So far Herm Edwards has done better than expected as Arizona State head coach. Initially, Edwards hiring was derided and seen as betting on college football joke. Edwards has held his own, and an inconsistent offense has been a point of frustration. By contrast, Cal head coach Justin Wilcox continues to grow in esteem. Already celebrated as a defensive stalwart he has the Golden Bears in Pac 12 North Division title contention. Starting with Oregon and Washington was Cal overlooked on opening day. However, Wilcox is building one of the most fundamentally sound programs in the country.
