Need any proof, turn on Cal vs Ole Miss. We arguably have more talent than Cal does, Dykes leaving them in tatters.....but they're giving Ole Miss all they can handle. They may go on to lose the game, but the energy that Wilcox has clearly infused into that team is hard to miss. So, all the talk about Jimmies and Joes, yeah, it matters, but we're suffering from something bigger than that.

too late to get Wilcox what about Jonathan Smith? Andersen has to go now, and I foolishly defended him last week.

More than anything, this shows that defense really wins games! Wilcox is a defensive minded guy ever since his days as a thrown in CB at Oregon, to being a DC for several seasons. I thought he would fail miserably as an HC but it's looking like I was wrong there. But, I will say that defense needs to be in place in order for a program to move forward and he seems to be doing that. I don't know how good Ole Miss is (now, after Freeze being let go) and/or North Carolina but I can say that last season's Cal team would not have played this hard on D because they were literally one of the bottom 5 worst on defense!
Go Beavs!

From local papers, Wilcox has connected with his players. It's his age (pretty young). It's his experience(legit DC experience). Not quite sure but he sounds like a players coach, too. I believe he will shore up the defense in a couple of years. I was thinking he'll get the team he inherited to just compete this year. Sure they will lose some but they'll win a few, too. He's got great assistants that he can lean on with Baldwin and DeRuyter. They will compete. The Beavs will not win at CAL this year.
And you're right. It's about the coach. Looking at tonight's game, Cal is playing hard.

Go Beavs! It does not hurt that he knows defense and hired Beau Baldwin to run the offense. I am still waiting on CGA to hire a hand-to-God OC or let Dave Baldwin do his thing without hamstringing him. |

Beau Baldwin is a big piece of what they're doing, for sure.....Didn't we have a shot at him?  Damn....he's the guy that was coaching Eastern Wa when they beat us, correct? |

But Cal is WAY more improved on D! That is the difference!
Go Beavs!

Ole Miss is also missing their head coach.

Ole Miss is also missing their head coach. Cal's missing their best back and the had to go with a walk on who they just gave a scholarship to in fall camp. |

Maybe not but OSU was picked to finish ahead of Cal in the PAC standings before the season so its still a relevant point. |

Cal and OSU each had 1 all conference player last year. Honorable mentions?: OSU 3 underclassmen, Cal 2 underclassmen |
