I think both OSU and Arizona stepped into a vacuum during a season that saw the conference getting too much credit overall nationally, but who I was to argue with everyone thinking the conference was awesome for once? OSU felt like “Penn State West” to me. Seriously, who in the conference was any good outside the top 2? Who did Arizona actually beat outside of OSU and an Oklahoma team without a ton of starters playing? They gave USC a run for their money, but in fact lost to a relatively terrible USC team. They looked good, and probably were pretty good at the end, but just about every team outside the top 4 had a disappointing season in conference. Both UA and OSU definitely stepped up and were solid, but I think they got a wee bit inflated. I realize in some way you could say the same thing about us. The difference is we man-handled most teams we played. Interesting that coaches of the #1 #3 and #4 teams all cashed in from a year the conference was finally perceived as strong, despite USC and UCLA being horrible.

Wait, am I supposed to like one of these two?

He got pretty lucky with a QB injury. Fun thing is we’re now spiritually bringing along OSU and Arizona to our new conference, just with different costumes lol

Grab while the iron is hot, no guarantees Arizona wins 10 next year.

Guess the semantics didn’t work out. That answer was totally shifty and conditional, definitely not emphatic

Given the source that inspired this I’m going to go with 0% chance

Chance to double salary and go to the B1G seem like compelling reasons. I’m sure they won’t touch football in an overt manner, but salary wise would they be able to (politically and fiscally) double their coaches salary? Keep assistant coaches? This is the way for them I think

And TUCSON, Ariz. - University of Arizona President Robert Robbins says in order for the school to get its finances back in order, employees will be laid off. The Southern Arizona-based public university is grappling with a $240 million miscalculation of its predicted cash on hand, and Robbins told the university's Faculty Senate that there will be employee layoffs in the Athletics Office.

Arizona discovered a $250m mistake recently, major dumpster. They ideally need a coach that can bring a young QB along…totally would have been wanting Fisch if DL had left.

Arizona is a fiscal dumpster fire, I’m guessing Fisch will jump by Tuesday

1 or 5 star in HS doesn’t matter, he’s considered the second highest rated player in the portal that everyone wanted in 2024.

I’m going to go with DeBoer goes to Alabama if they can’t poach an SEC rival, and Michigan promotes a “Michigan Man” from the current staff…which will most likely be a mistake.

Greg Byrne still has a soft spot for Oregon, TY Greg for elevating us lol

I’d say it’s over for good unless he goes to the NFL one day. Dude just did what would have been unthinkable just 2-3 years ago.

Step 1 - No more PC complete Step 2 - Get rid of all UW crossover fans incomplete So close. A simple two step process and I can root for a Seattle team with out hurling.

No emphatic denials and counting to noon tomorrow.

Well, he hasn’t denied it yet and I’d have to think he would have by now as this is the hottest story in sports. I think no denial by like, noon tomorrow = he’s gone.

Alabama’s AD grew up in Eugene, maybe Greg will take mercy on us 😅

I endorse this!

Agree with all points of why he should or could stay, but this is a behemoth that he has some ties to, and he is on the short list. I wouldn’t follow Saban myself, but I’m also not DL.

Harbaugh will be fleeing the college game most likely, high chance of show cause being slapped on him.

Kiff, Kirby, and Sark would neuter a conference opponent and be good hires. Dabo, Norvell might be looking to flee ACC be very glad we’re in the new B1G, but I think high chance we’re screwed.

This one of three jobs he might be tempted by, so I’d put this at high red alert, if we were still in the PAC I think he’d be gone

And he’s 72, doesn’t need to be some deep reason beyond age and he has 7 titles.

Hold breath a bit
