The most decorated gymnast in University of California history, Tim McNeill, will rejoin the Golden Bear program as its men’s gymnastics coach …
McNeill, who graduated from Cal in 2008 as a five-time NCAA champion, spent the 2009 season as a graduate intern with the Bears before training full-time with the U.S. National team this past year. …
“Being the head coach at Cal is absolutely my dream job,” McNeill said. …
McNeill replaces Barry Weiner, who retired from his position as head coach in June after posting a 19-year record of 266-111-1, which included NCAA championships in 1997 and ’98. …
I’m assuming this means that Cal has survived and will contend the NCAA again this season. Congratulations.
And assuming that Tim will retire as an athlete. He’s got big shoes to fill at Cal. But at least he knows the Weiner system.

Any cuts made to Cal athletics will go into effect after next season.
Probably the program will survive in the short term – at least until 2014.
