  1. Has been a DC for Sark in past... California fires coach Justin Wilcox after nine seasons Story by Pete Thamel • 16hr ago Cal has fired coach Justin Wilcox after he went 48-55 over nine seasons with the Golden Bears, general manager Ron Rivera announced Sunday. Wilcox's final game came Saturday, as Cal lost 31-10 to rival Stanford, a game in which Cal was favored. The loss dropped Cal to 6-5 on the season, which marked the third straight year that Cal reached bowl eligibility. "I want to thank Justin for all of his contributions to our football program, our athletic department and our university," Rivera said in a statement. "He has always comported himself with class and professionalism. After careful consideration, we believe the time has come for new leadership. We wish Justin the best of luck in his future endeavors." Per his contract, Wilcox, the sixth-winningest coach in program history, will be owed approximately $10.9 million. The end of Wilcox's tenure comes at an interesting crossroads for Cal. It has two co-directors of athletics -- Jay Larson and Jenny Simon O'Neill. Cal also hired Rivera, the longtime NFL coach, as its new football general manager to help modernize the program. Nick Rolovich, the former head coach at Washington State and Hawai'i, has been named interim coach. He'd been working as a senior offensive assistant for Cal this season. Wilcox's teams were always solid and competitive, but they'd recently been undercut by a lack of NIL support. A flurry of starters left the 2024 Golden Bears, including Heisman Trophy favorite Fernando Mendoza (Indiana), former first-team all-Pac-12 tailback Jaydn Ott (Oklahoma) and star tight end Jack Endries (Texas). Even with all the high-profile defections, it'd been a season of relative optimism for Cal until the loss to Stanford, the tenor of which was unexpected. Cal had recruited perhaps the country's best true freshman quarterback, Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who flashed the promise of being a linchpin for the future. It also reloaded with a solid transfer class that helped it with solid wins against Minnesota, North Carolina and an upset win just last week at Louisville. Cal is in its second season in the ACC, and Wilcox was just 5-10 in ACC play the past two seasons. In none of his nine seasons at Cal did he manage a winning record in league play, which included seven years in the Pac-12 and two in the ACC. Wilcox, 49, is a well-regarded coach with strong ties to the West Coast, as he has been defensive coordinator at spots such as Boise State, Washington and USC. He has also been a coordinator at Tennessee and Wisconsin, where he worked in 2016 prior to getting the Cal head coaching job

  5. Missed this story... Georgia sure hurt Texas with passing like Florida What Does Billy Napier's Visit to Georgia Football's Practice Mean for the Bulldogs? Story by Christian Kirby • 4days ago While Kirby Smart and Billy Napier competed as head coaches in Georgia and Florida's hate-filled rivalry, the two coaches have been friends for quite some time. The two even spent time together on the same staff under Nick Saban with the Alabama Crimson Tide. But while visiting a coaching friend could easily explain Napier's appearance in Athens, there may be a deeper reason for the former Gator's presence at Georgia's practice this week. Though his 2025 season did ultimately result in his termination, Napier's Gators were just one of two teams to defeat the Texas Longhorns this season. The Bulldogs, of course, are scheduled to face Texas this Saturday and are looking to defeat the Longhorns for the third time in two seasons. With a win, the Dawgs will have secured a 7-1 record in conference play and will be in an excellent position to reach the College Football Playoff. While Napier could very well be assisting Georgia in scheming for the Longhorns, there have been no official reports to confirm this is the reason for his presence. However, given that Kirby Smart is notorious for leaving no stone unturned when it comes to preparing for an opponent, it is extremely plausible that this may be the case.
  6. PK has to take some heat for this along with Akina...
  7. Final Stats... 😬
  8. Thru 3 qtrs...
  9. Mosley and Wisner made some plays in 1st half. Sure would be great if Texas runs the ball great in 3rd qtr... Georgia starting LB likely out in 2nd half
  10. Mosely had a decent 1st half...
  11. A lot of talent... but still playing like an undeveloped freshman WR.
  12. Halftime stats... 0-6 on 3rd downs 🙄 Too many penalties too...
  13. 1st qtr stats...
  14. Seems like Beamer should be on this year's carousel...
