Justin Wilcox Needs Recruiters

wilcoxJustin Wilcox, the incoming Cal coach, is Mr. Bland. Unless he is in a coaches’ booth yelling profanity on the headsets during a game.

So the top priority for him is to hire good recruiters on his coaching staff. Tosh Lupoi, the controversial former Washington assistant currently rehabilitating as an Alabama assistant, is a frontrunner to become defensive coordinator. So Wilcox needs some offensive assistants who can recruit. And someone who can call plays. And someone who can motivate the team. And . . .

It’s going to be fun watching this unfold the next couple seasons. Plus I get to run that picture about 1,000 more times.

  1. You usually need no reason to beat a dead horse. Why would you need a reason to show a picture 1,000 times? Your middle name is obsession right?

  2. Can anyone explain why the #1 rated public University would hire this coach whose resume’ is so pathetic? It had to be he came cheap, which would explain the hire. No one is going to accuse CAL of trying to run a championship football program. It’s not on their bucket list. Well, we won’t have to worry about CAL for the next few years (if Wilcox lasts that long).

    • Some Pac12 HCs have cred and others are just downright bad.

      Ucla… F
      ASU….F
      UoA….D+
      Cal……F
      Colorado .. D+
      Oregon St.. C-

      USC …. B
      Stanford.. B-
      Washington.. C+
      Utah… A
      Oregon.. C+
      Washington St… C

      • Seems a bit harsh on Petersen, McIntyre, they did get their teams to the Conf Champ Game.

        • And they both LOST!.. And their schedules were suspect… Nothing special.. Colorado will never be heard from again and Peterson will be a out after this year.

          • He will gone by his own choice…Don’t smoke.. And show your pride to your to “school” add avatar and your schools name Pac 12.. Don’t be scared!

      • Seems ridiculous. Petersen 2 time coach of the year Nationally, Mc Intyre has done a great job at Colorado, whittingham is for real and i would give David Shaw accolades . If Shaw is B- , then Helton would be a C plus

  3. So Wilcox didn’t like Wolf, just like Kiffin didn’t like Wolf.

    Maybe Wolf is the problem?

  4. Actually the trend in college football is for coaches to coach and to hire staff to perform the routine recruit evaluations/contact. Coaches would mostly be involved in in-home visits and official on-campus visits. This is the role Pendergast currently has, although the Blogger likes to say he doesn’t recruit – which is inaccurate.

  5. Birdcage breaks groundbreaking news: New HCs need to bring in excellent assistants to succeed. Stunning acuity!

  6. So this will be “Inside Cal, FAU, Bama, and just a little bit of USC, Rams, Chargers and english soccer. “

  7. Wow! Breaking news! A football coach yelled profanities during a game…no way! Wolf, once again, you are at the top of your game. So, let’s see…overused pictures…Wilcox choking, Greta Garbo, anything kiffin…hey Wolf, can you run those Disneyland clock pics again? We can’t get enough…

  8. The defense at CAL has been a sh*tshow for years. At least CAL is taking steps to correct that. Kind of an inspired hire actually since CAL doesn’t have the profile, commitment or clout to bring in a big-timer and never will.

  9. Finally something of which Wolf and most of us can agree on making fun of.
    Did Haden make this hire?

  10. Didn’t you hear? Governor Brown is taking money away from the UC system to build a train to Fresno. The State has also hired a law firm to thwart anything Washington wants to do.
    This means low budget coaches and assistants from now on. Maybe some of the worst high school coaches in the Berkley area are looking to get their resume’s on Wilcox’s desk

  11. Actually, it’s Inside Mickey D’s. Bruin Rob will provide Wolf with great info regarding the Golden Arches.

  12. So you finally admit it regarding this picture. That’s a step in the right direction, Flow. You devil, you.

  13. Cals finances in the athletic dept arent in good shape. They will need to do the best they can . Getting Lupoi would be great for their recruiting. Schools have short memories about coaches leaving sometimes. Ie Carroll , Sark, Pendergast, Kiffin.

  14. Just goes to show you how important recruiting is in todays game. To my knowledge, that’s all he’s ever been….a recruiter. He’s never been any kind of a co-ordinator….at least as far as I know.
