Wilcox could actually win a bunch of games at UW, and UW is in the Pac-12 North. So that's not ideal.
Maybe he could go to TCU. TCU is a football upgrade from UCB, and TCU has a realistic chance at winning the Big12 after OU and UT leave the conference.
I don't think he is good enough to get the LSU job, but perhaps Virginia Tech. That'd be fine too.
TCU and VT are both aiming higher than Wilcox. So is UW but there is a connection there so he is a fallback option if their top targets don't work out.
Mr. Knight will never forgive him if UW starts beating Oregon (and Stanford). So perhaps he can go to another Nike school in the USA. I am not too concerned where he goes, but at $3 million per year he will be easy for most Power 5 coaches to poach.
UCB's odds of landing another better than average coach are pretty slim given they suffer also have the same miserable local demographic challenges that Stanford deals with and they have budget and debt issues that will drive away most coaches.
