Golden Nuggets: Pundits think Cal needs a football identity.... and that Cal can’t even afford football

So, I’m cheating and using two leads because I think both are hot-button issues. Both come from opinion pieces, meaning we got some hot takes!

Our good buddy Jon Wilner thinks that picking a head coach is getting ahead of a more important topic—developing the identity of Cal Football.

The Bears, as we saw during the Jeff Tedford era, can successfully recruit the type of players necessary for a running game, whether it’s the so-called power spread or a traditional Pro-Style attack.

Put another way: Cal should be built from the inside out, not the outside in.
