Well, Paul Wiggin was not let go until after the disastrous 1-10 season of 1983 (the season after Elway left and the events of November 20, 1982).

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
