Not a fan and I can't excuse the salesman's pitch. lack of coaching with x and o's, lack of self blame, etc.
But I will come to his defense on the differences in players of today.
One of the very few strengths of Cal is his ability is to recruit and motivate talented players to high levels of play but in just a few short years those talented players aren't as receptive.
There can be many reasons for this, NIL, Parent Influence, Transfer Portal, etc
That weakens one of his strengths to the point, of not getting the production he once did.
I think he realizes he has to change his strategy. If he can, I think he may be able to be succesful again.
