Defense has not been the same since Wilcox inexplicably demoted DeR to promote Sirmon. And could not believe how Stanford came back down 14 pts with 9 min left. Great/gutsy play calling by our Cal QB (sorry I meant Stanfords HC and OC)…..lol

Right, Tim Derutter is an outstanding defensive coach, though I thought Cristobal poached him. Stanfurd’s ability to come back from 14 points with 9 minutes on the clock in large part was the Troy Taylor factor. Just think, after a 5-7 season had, Knowlton had any modicum of foresight he had an opportunity to land a football savant in Taylor. Instead, he extends Wilcox’s contract.
I could be wrong, but as I recall DeR was not poached until a year after he had been demoted from DC to either co-DC or something even lesser to make room for Sirmon as THE DC

This is correct.
Sirmon became DC and TDR was demoted to co-DC. Following year, he went to Oregon.
Did anyone notice that DR completely shut down Cal’s offense as Texas Tech’s DC in our long awaited bowl game last December? It was very bad
I think a lot of people noticed.
TDR gave a blueprint for every program to shut Cal’s O down: pressure.
yep, our best defenses were when Tim DeRuyter coached Sonny Dykes recruits
