It all depends on how Lake looks at it. If he becomes DC at Cal and the defense is much improved (hard not to be) he's getting interviews for head coaching jobs that he's probably not getting if he stays at UW.
If he fails at Cal he will still be a coveted DB coach after what he did at UW.
Money wise it's probably lateral. The downside might be greater, but it's not necessarily a lateral move.
