The California Golden Bears fired Justin Wilcox on Sunday, thrusting former Auburn Tigers head football coach Bryan Harsin back onto the market. Perhaps Harsin won't have to look for his next job, though.
Sports Illustrated's Bryan Fischer believes Cal's current offensive coordinator could be a candidate for the full-time job. Fischer also believes Harsin could be the key to the Golden Bears keeping quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele.
"There are likely to be two internal options for the Bears if they want to go in that direction, starting with Harsin. He led Boise State to a Fiesta Bowl and flamed out at Auburn but is well respected inside the building for what he’s been able to do this season despite seeing most returnees in 2025 leave for the portal.
