It was a tough year for Cal football in Berkeley this fall.
Things went far better for a couple of Golden Bears residing in Green Bay and Washington D.C.
While the 2020 Cal team fell far short of expectations, going 1-3 without a bowl bid in this pandemic-dominated season, ex-Bears Aaron Rodgers and Ron Rivera had years worth celebrating.
And if the NFL were to honor them as MVP and Coach of the Year, respectively, Rodgers and Rivera would achieve something never before accomplished as alums of the same school sweeping the awards.
Since Associated Press first began its MVP and Coach of the Year awards in 1957, the winners have never come from the same college.
