Certainly look forward to a day where losing to Stanford isn't a a fireable offense.

Good for Cal not accepting a mediocrity at the helm. 

No AD or GM will say 'well, we don't think we can do better than 7 wins a year, so we're happy with status quo,' Luck doesn't say that.  Dave Braine, formerly of VT and GT once said Tech was a 7-win team with occasional 10 win seasons. He was dead right, of course, but that got him ridden out of town. Can't have that be your aspiration.

It will be interesting to see who Cal and Stanford can hire with face of program GMs in charge. Widely circulated picture of Luck with his hands on a player's facemask during the game doing some disciplining. That doesn't happen in professional sports, which is what this is now. Might limit the quality of coach because they are subordinate to the GM.
