The only thing that would've made Lanning's presser better is if he had made some kind of memory quote like, "They can pry this Oregon football from my cold, dead hands!"

I'm of like mind with Canzano on this one. DL has spoken repeatedly about the needs of his family taking a bigger priority. I can't see him uprooting them again, especially since his kids have reached their formative years where environmental stability is king. Plus, I imagine DL is smart enough to understand that accepting any kind of ridiculous offer from aTm (if any came you can bet it would be ridiculous) it would come with the immense pressure of needing to win a national championship immediately. Even Saban or Kirby wouldn't be able to accomplish that in the 1st year of a new program.

He should've been shown the door months ago after that Herm Edwards debacle.

Something like the Trojan mascot (or reasonable facsimile) with a championship trophy stepping in and a donkey with a lump of coal exiting? 😂

Exactly. That's probably the most likely outcome, DL will get another extension and pay bump. But if Rob understands correct (as he should) that's just the price of success in today's college football landscape.

There were multiple chances for Oregon to break the game wide open but they just kept stepping on their own toes (aside from that blasphemous phantom PI call). The OL really seemed out of sorts with so many penalties, seems to be a recurring theme for them (particularly in higher pressure games).

At the end of the day Lanning may chat with aTM but he won't leave Oregon. Why leave behind a good thing that you've built yourself with nearly unlimited resources for a dumpster fire full of meddling boosters?

This is Camden’s 5th year as kicker for Oregon. If he can’t get his mental game under control by now then it’s time to move on. DL preaches competition at every position, kicker should not be exempt.

I get sad when I think back to Herbert's run under Cristobal. Jeez what a waste. He would've been a shoo-in for the Heisman under a competent coach.

Yup that was my point. These Miami fans still can't see the forest through the trees.

A seasoned kicker with multiple instances of these mental roadblocks over his career and is making only 64% of his field goals so far this season. We're 10 games in, DL's probably done as much raising up as he can probably do at this point. If anything, losing his starting spot and earning it back might bring back that confidence. Right now is the time to go a different direction since the next game is against ASU, perfect opponent to allow a new kicker to show you what he can do.

There-in lies the rub. Mario just can't help himself and has to step all over his OCs. He hasn't learned this over the years and I doubt he'll learn it now.

Some of those posters are hilarious. They think that if they had gotten Bo somehow all their losing ways would've been solved. 🤦‍♂️

He's not the only kicker on the roster. Time to give someone else a shot and see what happens

Defense passed the eye test. Offense passed in the 1st half only. Special teams did not pass, Camden Lewis needs to lose his starting spot.

I don’t think DL likes the idea of demoting a long time starter on special teams. But I think it’s time. Give someone else a shot and make Camden earn back his spot. The shake up might be good for him.

I don’t think they’ll drop. But they should have made this a statement game.

Offense (especially the OL) needs to wake up and focus. They’ve allowed USC back in this game.

Old habits die hard. Loyalty is my guess.

He’s not the only kicker on the roster. Given his inconsistency it couldn’t hurt to give someone else a shot.

What on earth is going on with Camden? I think it’s time to try a different kicker.

Seems like the OL constitutes the majority of it. Not sure why they’re so jittery.

That was some bad broken coverage.

That was NOT a PI. Pac12 refs strike again.

That’s what you get for going to the bathroom. Just pee out the living room window like the rest of us!
