Having Cooper Kupp and Bo-Jangles Whatever as QB doesn't make a proven coach.

I think that Baldwin did a good job at Eastern and is a decent offensive coach.
The issue with Cal though isn't offense (pretty sure they were #1 in the conference in scoring when we played them). There teams pretty consistently put up 40+ under Dykes... they just gave up 50+ at the same time.
The question will of course be Wilcox and what he can do defensively behind Lake or whoever is hired as DC. Wilcox had OK defenses here but like Sark the defenses wilted in big time games. Part of that was probably due to Sark being a offensive dumbfuck and giving the defense no rest and the other offense way too many possessions.
But look at what Wilcoxs defense did in the Big 10 championship game.
I'd take Wilcox over Dykes for sure though. Dykes was like a Mike Leach lite.

I was there too, and whoever took that pic took it from very near where our Gold Zone family season tickets were. Fourth-string RB Michael Porter ran for 75 yards on 4 carries late in the 4th quarter to give Cal the 54; Echemandu, Arrington, and O'Keith were all sitting by then. That was a cathartic wiin because because it was the first wiin over UW at home since the 1970's, and most of us hadn't made the trip up to Seattle in 2002 to see Cal break the streak up there against Skippy's team. It was also nice to beat a Gilby team, after what that worthless fuck did to our program.
I don't think I got to see it, but it was satisfying to listen to the 56-17 drubbing that Cal gave UW in 2005. I remember Dawgman pussies keening about Cal piling on because Forsett had a relatively long TD run in the 4th quarter, as if somehow it's bad form for a backup to try not to get tackled. You don't want them to score on you, make a fucking stop. As a fan, bitch at your team for not making the fucking stop, not at the opposing team whose scrubs are trying to win more PT.

I wish he was like a Mike Leach lite. Man we could score, but I have never seen such bad defense. I think Wilcox will have our Defense playing much better, but we have no big DT/NT type DL. Our line last year was 250, 275, 285, 265... We then followed that up by only playing 2 LBs and were shocked we couldn't stop the run at all.
The switch the 3-4 Def is a must. IMO it is the best type of Def for college football. While a lot of people think we are light on LBs that just isnt' the case. Most of our DEs are way to light and would probably be more successful as an 3-4 OLB. Saffle, Weaver, etc. Looney at only 275 lbs is actually probably a dominate 3-4 DE. the problem we have is we don't have a monster NT like Vea.... I am typing all of this up and realize no one gives fuck... hahaha oh well.
You need a lot more than a NT like Vea.
True, but I meant in the sense that transition from a 4-2-5 with small DL to a 3-4 isn't so bad if you had a true NT. Those smaller DT transition out nicely to good size 3-4 DEs. Our mobile, but light DEs transition out nicely to Rush backers. Where a team like us would lack in transition is NT is all I meant and a beast like Vea would make any team much better. That guy is incredible and should have went into the draft!
If we had a better Def last year we would of had a good chance to be 8-4. Obviously things change if our Def was better and outcomes would be different, but give us Vea to help stop the run and switched to a 3-4 with better Def coaching and we weren't that far off.
