Smith River Duck.. If Helfrich had not coached the worst half of losing football in the Alamo bow that I have ever seen, he might yet be the Oregon coach. True the best thing about Mario so far is recruiting. Do remember though that the snake recruited well also.

I do agree with Hayward Duck and as so glad I had car issues and did not drive to Las Vegas yesterday. No desire whatsoever to go to a bowl and watch this offense plod about. Or Mario call time outs in first minutes of game etc. But, winning cures most everything in football for better or worse.

I am not a Mario hater and hope for continuity that he stays. But, Eugene is not for everyone, it is not a big city, the weather sucks and a different kind of diversity than most cities. If he prefers to live in Miami, (I sure would not) then he just may not be the right coach for U of O. There are good quality football players who (and their parents) who prefer being in a safer and small community, and those who prefer the glitter and life in the city. There are coaches whom would prefer to live in Oregon too Im sure. We, need a great coach whom also wants to be here and to stay. Open the pocketbooks and find him If Mario feels like he must go home to that mess. I was born in Texas, raised in So Cal and came back to Oregon by choice from Hawaii. So, I know and understand the benefits of warm weather, ocean, etc. If this is what he prefers, for whatever reason, then just let him go, we do not have to beg! I would never live in Miami myself. Then, let's spend (not my money lol) and get the best coach in the country who would appreciate the lifestyle in Oregon over cities, glitter and easier recruiting ease. We need not only a quality coach, but stability. I don't blame the players for not showing up with this nonsense going on. The Sumataia in particular and Pittman mid season departures are concerning. I would love to hear more about it, but presume that Mullens has more knowledge than I do. So I hope Mario love it here and wants to stay and grows as a coach, but if not, so be it. It is a mostly free country and people should have the opportunity to live and work and play where they choose without much recrimination. I think that we are going to see who Mario really is soon.

Perhaps, Our freshmen were not as ready as Stroud. I believe we will see the Real Mario soon. I am curious as to how he handles himself and the Miami interest. I hope he stays for continuity but, if not, we have lost and hired coaches before. It would please me personally to see the pocketbooks opened for Lane Kiffin Anyways, it was not a bad season really and I will root for Ducks whomever coaches.

The Alamo was probably worse coaching really. But, this is far more embarrassing! So glad I did not drive down there!!

So glad AB is still in lol. He gives us the best chance to what Mario? We need him to finish this comedy in 4th quarter. The fact that Butterfield or TT is not in, I am done defending Mario. Sure lots of injuries and young kids. I'd like to hear what Joe Morehead really thinks. There may not be a major conference that Oregon could win right now, recruits or not. WTH is going on inside Oregon?

Is this really worth 7 million dollars? NO OFFENSE EQUALS NO WIN This is 2021, not 2001. Go ducks.

USC has gotten serious it seems. Game on!!

When it gets down to real, these thing usually come down to who offers the most money. So, If Miami offers and our donors want to keep him, it is probably within their control. Deep pockets are largely what runs college football now. These new financial arrangements for athletes are a new paradigm. We shall see what happens soon. Oregon will not disappear should Mario leave. I hope he stays personally and we pay what is necessary, but it is not like losing Chip Kelly ay the time. We have not been a real playoff threat since. I think he stays, but lol, I don't even know the man. So Phil, what do you want to do? Go Ducks! Win the Rose Bowl, the grandaddy of them all.

Thank you, very well written. I've been watching almost that long also. Do I like our offensive system, not really. Do I remember Justin Herbert not being allowed to throw either, yes. Do I remember that the last time we looked for a HC, all we came up with was Slick Willie, yes. Am I aware that there are multiple high end programs looking for a coach now, yes Would I hire Lane Kiffin, yes in a second. Is this the time to look for an new coach with a 9-2 record and chance at Rose Bowl, I'd say NO Over expectations of a deluded fanbase, probably. Curious as to what took place with Micah Pittman, yes. Does Mario win, yes..............................

Yay Duck Ladies!!

dude just can't throw a deep pass... oh well.. keep running then!!

hate to repeat myself.. but 1 yard passes are useless!

Just totally blew the momentum they had. Had the gift to start the game and should have put the game away. Bad fumble.. No passing attack. Don't care how many he completes for 3 yards, that is a run!! I think I've seen this before. I sure hope we get our 2 point win!!

I will always root for them and they are 8-1 somehow. But, I am so sick of short passes going nowhere. Defense it doing it usual thing. If we lose, once again it will be due no no imagination on offense and no downfield passing threat. Go ducks!!

Charles, Do you think Oregon will pay Mario enough to keep him? 8 million to tucker at mich st i just read..

So happy to see us move the ball like this. But, Go Anthony! Disappointing we do know have qb ready to go who is a bit better passer. Go ducks! An defense lol well that is another subject doe another time . Are we safe with a 14 point lead at any time?
