The search for Cal football’s head coach may soon be coming to an end.
According to FOX Sports, Wisconsin defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox is in talks to replace Sonny Dykes, who was fired Sunday after four seasons with the team.
Wilcox is no stranger to Cal, as he served as Cal’s linebackers coach from 2003-05 under then-head coach Jeff Tedford. He left Cal to become Boise State’s defensive coordinator in 2006 and has made stops at Tennessee, Washington and USC before his most recent gig with the Badgers.
This comes after Cal Athletic Director Mike Williams named offensive coordinator Jake Spavital interim head coach.
