Only a couple weeks prior to coach Franklin's departure, coach Dykes was on the record expecting to retain his entire coaching staff. If you remove the major departure at offensive coordinator, the Bears return a very experienced coaching unit along with more than a few capable players. There was no bigger surprise this offseason than the arrival of Jake Spavital from Texas A&M, who fills into Tony Franklin's big shoes. The Bears offense last year was just short of elite and many expect the Bears to make another quantum leap come fall. This week on the Bearcast we dive deep into our first offensive preview, explore the former and active Cal athletes heading to Rio and discuss Donovan Frazier's account of the Fabiano Hale incident. Check out the schedule below!
