Except where we talked about it already.
Missed that. my bad.

He will be an interesting case study. Folks here have spoken highly of him. I seem to recall his name from the MacIntyre search but the reservation was he was still a bit immature as a coach to head a program. It will be interesting to see how cal benifts long term with the hire. What is the balance between luck, timing and depth of the coaching pool each year.Wilcox seems like a good hire for cal.
Cal tried to fire Dykes for cause and that was one of the main factors why it took so long, 5.88m buyout

The case centered around multiple factors, including...
- Dykes interviewing with multiple programs, including Baylor this week.
- Dykes not letting defensive coordinator Art Kaufman go in a timely manner (Kaufman was still on Cal staff until several weeks after the season ended). The report is that Cal Athletics felt Dykes was dragging his feet.
- Dykes not getting around to finding a defensive coordinator until very late in the process. Williams apparently fired him when Dykes went to consult him for a list.
None of those things are reasons to fire for cause. They're just things that annoy the boss. You have to get caught doing lines off a hookers ass to get fired for cause.
Dykes was never a fit at CAL....example of a bad hire.
Cristobal is officially the Co-OC at Oregon
Stating a fact, not comparing to CU's situation.I thought you said we should stop? J/k

So Cal screwed up hiring Dykes, Dykes wanted out but wanted his money to.
Dykes forces them to fire him but doesn't give reason to give up the money. Either he is a smart individual or he is smart enough to have a lawyer and agent who gave him a great plan.
Either way Cal is paying a lot of money for a guy not to be coaching a program that isn't selling tickets and collecting donations they thought it would when they hired him. I wonder if Cal now tries to imitate what CU did and go cheap on the next coach and the program.
They are not a good program when they are at their best. What depths could they go at their worst. Maybe worse than Hawkins/Embree?
Dude use your brain, dykes is a complete tool.I'll always favor a Texan over a Californian(s) in football/money. Hope Dykes gets every penny he can from Cal.

Heh.Dude use your brain, dykes is a complete tool.
Cross another want off the list.Sounds like Jimmy Lake is likely to be named DC at Cal soon.
You remember HS prom? The dude who waited until the last minute to line up his date always got the hottie. Always.Cross another want off the list.
