Cal is expected to make a change at offensive coordinator

According to a report from Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports/247 Sports, Cal will likely make a change at the offensive coordinator coaching position.

Mike Bloesch is Cal’s offensive coordinator and offensive line coach this season, but the Bears rank 13th in the 17-team ACC in offensive rating (26.1 points per game) and ninth in total offense (382.8). The biggest surprise is that the Bears rank 14th in the conference in rushing offense, averaging 3.5 yards per carry. Bloesch’s plan was to rely heavily on the RJN game.

.Bloesch was Cal’s offensive line coach last season and was praised for his work with the offensive line in 2023. He has served as an offensive line coach at several colleges and it is very likely that he will remain in that position at Cal.

Bloesch added the offensive coordinator title after last season when Jake Spavital left his position as Cal’s offensive coordinator to become Baylor’s offensive coordinator after one season at Berkeley. Spavital succeeded Bill Musgave as Cal offensive coordinator.

Cal has been plagued by deficiencies on offense all season. The Bears scored just nine points in a 14-9 loss to Florida State, which was the Seminoles’ only ACC win. The Bears scored 15 points in a 17-15 loss to Pittsburgh and did little offensively in a 38-6 loss to SMU in the final game of the regular season. Starting quarterback Fernando Mendoza and leading rusher Jaivian Thomas did not play for Cal against SMU.
