#1 Sitake out of BYU if they can get him. He's at his alma mater but maybe the challenge would be enough.
#2 Areanda out of Baylor west coast guy.
#3 J Tedford is healthy and wants to coach again
If they don't work get me J Wilcox. I want someone who wants to be here for the long haul.

Chip doesn't have to run the same blur surprise offence as he did when at Oregon. He went 8-4 this year with much less talent than Oregon
has. Take away the P12 Champ game and thats only one less win that MC got the Ducks. Chips NFL tour was a bust. Where else would he
need to go? Certainly not back to NH. Yeah he sucks at recruiting but some of that can be fixed with really good recruiting assistant
coaches.
I think the head coach is the closer. I just don't see it working with CK
Especially with the boom going on at USC. We are going to need someone to mitigate that if we want to be competitive yr in yr out.

Wasn't Utah senior top heavy this year. I believe that it was. Experience is the equalizer of talent. Put both together and you have a great chance at winning.
Look at the LSU championship from 2019. 15/0 senior ladden. Huge amount of draft picks. Next year Not so good.
Look at our win at tOSU this year. We were still healthy missing only JT and JF and experienced. Fast forward to end of the season and we are missing 10 starters and having to play true Fr and walk ons.
FB is complicated with many moving parts.

I wanted Justin when Taggert left. I'd love to him be our next Coach. He already has a relationship with Deryter and Yates. Bring former Duck OC Musgrave, he was an OC in the pros and knows what he is doing.
He has connections with high schools in Seattle, Los Angeles Bay Area and upper Mid West. He is an alumni and was a great player for us. That's a Win Win proposition and I'd take it in a heartbeat.
Do it now so there's time before early recruiting.

Bring in Belloti to face Stoops. We all wanted to go back to how we use to play. And would be cool to give Belotti another shot at beating the Sooners in the bowl game. I think we lost in 2007 if I'm not mistaken.

I believe injuries were the major reason for this season. The only other thing that comes close is the QB accuracy with the deep ball. Let's look at the injured that didn't play in the championship game.
Offense
#1 RB Jr CJ Verdel, #3 RB So S Dollars
#1 WR's Sr JJ Johnson, Sr J Redd, So M Pittman.
TE's So Cam McCormick, So P Herbert.
OL's Jr R Walk (our best lineman and center) So J Denis.
Defense
ISL So J Flowe ( our best ISL), Sr D Mathis, So J LaDuke, Fr K Brown.
DB's Jr B Williams and Jr S Stevens (our best Safeties).
DL K Hudson/Ware (our best IDL)
That's 10 Starters and upper classmen.
That's just the players I remember not playing last 3 games. Look at all the experience and who we had to replace them with was true Fr and walk ons.
Let's go over significant injuries during season that caused them to miss multiple games
DL's Jr J Tib, So B Swinson
OL's Sr A Forsyth, Fr J Powers/Light
LB's So M Funa
TE Sr D J Williams
I know FB teams have injuries but this is excessive. I believe this is why we had an up and down season this year. We were the youngest team in the country and it showed.
Of course I'm not discounting the same up and down play of Sr QB AB who struggled on the road just like our team.
There's 1 team that mirrors us and that's Texas A&M. They were supposed to contend for a PO spot until they were decimated by injuries like us.
And so it goes.

I just heard a podcast from andrewnemic.com I believe that's the link but this phone is so difficult to manage.
Anyway he's the top recruiting anylist for 247sports in our region and he has a take on Riley. Also thoughts on the 22 class of recruits

Great post. "They do love us" for any of you who watch the Oscars.

Again I reiterate my belief that most of the complaints about MC are unfounded based on the YOUTH of the team since 2019, Covid and injuries this season.
I can't wait to see what happens next year. As far as wanting to control the LOS, running the ball to create the passing game and recruiting I love MC and what he is doing.
MORE EXPERIENCE EQUALS BETTER PERFORMANCE.

DUCKS 28 24 2 2 300.
I think we stop their running game even with out Hudson/Ware. And we have a similar passing game as with the Beav's.
On to the RB. Go DUCKS Fly HIGH

I agree it's his health. We don't know what kind of surgery he had but it was an emergency so it's was serious.
I believe if or when it goes down its the importance and tremendous amount of work recruiting that MC requires and his lack of health or desire to do so.
As far as the idea that it's MC and his offensive mindset, JM knew what it was before he accepted the job.
MC has been explicit in his desire to control the game, running the ball and taking what the defense gave him.
Whether it's running all game or passing,since he became HC that and recruiting has been his mojo.
We just don't have the QB with the accuracy. With that combined with youth of the team since 2019, Covid and injuries this year we really haven't seen what our team can and will be.
I believe if JM moves on, MC will find a great OC and the DUCKS will keep on flying.

With our youth I don't know what to expect. I do know the more experience you have the easier it is to be mentally tough.

I believe it was the transfer to HC and then the huge amount of decommits.

Wow, that's the best it's ever been. Now we just gotta get the players signed.
Go DUCKS Fly HIGH

Still amazes me that ASU has trouble they should be a top program every year with the advantages they have for recruiting. A large population center, media, sun and girls. What more could a teenage boy want?
-
We did sign all of our verbals last year at early signing. Then we got some flips for regular signing period. Hope it was not a 1 and done.

The leveler of talent is experience. The more experience you have the easier it is to win on the road, deal with adversity and deal with the unbelievable pressure. Remember these are still kids not men.
Experience and talent is when you get dominance. How many teams are undefeated this year? 2 out of what, 128 teams across the country. That's about what it is every year.
CK was winning, in fact he had the best run in history since start of the BCS system and still struggled to recruit top talent to Eugene. Without USC having a good coach. The top recruits still went there.
I believe it's a mistake to believe we are going to be able to stay at the level we have had and will slide back to the Belotti times of only having a good club when we were experienced.
-
It definitely won't be the team from tOSU. 8 starters who played in that game are out
-
We still gotta go 3 hrs back East. Sure would like some of these games out west at a neutral site.
-
Good points.
-
Sorry I just can't agree with all of your thoughts. When I was that age the only thing on my mind was sun, girls and more girls. Oh yeah I would add money and fame too.
-
I'm sorry it's nice but me as a teenage boy I wanted sun, girls and more girls. See ya!!!!!!!!!######

Oklahoma has been to the PO. That's what the most talented 5* kids want. They want to win, get the exposure and to be a pro. Hollywood is a big draw, especially now with the NIL.
Yes some will want to leave but not a lot to the rest of the PAC as is what happens when USC is good.
They have the advantage of sun, girls, family/friends and fame. What else could a teenage meglamac boy want?
We got Eugene, nature and get away from the family/friends. You tell me which would you choose if you were him? My choice would definitely be USC, IF THEY WANTED ME.
Which is what happened for all those years. Remember I'm a 72 Duck.
