Fox coached at Nevada for five seasons, winning the conference regular season four times and taking the Pack to the NCAA Tournament three times. He then got the Georgia job and had nine mostly mediocre seasons there, making the tourney just twice before being fired last year.

Cal is looking for a new coach after firing Wyking Jones following two disastrous 8-win campaigns.
