Throwing more screens seems like a reasonable approach, but the WR blocking is abysmal.
The TE statistic Nick mentioned is mind-boggling. They're not blocking to spell the woeful O-line and they're not catching passes...so why are they out there?
If Musgrave isn't gone at the end of the season, Wilcox might as well pack as his own bags as well.

I don't know with the Eugene Connection and loyalty if Musgrave ever will be held accountable. At the time I thought he was too old to be effective and relate to 18 year olds. Seems the strategy piece along with adjustments is lacking as well.
Our screens have been TERRIBLE. For how talented the WRs are at catching and running with the ball, I haven't seen one well blocked screen this season.
With or without Musgrave or Angus, Wilcox wonтАЩt be fired after this season or next. If by year 8 he hasnтАЩt corrected the offense or produce a winning Pac12 season he might be fired. Even then, with the uncertainty of the post Pac12 world for Cal after 2025, we might keep him around for consistency.*
*consistency being a stagnant offense and a 6-6 record.
Would be funny sad, not funny ha-ha, if that ever came to be, but Cal won't get rid of Wilcox. Mark Fox is still coaching hoops & Knowlton is still there denying any McKeever crap. This is an athletic program that's embarrassingly inept when it comes to revenue sports, settling for as bland a product as humanly possible, while the entire landscape of college sports has left these guys in the dust.
Was never a fan of Musgrave's to begin with; ironic that he's a 'pro-style' OC who doesn't utilize the TE position. Even before Avi's post, I could tell from the first half play (& play-calling) that Cal would find a way to lose. Wilcox doesn't have the aggressive mindset, the killer instinct, he's as 'meh' as they come. Can't recruit to elevate the program, destined to live in mediocrity. You know the line from Terminator 2: "there's no fate but what we make for ourselves"? Cal (esp. the AD, Wilcox, Musgrave, Fox) is the program farthest from.
Correct, no chance Wilcox will be replaced unless there some sort of unsightly PR debacle. But given how Knowlton has handled the Teri McKeever, maybe not even that. Cal HCs under Knowlton basically have the same tenure that Supreme Court justices do.

HeтАЩs gonna get 3 chances to re-boot the offense, after whiffing on the first 2тАж
He will be given a 3rd chance to reboot the offense and I hope he takes it. I worry he might be too loyal and stubborn to replace Angus/Musgrave.
