Although it seems like Cal has offered Justin Wilcox the head coaching vacancy, a deal isn’t yet in place.
Cal and Justin Wilcox are still trying to hammer out a deal. Not done yet.

I can only guess why the deal is taking time to come together. There are probably plenty of sticking points between Wilcox and Cal reaching a final deal, other than the UC Regents being their usual slowpoke selves.
If I had to guess, he probably wants to ensure high assistant salary pay.
