The '''2016 California Golden Bears football team''' represents the [[University of California, Berkeley]] in the [[2016 NCAA Division I FBS football season]]. The Bears are led by fourth year head coach [[Sonny Dykes]] and play their home games at [[California Memorial Stadium|Memorial Stadium]]. They are members of the North Division of the [[Pac-12 Conference]].
The '''2016 California Golden Bears football team''' represented the [[University of California, Berkeley]] in the [[2016 NCAA Division I FBS football season]]. The Bears were led by fourth-year head coach [[Sonny Dykes]] and played their home games at [[California Memorial Stadium|Memorial Stadium]].

Shortly after the conclusion of the 2015 season, Dykes stated that he did not anticipate any staff turnover.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.californiagoldenblogs.com/2016/1/14/10765368/sonny-dykes-tony-franklin-art-kaufman-california-golden-bears-2016|title=Sonny Dykes says Cal football coaching staff likely to stay the same, with minor adjustments|website=California Golden Blogs|date=14 January 2016 |access-date=February 5, 2016}}</ref> However, offensive coordinator [[Tony Franklin (American football coach)|Tony Franklin]] resigned from his position at California a few weeks after Dykes made this statement. Franklin left to take up the same position at [[Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders football|Middle Tennessee State]], citing a desire to move closer to his family in Kentucky.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/97537/oc-tony-franklin-leaves-cal-for-middle-tennessee-state|title=OC Tony Franklin leaves Cal for Middle Tennessee|website=ESPN.com|date=22 January 2016 |access-date=February 5, 2016}}</ref> Dykes replaced Franklin with [[Jake Spavital]], who had recently been fired by [[Texas A&M Aggies football|Texas A&M University]]. Like Dykes, Spavital was from Mike Leach's Air Raid coaching tree. An additional signing from that lineage was the transfer of quarterback [[Davis Webb]] from Texas Tech; Webb completed his bachelor's degree in three years transferring to Cal for his final year of eligibility as a graduate student.

Cal went 5–7 in 2016, winning only 3 out of their 9 Pac-12 games. Dykes once again lost to Stanford at home by two touchdowns and to USC in Los Angeles by three touchdowns. His team also lost to [[2016 San Diego State Aztecs football team|San Diego State]] of the Mountain West Conference. Highlights of that season were Cal's second straight beating of then-No. 11 [[2016 Texas Longhorns football team|Texas]] and the team's win over [[2016 UCLA Bruins football team|UCLA]]. This was the first time that Dykes was able to lead the team to beat one of Cal's three traditional rivals – Stanford, UCLA and USC. In his only season as Cal's quarterback, Davis Webb beat Jared Goff's passing attempts and completions records, and equaled his marks for 300-yard passing games (10) and touchdowns (43), with 37 in the air and six on the ground.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://calbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8245|title=Davis Webb - 216 Football Roster|website=University of California Golden Bears Athletics|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190120043305/https://calbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8245|archive-date=2019-01-20|access-date=2019-07-12}}</ref><ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/calberk.sidearmsports.com/documents/2017/7/26/17FB_Cal_Record_Book.pdf|title=2017 California Football Record Book|work=Cal Athletics|publisher=University of California, Berkeley|access-date=26 September 2017}}</ref> Webb was drafted in the third round by [[New York Giants]].

Sonny Dykes was fired on January 8, 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailycal.org/2017/01/08/sonny-dykes-fired-cal-football-head-coach/|title=Sonny Dykes fired as Cal football head coach – The Daily Californian|date=January 8, 2017}}</ref> He finished at Cal with a four-year record of 19–30. The firing came as a surprise, as his contract was previously extended and most coaching changes come right after the end of a season and not the following year. Two of the stated concerns were Dykes' commitment to the program, as at the end of 2016 Dykes was interviewed by [[Baylor Bears football|Baylor University]] for their head coaching position, and the significant decreases in home game attendance – thirty percent fewer season tickets were renewed for 2017 than for the previous year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Here-s-the-real-reason-Cal-fired-Sonny-Dykes-10848862.php|title=Here's the real reason Cal fired Sonny Dykes – San Francisco Chronicle|date=October 16, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171016040347/http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Here-s-the-real-reason-Cal-fired-Sonny-Dykes-10848862.php|archive-date=October 16, 2017|url-status=dead|access-date=16 October 2017}}</ref>

Rankings from AP Poll

The 2016 California Golden Bears football team represented the University of California, Berkeley in the 2016 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Bears were led by fourth-year head coach Sonny Dykes and played their home games at Memorial Stadium.

Shortly after the conclusion of the 2015 season, Dykes stated that he did not anticipate any staff turnover.[1] However, offensive coordinator Tony Franklin resigned from his position at California a few weeks after Dykes made this statement. Franklin left to take up the same position at Middle Tennessee State, citing a desire to move closer to his family in Kentucky.[2] Dykes replaced Franklin with Jake Spavital, who had recently been fired by Texas A&M University. Like Dykes, Spavital was from Mike Leach's Air Raid coaching tree. An additional signing from that lineage was the transfer of quarterback Davis Webb from Texas Tech; Webb completed his bachelor's degree in three years transferring to Cal for his final year of eligibility as a graduate student.

Cal went 5–7 in 2016, winning only 3 out of their 9 Pac-12 games. Dykes once again lost to Stanford at home by two touchdowns and to USC in Los Angeles by three touchdowns. His team also lost to San Diego State of the Mountain West Conference. Highlights of that season were Cal's second straight beating of then-No. 11 Texas and the team's win over UCLA. This was the first time that Dykes was able to lead the team to beat one of Cal's three traditional rivals – Stanford, UCLA and USC. In his only season as Cal's quarterback, Davis Webb beat Jared Goff's passing attempts and completions records, and equaled his marks for 300-yard passing games (10) and touchdowns (43), with 37 in the air and six on the ground.[3][4] Webb was drafted in the third round by New York Giants.

Sonny Dykes was fired on January 8, 2017.[5] He finished at Cal with a four-year record of 19–30. The firing came as a surprise, as his contract was previously extended and most coaching changes come right after the end of a season and not the following year. Two of the stated concerns were Dykes' commitment to the program, as at the end of 2016 Dykes was interviewed by Baylor University for their head coaching position, and the significant decreases in home game attendance – thirty percent fewer season tickets were renewed for 2017 than for the previous year.[6]
