Below is a chart of offense, defense and total production of the California Golden Bears football program during Dykes' tenure as head football coach, along with who would be the lowest ranked team during this time period (in purple) and the average team (sky blue). As you may notice, California has been trending downward over the last few years under his tenure. All rankings in this blog come from my Complex Invasion College Football Production Model.
