Oregon State officials plan to make Cal offensive coordinator Beau Baldwin their next head coach, sources told FootballScoop Friday.
Cal plays their final regular season game tonight while Oregon State closes their season tomorrow at Oregon. Baldwin is not expected to be formally announced until Oregon State’s season is complete.
When the move becomes official, Oregon State will become the first FBS program to fill its head coaching opening in the 2017-18 cycle. The job has been on the market since Gary Andersen abruptly resigned on Oct. 9.
Yet again Wilcox will need to split time between recruiting and finding a new OC as well as a WR coach if Coach Edwards decides to join Baldwin at Oregon State.
