SF Examiner: Cal’s athletic department needs a change at the top

In the wake of a 1-11 season, it's natural for Cal alumni to romanticize about the good old days when the football team stank but you could be proud knowing it was among the best and brightest squads in the country.

The Bears didn't win a single Pac-12 Conference football game this year and now they're also ranked last among 72 major-conference teams in the most recent Graduation Success Rate data (44 percent) released by the NCAA.

Last year, Jeff Tedford took the fall for the team's dismal performance on and off the field. Who's next?

Ultimately, the buck stops with athletic director Sandy Barbour.
