A major Cal donor said he wants Sonny Dykes to remain the Bears' football coach but hopes Dykes understands the athletic department's fiscal responsibilities.
Paul White, the brother of former Cal and NFL star lineman Ed White, said many alums appreciate what Dykes has achieved on the academic side but need to see more success on the field.
...
"I strongly support the cultural change that Sonny has brought to our football program and hope he will stay at Cal," said White, referring in part to the academic improvements Dykes has overseen within the football program. "However, he needs to understand that after the Jeff Tedford contract fiasco, the university is in a position of having to be conservative when it comes to more guaranteed money and a lengthy contract extension."
