If Wisconsin defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox were to accept the Cal head coaching job, it sounds like a familiar face will be returning to the Bears.
It's widely believed by multiple sources with knowledge of their relationship that Lupoi -- who was close to signing a contract to return to Berkeley two months ago -- will join Wilcox, after his two-year stay at Alabama as outside linebackers coach and run game coordinator. It's expected that Lupoi would be Wilcox's defensive coordinator.
There is one interesting nugget hidden in there: Sonny Dykes wanted Tosh Lupoi to be the new Cal defensive coordinator, but for some reason it didn’t happen.
