Justin Wilcox is not a "top" candidate nor a candidate at all for that job.

No question…

The Ducks are looking to make a big hire.  Wilcox hardly qualifies…..

Totally agree. Wilcox is a very good defensive coach. His offense at Kal has be run by Beau Baldwin and subsequently Bill Musgrave. It hasn't gone well on that side of the ball. Wilcox and his staff has also been excoriated for very poor recruiting. One might suggest Kal is a difficult place to coach football, and one would be correct. However, Wilcox has done nothing that indicates he can deliver an offense. Maybe he can, but Oregon isn't going to hire on a maybe. Wilcox would be greeted by incredulity in the fan base. Not happening.

I'm not the only one who feels Wilcox would win big at Oregon:

Here's another vote for Wilcox.

I've never been all that impressed with the guy, but apparently a fair number of people are.

I'm just a fan, but Wilcox's teams play hard and generally up to their talent levels (my gut impression).  Now, recruiting is of course a big part of the job, and there is no formal admissions barrier that would prevent Cal from recruiting anybody the staff wanted.  Still, I find Outsider's explanation pretty compelling.  I've long-thought Wilcox is better than his record . . . perhaps WAY better.

If he goes to Oregon, we should get some non-UCB data points that would shed more light on his acumen.

Still, at bottom-bottom, I'd be surprised if Oregon hired Wilcox (solely because of the W/L record at Cal).  It would be a gutsy hire, certainly, at first blush.

Should be interesting . . .
