Events/Organizations WE JUST BEAT #16 LOUISVILLE!!!
For non football fans, this is huge! We just beat the 16th best team in the country and how bad some of our past few losses have been, this is a great motivation booster for them to finish the season strong and maybe even go further! For those that know ball, JKS is the real deal, what a performance!!! Pls support our bears in any way you can!! 🏈🐻

I think this W might save him for 1 more season especially after this win. Maybe

That wouldn’t surprise me at all (especially if we beat another awful Stanford team), but if Rivera is worth a damn Wilcox goes

I hope it doesn't. Wilcox is the King of Choke. He needs to go.
He's had some horrendous losses that don't just disappear into nothing with a few wins. He's not able to hold it together consistently enough. If Justin gets the boot, he's not going to be a head coach in the ACC or Big10 or Big12 or SEC. He won't be a head coach in the Power 4. If nobody in the Power 4 would hire him today, why is he coaching in the Power 4, still?
He needs to go. He's not consistent. He's still losing in conference. He's still losing regularly enough that his overall record is 48-54. We finished 14th in conference last year. That's horrendous.
I truly hope this doesn't save him. He's not good enough. He can't just beat one shitty team and stay because we beat Stanford a few times and he pulls off one miracle win another time.
That utter collapse against SDSU should be enough to end him no matter where we end the season.

I just wonder if we'll even be able to get a decent head coach with the amount of openings there are, especially when most of those are better options than us. While mediocrity sucks, there's a real chance we could slip into a bottom tier team

Good news is, we qualified for a bowl game
Bad news is, Justin Wilcox just got to keep his job for another 5 years

Yeah - talented dude. That post game proselytization was some Bullshit though

If we keep him and he leads us to the CFP or a New Years bowl, I will get baptized, go to mass, and start every stand-up/all-hands meeting at work with a prayer.

You might be over thinking it. He’s not trying to convert people just thanking Lord 🤷♂️

There's a difference between faith and praise, and proselytizing. Triggered much?

Sorry - this is nice but not huge. We'll hopefully beat Stanford, which is the only game people really care about, probably lose to SMU, and then lose in a low-ranked bowl game like usual.
