"Is it that ultimately, we as a football culture are blase' and take the path of least resistance? This is why I have doubts that a new HC would make a big difference. Maybe it's not JW, maybe it's us. Maybe he's not our breakthrough coach, but maybe he's the coach we deserve, for now, and, maybe, Lincoln Riley falls just as flat were he our new coach (as an example, not a probability)."
Agreed. At times, I even think JW may be better than the coach we deserve. With the combined effects of NIL, transfer portal, and conference realignment, truly believe Cal football is at a major and historic crossroad (and we're not the only ones).

Agree with bearspot and Bowlesman88's original comment. We're at an inflection point right now.
