Is this just a bunch of Stanford fans with wishful thinking?

Probably.
IMO,
Helton won the Rose Bowl two years ago and was the Pac-12 champ last year. To call him a dud because he had a bad year this year is an overstatement.
If I'm an AD, I don't think Wilcox has accomplished enough at Kal to get me all hot and tingly about hiring him away from there. Let him win the Pac-12, or at least make it to the CC game before we start considering him the next great college football head coach.
Also, Wlicox has created a "small miracle" at Kal? He is 3-4 in conference play and his three non conference wins were against undistinguished teams. Is that a serious statement? If it is, that's setting the bar awfully low.

Agreed.  If I were Wilcox, i'd get out while the getting's good.  He's had a fairly fortunate year.  If C.al manages to beat Stanford, I'd take whatever offer I could get, were I he.

Well, I think he will beat Colorado, and if he can get by Stanford that makes him 8-4. Heck, that was good enough to get Denny Green an NFL head coaching gig. So maybe he should see what is out there. My guess is that also gets him an nice salary bump and a contract extension at Kal, for whatever that is worth.
