California Football Adds Coaches to Staff

The California Golden Bears have announced significant changes to their coaching staff, hiring Kyle Cefalo as the new wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator, along with Nick Rolovich as a senior offensive assistant. Cefalo, previously offensive coordinator at Utah State, brings a strong offensive background and a track record of developing successful wide receivers, having coached multiple All-Americans. Rolovich, who was previously head coach at Hawaii and Washington State, joins the staff following his firing in 2021 for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. These moves come after the Bears ended their 2024 season with a 6-6 record and fired former offensive coordinator Mike Bloesch. Cal's new offensive coordinator, Bryan Harsin, aims to revamp the team's offensive strategy in the upcoming season. Additionally, the Bears will need to adapt to the loss of star quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who has entered the transfer portal.
