Pac-12's new coordinators inherit tough challenges

There has been significant turnover of leadership in the Pac-12 this offseason. California's Justin Wilcox and Oregon's Willie Taggart are the only new head coaches, but coordinators have been replaced around the conference.

Perhaps most notably, four former head coaches have taken on coordinator roles in the Pac-12. Wilcox has assembled a staff with a particularly experienced front line: Beau Baldwin -- formerly Eastern Washington's head man -- will be Cal's offensive coordinator, while former Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter will be the Golden Bears' defensive coordinator.
