The ACC this year is worse than the Pac 12 last year. There's not a single team in the same league as Washington or Oregon last year. Arizona would probably win it. Even 2023 Utah, USC, Oregon State would probably be 6-2, 5-3 in conference type teams. Problem is, we somehow managed to get worse.

Assuming we take the axe and lose to SMU, our record in the ACC will be 2-6, a win % in the conference of 25%. That is unacceptable to even the most ardent Knowlton/Wilcox supporters. The transfer portal will be disastrous I fear, and NIL $ will stop until we have a proven winning coach. We can't have JW coming back next year, period.
First part is easy: fire all Cal DEI employees and defund all Cal DEI programs. That will easily cover the cost of JW's contract. 2nd is harder - truckloads of blue and gold ties delivered to Nick Saban's house and lots of prayers...
1. Big Game win = Groundhog Day Effect where Wilcox is тАЬokayтАЭ resets.
2. Rumor has it Big donors want Knowlton gone, first. Knowlton тАЬgoneтАЭ is complicated by ongoing investigation into wrongdoing regarding not firing womenтАЩs swim coach fast enough.

How are you going to pay to release him from his contract and hire a proven head coach?

Agree, Cal should clean house on Knowlton AND JW.
