Cal fired head coach Justin Wilcox after eight-plus seasons in charge, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

The dismissal comes after the Golden Bears fell 31-10 to Stanford on Saturday. Cal led 10-7 before surrendering 24 unanswered points in the loss.

Wilcox took the Golden Bears' job in 2017, compiling a 48-55 record as head coach.

He produced his best season in 2019 when Cal went 8-5, one of only two winning campaigns the program posted under Wilcox.

Cal is 6-5 this year.
