The Cal coaching staff you'll see in 2021 will be very different than the group that led the Bears in 2019. Will staff changes over the last two years elevate the program to new heights?
I feel like the community as a whole really didn't give Musgrave enough credit for what he did last year. To me at least an I'm not sure how the metrics would add up, but the eye test for the offense was a lot better than the last 2 seasons (aside from the end of 2019). To me there were a lot more explosive plays, especially in the run game vs Furd and through the air vs OSU. Considering it was only a farce of an offseason and we only got 4 games in, I'm more optimistic than most for the future of our offense (even if we always put the offense in neutral in Q3)
Exactly I liked a lot more perimeter style running, getting backs in space instead of what used to be the usual 3rd and 1 run up the gut that kept getting stuffed by Pac 12 Nose tackles.
Excellent article. Thank you. This is why I keep saying "In Wilcox I trust". Other than in GA, we have stayed at least even or improved in his hires, IMO. Jury out on Musgrave, but hard to argue he isn't better on paper. Really curious what happens with the two openings now, and hope for news very soon giving spring training and all. And who else here is expecting butts in seats at Memorial for this Fall?
Butts in the seats....but maybe not as many butts in the seats. I think we'll know more by the end of June when vaccinations have almost been completed.
The ship is going in the right direction. It is actually a feather in Wilcox' cap that he has had successful position coaches that are recognized as good enough to poach. Now we need to re-load.
Ok, you can all bite me!!!! Like CalBear91, in Wilcox I trust, too. But here I am getting all excited and sh#t about the prospect of next season, and the season after that, and..... I usually don't hit this level until fall camp starts and we envision 45 yard TD runs based on practice squad performance, etc. And here I am NOW???? On the old blog my signature block phrase was "It's the future that's always bright at Cal." I am living proof; been waiting and hoping, nee, EXPECTING a Rose Bowl since about 1973. I literally used to put that on my Christmas List..... (emoji of parents shaking their heads.....). I know, I know, THIS time the potential is REAL!!!! Please, help me take a deep breath....not sure how many more seasons of "NEXT year" I can bear....... : )
Not sure St.Mary's would have enough available facilities aside from the Rugby field to be much of any help, especially if some emergency were to occur since St.Mary's is tucked away in the remote back of Moraga. I would suggest UC Davis if they were to move since they are in game season now and would have travel days and subsequently be in the off season soon if there was a move to be needed.
long time first time. When can we expect Wilcox 2.7? Really curious about THAT specific patch update.

So true!!! The first time they pitched this past season I nearly peed my pa.....well, I was very happy!!!!!

The trend is our friend...Go Bears!

The bottom line is that costs money. Something that they’re trying to save unless ABSOLUTELY necessary.
Not sure St.Mary's would have enough available facilities aside from the Rugby field to be much of any help, especially if some emergency were to occur since St.Mary's is tucked away in the remote back of Moraga. I would suggest UC Davis if they were to move since they are in game season now and would have travel days and subsequently be in the off season soon if there was a move to be needed.
As a Davis alum, I couldn't be more proud than to offer up their fields and facilities!!!!
As a former Moragan(?), it must be stated that St. Marys is not in Orinda, it is in Moraga. #stompthemats
Unless you're from Moraga..... : )
