Also true. Ann Arbor probably has the most in common with Boulder of any other major college town, right down to being on the fringes of a larger metro area, except Boulder stuck me as slightly more tony whereas Ann Arbor still has a few solidly middle class sections. Berkeley shares the hippie dippy liberal past, but not much else.

Jeff Fisher would not be a good choice. In fact he'd be an awful choice. He's never once held a position in the college ranks. Probably doesn't know the first thing about how to recruit or work with 18-22 year old kids.

Miles would be an interesting candidate, but I'm guessing Cal will go all in for Chip Kelly. He may not be much of a pro coach, but he is a top-10 college coach, he gets right back into a conference he is heavily familiar with, and he is an instant upgrade for Cal in all areas: coaching, recruiting, and fan support. Kids will commit to Cal who would've otherwise never even considered the school. And he doesn't even have to move.

The question will just be whether or not Kelly wants to get back into the game now, or take a year off and wait for something potentially better next year.

desire to be a head coach. While I haven't seen the details, I've yet to hear of an assisant's contract that has a buyout to keep him from taking a HC job.

Aside from showing their commitment to Drevno, the main point is that It locks him in here instead of moving to a different OC job. There would be a buyout for that. It also sets a standard for salary and security that a low G5 school might need to top.

All of them??? This seems like an odd thing for a liberal, west coast university to do. Won't this lead to a Title IX investigation of massive proportions? :-)
