If they can't even fire the guy right, what's supposed to give 59er fans any confidence that they'll hire right? (Petersen still #1 choice according to this which LOL: http://www.californiagoldenblogs.com/jeff-the UC system's highest paid employee-fired-watch/2012/11/16/3657298/jeff-the UC system's highest paid employee-the Pac-12 school with the lowest football graduation rate-football-head-coaching-search-chris-petersen-hue-jackson-ron-rivera )

I mean, they do realize that getting the jump on the opposition is important, right?

WIM, you aren't BCS game-less in over 50 years at the flagship university of the biggest state in the country by being competent.  "C.al" is a verb among many California fans I know, as in "to C.al" is to screw up that which can be.  If it is possible for UC to fire its underperforming head football coach, it is possible for them to do it very poorly, and of course, also hire the next one poorly as well.
