Cal appears to be on the verge of hiring their first assistant for Justin Wilcox straight from the Oregon tree: Former Duck offensive line coach Steve Greatwood has been reported as the first Cal hire. There are whispers that Wilcox wouldn’t mind getting another reliable Oregon assistant on the staff.
Don Pellum was apparently mentioned in similar reports as Greatwood prior to Greatwood’s hire. Perhaps he’s in the mix for a defensive Cal position too?
Justin Wilcox was officially hired as California's new coach. Former Oregon assistant Steve Greatwood is expected to join him in Berkeley, and the former Duck player is courting ex-Oregon assistants such as linebackers coach Don Pellum.
