Is Bo Nix Being Punished for Oregon's Offense?

IKR? Wouldn't that be an awesome cross-town rivalry starting two Duck QBs a few seasons from now?? -
Is Bo Nix Being Punished for Oregon's Offense?
kirklandduck replied to David Marsh's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Interesting article here. It says don't be surprised if the LA Rams take Bo at #19. Sean McVay needs a successor to Matthew Stafford so it would benefit Nix to sit and learn from a guy like him for a couple seasons. Plus evidently there's a Nix family connection with the current Rams GM. Bo Nix draft rumors have Oregon QB tied inescapably to one team FANSIDED.COM Former Oregon and Auburn quarterback Bo Nix is one of the most polarizing quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft. He may have starting experience out the wazoo, but -
I hope DL snags this guy!

Oregon Football Spring Camp Updates: Practice 11
kirklandduck replied to NJDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I love reading about local kids really capitalizing when they get their chance. Ryan's so young and just at the start of his coaching career, it's very conceivable that in a few years if Coach Terry decides to move on, he could step up at the OL coach. -
Former Rivals 5-Star Thinking of Transferring to Oregon?
kirklandduck replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Given the fact that we had multiple injuries to starters on defense for the Pac-12 championship game last season I say stack up as many as humanly possible. -

Oregon DB Daylen Austin Arrested for Hit-and-Run
kirklandduck replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Well that would explain the arrest. But no details on the circumstances, I'm going to wait for those to come out before forming an opinion. -
Locklyn is NOT Happy With Dan Lanning...
kirklandduck replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Coach Lock making the news again and not in a good way. Sounds like something in his brain just snapped. https://footballscoop.com/news/veteran-rbs-coach-responds-to-carlos-locklyns-comments-who-exactly-is-he-talking-about-curtis-luper-missouri -
Dillingham leaving for the ASU gig was the primary (and most obvious) reason. He's just confirming it now. Dante Moore said only one school stood out when he elected to transfer from UCLA and it was Oregon 247SPORTS.COM Oregon sophomore QB Dante Moore spoke about his decision to come to Oregon via a transfer.

Evidently the reason for the abrupt about-face was NIL (he says it's not but we all know it is). Oregon State’s Damien Martinez claims NIL collective ‘lied,’ Dam Nation says it has ‘1000 percent’ delivered on commitments WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Martinez, a two-time all-conference running back, plans to put his name in the NCAA transfer portal when the spring football window opens Tuesday

Interesting. If Oregon's RB room wasn't so packed I'd say go for it but there's no need to. I wonder if he's making the right decision...he could've taken the 400k, played 1 more season where he demolished G5 opponents to pad his stats, then declared for the NFL. His bonefides wouldn't be in question since he spent his first 2 seasons against P5 competition averaging 1k+ rushing between them.

Oregon Ducks Football: Who’s Flashing on Offense?
kirklandduck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
This should be really interesting to see how things shake out by the time Fall practices start, there's so much talent that it's hard to predict what will happen. The pragmatic side of me believes the returning players have the advantage since they know the playbook already. Tez and Traeshon will be WR1/WR2 (interchangeable) and Gary Bryant upgrading himself to WR3. That being said, Evan Stewart is likely to disrupt this order and possibly Jurrion Dickey and Kyler Kasper as well. I see Gary having the highest odds of being the odd man out and if it happens, may transfer. I'm not saying it's likely but out of the 3 current top returning WRs, he's the most susceptible to get bumped down. -
I mostly agree with that except on one point. I surmise that if Stein moves on in the next couple years, Junior Adams would be the logical choice to bump up to OC. Samples would then could move into Adams spot as WR coach/passing game coordinator (same titles he had at ASU) plus retain the assistant HC title as the next step in his career.
-
I think this is a sneaky good hire, not only from the aspect of getting an elite recruiter and a good RB coach. Given his recent experience with receivers, DL could be using Samples as a hedge against either Stein or Adams leaving in the next couple years...if Stein leaves then Adams could move up to OC and Samples could dovetail into the WR coach spot and get the passing game coordinator title granted as well...same thing if Adams leaves, Samples just takes over his position with the extra title.

Locklyn is NOT Happy With Dan Lanning...
kirklandduck replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Definitely a strange response when Locklyn should know as well as anyone that DL has always preached a culture of improvement in every aspect. Superficially it looks like Lock's taking it as an insult since he's the best RB coach and can't possibly be improved on Ultimately there are going to be details that will never see the light of day. But he did accept and sign the contract extension which gave him a raise and so it seems the intent was there to stay at Oregon originally. -
While I certainly don't love Lock leaving, I can understand the probable reason why ($$$). I think if OBD can hold onto what I can the "core" coaches (HC/OC/DC) for an extended period then things are fine if a position coach or two changes each season. Talented up-and-comer coaches are always looking for the next step after all... Based on the article NJDuck posted, this would be my initial top 3 preferred coaches to fill in: 1. Former Michigan RB Coach Mike Hart. The Wolverines' rush offense was pretty decent, certainly good enough to help win a national title. Would seem appropriate to bring him in as he's got a lot of experience against B10 competition. Little bit weird that he hasn't snagged another gig by now but maybe he's just taking time to decompress. 2. UTSA RB Coach Julian Griffin. He worked in Will Stein's offense for 2 years at UTSA, producing a pretty darn good rush offense. That familiarity with Stein's offensive philosophy and schemes would make him the easiest candidate to hit the ground running quickly if he were hired. Plus he'd probably bring some good Texas recruiting connections. 3. Georgia Offensive Analyst Darrell Dickey. This one's a little left field given DL's preference for younger coaches. But given the relative inexperience at HC and OC, bringing in an old hand with 35 years of coaching experience to balance things out for a couple seasons makes sense (at least to me). High IQ is not the same as wisdom afterall.

Rumors of RB Coach Locklyn Being Hired Away by tOSU...
kirklandduck replied to Augduck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I certainly hope he doesn't leave. He's got a great thing going in Eugene and it's not necessarily better at tOSU. -
Back when the Pac12 was in discussion with the CW I thought it was a good idea. Tons of exposure on a channel available on both cable TV and OTA. Oregon State, Washington State reportedly nearing TV deal with The CW AMP.AWFULANNOUNCING.COM
