Bears head coach says Cal did everything it could to keep Mendoza. LB Cade Uluave, RB Jaivian Thomas expected to play in the LA Bowl, but Cal still deciding on a quarterback for that game
to enter the transfer portal and said Cal did everything it could to keep him. Wilcox’s comments on the issue will be noted later in this report. But now Wilcox must turn his attention to determining who will be the Bears’ starting quarterback in the December 18 LA Bowl against UNLV.
“Right now CJ and EJ are taking the majority of the reps,” Wilcox said Tuesday. “Chandler is day-to-day so we’ll see how he’s doing tomorrow. He did a little more today and threw the ball.” Cal will be in a similar to UNLV, which lost head coach Barry Odom, who left to take the Purdue head coaching job. Rebels offensive coordinator Brennan Marion is still on the UNLV staff and is being considered for the head coaching job there. He also might follow Odom to Purdue to become the Boilermakers offensive coordinator. UNLV’s interim head coach for the LA Bowl is Del Alexander.
However, the absence of Mendoza will be difficult to overcome. Wilcox refused to comment on the discussion he had with Mendoza before the redshirt sophomore quarterback made his decision, but the head coach had this response when asked whether he was surprised by Mendoza’s decision to leave.
