The news that was assumed to be coming since . . . probably the USC game, is now official. For the 3rd time in 4 years Cal is in the market for a new defensive coordinator.
And it’s going to be a tough, tough hire.
What does Cal have going in their favor? Well, it’s a power 5 coordinator position, and Cal paid Art Kaufman just short of 600,000, so the eventual winner be well compensated.
What’s working against Cal? There’s the obvious - the Bears are coming off a season in which their defense ranked near the bottom in every single meaningful defensive category.
