Summer Scheming ‘24: California Golden Bears
Photo by Katelyn Mulcahy/Getty ImagesThe California Golden Bears finished the 2023 season with a record of 6-7, a nice improvement over their 4-8 record in ‘22. Cal lost the 2023 Independence Bowl to end the season, but the consolation prize was that it was their first bowl appearance since 2019.
Head Coach Justin Wilcox had the Bears moving in the right direction until the COVID shortened 2020 season. In 2020, Cal finished 1-3, and then followed that up with a 5-7 season. Wilcox is 36-43 as the head coach of the Golden Bears, and finished 21-37 in the now defunct Pac-12.
