Overall, not a bad take on the situation. I find myself I’m agreement with a lot of it.

Yea, he’d stick around Eugene😆

I think you are right 1Ducker1, Mario will unfortunately never have it as good as he had it in Oregon, and when he doesn’t win the Natty in 3 or 4 years he will get the Diaz treatment.

I think the right hire is going to upset about half of us. People are sharing pros and cons for about every name out there. I’ve heard upside and downside for (insert coach name here), he’s great, he sucks, can’t recruit, stuck in the past, not enough experience, offensive wizard, players coach, retired, under contract…. The list goes on. I think I will trust in the brain trust and root for whoever we get. If I know anything, it is that lots of people (including me) will have lots to say about our vision for OBD!

Great post Duck1984! Wouldn’t that be a great hire🤗

Unleash the freshman QBs and WRs and let r rip!

Desert Duck, I didn’t get the hit that Mullens didn’t see it coming, I got the hit he was miffed by the lack of courtesy and decorum from Miami. And ya gotta admit, it was pretty much a sh*t show the way it went down.

How many coaches are going with him? Has anyone heard?

Thank you Charles for being a voice of reason. We all make choices, and sometimes it is a choice we’d rather not make. Sometimes it’s a choice we’d have made differently under other circumstances, and none of us makes the perfect choice every time. I hope MCs choice pans out for him, I wish him and his family well, and thank them for their service. Now, insert more quarters and push PLAY! While I wish this had played out differently, at the end of the day, I AM A DUCK FAN, and I will root for them regardless of the coach.

Ogeron to Oregon?

Do you think the Alamo Bowl will even offer Oregon? My bad, it seems they already did…

Southwest Duck, you and me both! My gut feeling is a lot of folks will be cursing Mario for leaving and for taking so many of our (his) 4 & 5 star players with him. What do you want to bet the Alamo Bowl takes a pass on the Ducks this year?

Wandering in the wilderness, here we come!

How many 4 and 5 stars go with him?

Reading a other post just now, sounds like Mario is gone. I guess we will see how many Ducks follow him out. Next man up! Go Ducks.

I agree with that statement Southwest Duck. I am pretty sure that if MC is a reader of these and other site posts, he’s got the hint that the fans are done with him, so why not move on? i don’t think he will, and hope he stays, but if he does leave, we are losing a lot of awesome talent and next year will be fighting for a bottom feeder bowl. With Mario, we will be in the hunt. Without MC, I think the Ducks will be lucky to win 7 game next year. As I read some of these more anti-Mario posts, I can’t help but think “Be Careful What You Ask For.”

13 of 24 passing for 147 yards, no TD and two picks, one a pick six. 10 rushes for a loss of 5 yards… He played 4 quarters. For what? To pad his stats?

Bama is showing what an accurate QB can do for an offense. Are we looking at a rematch as 1&4 or 2&3?

I seem to remember Helfrich had a hard time coaching up QBs not named Marcus Mariota.

And it didn’t start late in the game, it was that way from the opening drive. No earthly reason not to give one of the Freshman QBs a shot in the 2nd half.

How many Ducks not named Sewell balled out for the entire game? 10 or 12? Just asking the forum. I don't recall seeing a lot of “playing with hair on fire” or “leaving it on the field.”

True that Mike, and what makes it worse is that they are getting this ridiculous amount of $$ from “Institutes of Higher Education.” You’d think they would know better…

I wish him well in his new venture and hope his family enjoy their new locale. I also thank him for sharing his football prowess with the Ducks. Next Man Up. Go Ducks!!!

The pastures don’t seem any greener, but he gets to be the bull.

I never thought I’d see the Ducks just give up. KTs draft stock is gonna plummet.
