Take that job Tony! You’ve earned it buddy! Spread your wings and fly away.

Then after that Cal better be on the first flight to Champaign, Illinois to get his replacement.

All ya'll wishing him away like he wasn't the main defensive coach and did a great job with this team. I'm not saying we can't get as good or better replacement, but ya'll just wishing for change for the sake of change and have no idea what goes on day to day.
We did fine defensively before he got here...... were not losing Tony Bennetts defense if he goes.

he was the captain of the ship...so it's on him
You think he did not know what his brother was doing, probably told his brother to do it. Just like Pitino did not know.
While I agree with your alls sentiments plausible deniability is key in all this scenario. Hell Sampson, Capel, Pitino(potentially), Sean Miller, and Pearl all still have jobs and they're HC's. Theres not much to point at antigua and say hes so dirty that hes unhireable especially as just an assistant.

I don't know how good of an assistant he really is but I assume he is decent if he is being considered for a head coaching job. I do know we need major help offensively and I hope if he leaves we go after an offensive minded coach to replace him.

We don't need a bunch of defensive coaches on the same staff when we look very mediocre on offense with superior talent to most everyone we play. We need someone that can help us take advantage of the talent gap to where we don't have to keep games in the 60's to win. I have no idea who that might be though.

I am not in the camp that certain mistakes should keep you out of Coaching forever. Pitino yes, Sean Miller looks that way but not sure if bringing AO back is potentially worth the innuendo that comes with the hire.

I like almost everyone's replacement options. It's time for some new blood. Not sure either would do it, but I would love Drew or Avery. Both have proven they can recruit. Especially Drew and he's young. I know it was a horrible season, but who knows if he hadn't lost Garland.

You know he got in trouble for letting a recruit sleep on his couch during an unofficial visit instead of just leaving him on the streets right? His brother was apparently the guy doing the rest

Wow what a terrible person ... right lol

I am not sure of how to evaluate the job any of the individual asst coaches do. As a group the staff is doing pretty well.

Why does Robic get a pass? I realize he's been with Cal forever but he doesn't recruit anymore. Cal gave him some created special assignment position. I'm sure he analyzes video and scouts opponents but Cal has never placed much emphasis on what the other team does.
