Bryan Harsin Hired as Cal Offensive Coordinator

Cal has officially hired former Auburn and Boise State head coach Bryan Harsin as their new offensive coordinator, aiming to revitalize their program after a 6-6 season in the ACC. Harsin, known for his successful tenure at Boise State where he compiled a 69-19 record, faces scrutiny due to his tumultuous stint at Auburn, which ended in controversy and a 3-5 record. Head coach Justin Wilcox expressed excitement about the hire, noting Harsin's offensive expertise and their previous collaboration at Boise State. Questions remain about Harsin's two-year absence from coaching and how he will adapt to the current Cal roster and culture. The move is seen as a critical opportunity for Wilcox to break out of a cycle of mediocrity and improve the team's offensive performance. Fans have mixed feelings about Harsin's fit within the Cal community, particularly given his past political views.
