RIvals is reporting that Greg Brandon will be taking over Offensive coordinator at Wyoming. Apparently Arroyo is off to the pac-12. I think Brandon is an upgrade, he was a head coach at Bowling Green and the o-coordinator at Virginia. I always thought Arroyo was a pussie with his play calling anyways.

As of right now Cal has no O- coordinator, but what I'm hearing is Arroyo will be QB coach. Looked at Cal's roster and they have about 6 QB's on their roster right now.
Tom Dienhart of Rivals/Yahoo confirmed that Arroyo will be QB coach at Cal.
DC just did what Glenn would not.
Had Glenn had let his OC, cockhill, go early, when it was obvious he was in over his head, then Joe might still be coaching at WYO. Instead he stuck with a poor OC and it probably cost him his job at UW.
kudos for DC for being aggressive and not hesitating to improve his staff.

Guess things are starting to make more sense now as the smoke clears and we see what was the cause of it all. I would say this change was planned for some time just not released to the public and makes perfect sense now.
Gregg Brandon is a good step in right direction and I absolutely agree Glenn was to loyal to his OC and in the end it cost him his job. I really hope to see a better run O next season and less 3 and out running sideline to sideline.

What's probably the best couple of things about this, is that:
1. Greg Brandon has been here before and was a proven coach then (3 bowl games and 2 conference titles)
2. Worked under Urban Meyer with the spread, and has had great offenses.
3. Took him from a BCS school.

It gave the offense's stats for the 2010 season in the cowboy altitude article, and said he had been the OC from '09-'10. Never said he was let go or anything.billings said:
