The Cal football program appears to be closing in on their next head coach. According to The Athletic, Cal is in negotiations to hire Oregon defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi as their next head coach. Lupoi will be the second coordinator loss for the Ducks, who also saw offensive coordinator Will Stein become Kentucky’s next head coach earlier this week.
The Walnut Creek, Calif. native would return to his alma mater with this position. Lupoi was a defensive lineman for Cal from 2000-05 and later became the team’s defensive line coach from 2008-11. Nearly 15 years later, he’s returning as the team’s head coach.
