Wow looks like a good start for the Big A. Go to work Uncle Phil

We'll do it the old fashion way. 1 name per post. Who do you want as our next HC. My vote is Aranda he has already shown he could stop Riley and USC.

I had 2 much to drink. Where's the keg?#!!!!!

Hey Charles how about a poll to vote on who should be coach. Let's see their is Araranda. O'Brien. Sitaki. Brady. Kelley Wilcox Tedford McClendon. Anyone Else.

Interesting! Very interesting!

I'd take O'Brian in a heartbeat. look at what he did at Penn State under those circumstances. Now that is what I call leadership. It took him to a HC in the NFL. Great chance he will never go back. Look at the Alabama offense. Without a good OL. Impressive Don't know if he has an alma mater. Don't want to go through that again. I don't believe it matters. Sounds like a winner winner chicken dinner.

Agree 1000%

He restored our program and for that he deserves high credit. He will be remembered as he should be. He was torn about this decision. Anybody with any sense could see that. That's why it took as long as it did. I know people are hurting or wanted him to go. I don't believe he did anything wrong. He is still a man of integrity. He made his decison to go home. You can agree on disagree. We all have our opinions. I for one still respect the man and wish him nothing but the best. Now it's time to move on.

Agree 100 %

Hayward, all life is a sales job. Some are just better at it than others.

What about giving B MaC a shot. He's an offensive guy who also been a defensive coach. Also young, 1 hell of a recruiter and still gives us footprint in SEC land. Already has relationship with our players and some of our top recruits.

Wonder if USC contacted OU. From the way I heard it it was a complete surprise. Also the breaking up of the Big 12 by Texas and Oklahoma to join the sec was the same. Sign of the times. I guess everybody needs a contingency plan now.

I saw a lot of inspiring play by the players. And I will take a 10/3 season over a losing season. Yes the championship game was s**ty but we still have a game to play and the practice that comes with it. It will only help our young players.

Read same article. Nice to know they still know we are their Kryptomite.

Utah was senior ladden with lots of experience. We had the youngest team in the country. They also ran a 12/13 style of offense which gave us fits all year. I believe having nothing but Fr and walk ons at inside linebacker was our Achilles heel against that and it showed. It was stated above perfectly about how to stop our offense and they did so. Nothing more to say. Also the kids knew what was going on and it showed.

I loved Chip. He was cutting edge in those yrs. I don't believe it can be replicated. This is proven by his time at UCLA. Also he hates recruiting although now with the portal I believe that is mitigated somewhat. There's an old saying that You can never go home anymore. I believe that applies here. What's done is over. Move on.

I believe he'd be a good fit. We need a defensive coach who can stop USC new offensive coach. That's how we will be able to compete against them. I believe he's Polynesian which would help in getting top lineman prospects. He's young and charismatic so he can relate to the kids. And he would be leaving his alma mater and dream school so we won't have to go through that again. I still would prefer Araranda first for the same reasons above but if not I believe he's a great choice.

He is a WR coach which means good for our passing game. Also we have a lot of advisors to take over for any coaches that leave. Just like WSU this year.

We have been best on the West coast. We have the most wins and titles to prove it even with all of the turmoil for decades now. We have the Nike Connections. We have the best fans. We have the best facilities. We are going to be OK. I know I'm optimist but I believe why worry about it. It's going to happen 1 day at a time. We have to trust our administrators and AD Mullens to do the job. I believe they will.

And it will be. Everyone take a deep breath. They knew this might happen or should of and are already working on it. I believe they have an idea. Can't wait to see who will be our Christmas present and a happy New Year!

It's ok, the new coach will have his recruits. I know it's not going to be easy but we should be ok. WE ARE OREGON. WE ARE THE NEW BLUE BLOOD. JUSTIN WILCOX, AREANDA FROM BAYLOR OR SITAKI FROM BYU FOR CHRISTMAS.

I want a coach who's gonna stay. Wilcox is said coach. He's our alumni. We are going to need a defensive coach who can possibly stop USC. He, Areanda from Baylor or Sitake from BYU fit the bill. That's what I want for Christmas. It's a happy New Year for us DUCKS.

Hope you are right sir

Been there done that. Mario who?
