won in Berkeley last November to have them keep stealing our coaches.
Next we can trade Wilcox for Cristobal...:-)
I would cry
So Oregon hires TDR to be their DC. Cal hires Heyward to fill in for TDR. Oregon hires Yates to fill in for Heyward. Now who do we take from Oregon?
We will probably have Heyward coach DB and hire someone to coach LB.
