With Cal at the moment not likely to get Tosh Lupoi, the Bears have to start thinking about alternate candidates. I’m sure many Cal fans who were excited about the Wilcox hire would be disappointed if it didn’t include a Lupoi return.
Still, this is Wilcox we’re talking about. He’s built his life around knowing every facet of defense. There are more than enough qualified coaches around the West Coast who Wilcox probably knows that could be hired in a pinch. Ultimately, the Cal offensive coordinator hire will be the instrumental decision since it’s not Wilcox’s forte.
