On November 23, Cal announced they were parting ways with head coach Justin Wilcox; Nick Rolovich, a senior offensive assistant, would be elevated to interim head coach. Wilcox accrued a 48–55 record, with five bowl berths, making him the program's sixth-winningest head coach.[2]

On December 4, the program hired Oregon defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi as their next head coach, the same day they accepted a bid to play in the Hawaii Bowl against Hawaii.[3]
