If that were the case, they would just keep Lake. It just means that Jen Cohen is bad at her job.
Jen Cohen gets a lot of credit for ... well, not success in the way one would typically look at it. Inherited Petersen and seemed to get credit for his tenure despite him having been hired years earlier, let him walk, made an apparently poor hire in Hopkins (as her first major hire), made the questionable (at best) decision to elevate Lake, had the baseball team go on probation ... believe their women's BB team has been pretty bad, too.
I think Wilcox would do well at UW. Defense would be excellent, and he’d have an easier time recruiting offensive talent there.
I agree . He has had a tough time getting a qb at cal.. but Tedford his last seven years there did as well
Wilcox has some appeal and would have some support among the Tyee club. Probably not a good decision, but that makes it all the more attractive to a loyal Coug. Let's start a letter writing campaign!

Jimmy Lake chose to slap his player with a laminated play sheet that happened to be unvaccinated while breaking up a sideline scuffle.
Since this happened in the first quarter why didn't the UW AD and the UW President take corrective action at halftime?
Not sure what you are asking . You are speaking a foreign language … no Wulff reference ?
Not sure what “corrective” action you would want. A covid test for the laminated play sheet ?
But more important why are you asking me as to why the Husky admin didn’t take some action ?
Cal is a tough place to coach, little or no support from the university, restrictive rules, this latest covid situation is a prime example. They had to cancel this weeks game with USC, 21 players and staff couldn't show up for the AZ game, last week, due to some ridiculous covid regulation that exists in no other state, in fact it might have been a Berkley rule. The environment at that university prevents you from winning. Not sure Wilcox goes to the UW, but If I was him I'd get out while I still had value.
I'm not a Jimmy Lake fan and there is no doubt the UW offense is struggling, but give the man his due. He wasn't afraid to say his defenses would shut down the Leach "air raid," and they backed up his words. His bragging and conceit added spice to the rivalry, lacking since the Don James days. The fact that we then proceeded to roll over and over, and had zero answers, exposed systemic problems at our end that we hated to admit. I want Lake to stay on because I desperately want to beat him and the Huskies at the same time. You know Apple Cup week will be fun if he is at the mic, and fan/team motivation will not be an issue.
If let him go "because" of pushing and hitting a player with a play card would be a complete and utter sham.

Wilcox would probably be a good choice for USC as well. His brand of ball with the recruiting cachet that USC has would be a simple, no nonsense winner.
The "systemic problem" was that uw's DL could destroy the pocket and shut down the running game with three linemen. The only way to address that is superior talent.
Update. Cal has a full blown OSHA hot spot going; over 40 people testing positive at latest report.
Vaccine Working as intended LOL
What a joke this is starting to become. Or I should say, an even bigger joke. It appears almost all the cases involved were staff/players being asymptomatic. I love how they opened up in this article alluding to variables of false negatives or public health measures failing not being the cause. Instead, its the doubling down of the "SHUT IT ALL DOWN" approach. Continued evidence of patients running the asylum.
Hardly a joke. It is the nature of a hotspot to spread widely, and those players/staff as a group are exposed to the whole community. You simply can't let them play while infectious, and you have to quarantine them for a while. Not very complicated, and not funny to anyone.
I seem to think UO was very interested in prying Wilcox away from Cal at least once– when they fired Helfrich and perhaps when Taggart bolted. Of course, he's a Duck alum but I could see him being a better coach in Eugene than Cristobal, probably not a better recruiter.

Its a joke in a way this administration and blue state admins continue to mislead and double down on "Public Safety Measures" that are clearly not working. The only reason the players/staff knew they had it was because of testing. How do we know its not being spread in the same manner throughout the public? People aren't getting tested unless they have symptoms. And even then, some aren't getting tested. Vaccine is working one way and one way only... Significantly reducing the chances of showing symptoms of being infected.
I could see this happening in a red state. But certainly not in a blue state... because, you know.. mandates.
