UC needs to hire men who are familiar with the Berkeley culture.  Wilcox was a strong hire.

On the plus side, Wilcox was a UCBerkeley assistant for 3 years. So he has some knowledge of C.al, though that was more than a decade ago (2003-05). He also has knowledge of the Pac-12, having coached at Washington and U-S-C recently (2012-15).

On the negative side, Wilcox seems to have a track record of changing jobs frequently. His history suggests that if he has one or two good years, he could pull a Cuonzo and leave. And he never has been a head coach, so that's an unknown.

It will be interesting to see how this goes.
