Cal has announced that AD Jim Knowlton will “retire”.
First, Stanford hires Luck to run the football program. Then Cal hires Rivera to run their football program. Now, after watching Stanford push Muir out the door, Cal has decided to do the same to Knowlton. Although they were long overdue, these actions were the right move.
Perhaps, one day, Cal will blaze their own path instead of tagging along two steps behind their neighbor.
As for what’s next….
With their next AD hire, both schools will tell us much about the long-term direction of their respective athletic programs.
