Wilcox just got to Wisco this season.  He was at U$C for the two seasons before that (and at UW for two seasons before that).

I can see why they picked him  #7 in total D, was DC and prominent public university, knows and appreciates the Pac-21 having worked at USC, Cal and Oregon.  Makes sense from that perspective.

What I don't understand is (a) why Wisconsin hired him last January when USC was #65 in total defense and (b) what made him so attractive as he took Wisconsin's #2 defense in 2015 and turned it into a #7 defense in 2016.

Wilcox has been at five schools in ten years.  I will say, however, sitting here in the frozen tundra, that I understand wanting to leave the Midwest for California.
