• "the 59ers could have hired Mike MacIntyre instead of Sonny Dykes" - I don't think this is true.  My recollection is that Barbour reached out to MacIntyre and he turned her down

ESPN seems to think Barbour wanted Dykes, not MacIntyre.

Cal fired Tedford on 11/20/12 and stated that they hired DHR to commence an immediate search.  MacIntyre stated as of 11/26, Cal had not contacted him.

And from my own limited experience, I haven't seen Cal too eager to hire from SJSU.
