Holgy likely would have hired Spav last year if he could. But he was in a war with Gordon Gee, was in the last year of his contract and had hired Joe Wickline as OC. (Hiring an OC was Gee's mandate.)W said:

He wasn't fired this time. And offense isn't why Cal fired Dykes.W said:

At Cal?? Justin Wilcox is reported to be the hire.BMX Bandit said:
Has new coach been officially hired?
From what I saw, Spavital bolted before Wilcox was signed. Sure, he was playing the odds of not being retained, but it's an upgrade for Spavital to go to work with old friends at a school that is arguably in better shape than Cal. As opposed to waiting to see what might happen with someone who isn't from the same offensive philosophy who he doesn't know so well, at a school with debt, indifferent fans, and an AD who just canned the guy who hired him.W said:
when you are not retained by the new coaching staff = firing (just in a nicer way).
see Herman and all of Strong's assistants

Doesn't take a genius to jump off that ship.

Yep, that's right where he belongs. Sumlin too, for that matter.vander54 said:
I always thought of Spavital as a Big 12 style coach. I fully expect him to thrive there.

Slav is a good coach and the players loved the guy. He wasn't the problem here. It was is boss now on his fourth oc since he got here.
