Seems they doth protest too much!

Yost would be an interesting option, assuming Oregon didn't leave a permanent stain on his psyche...

“Life changing money” is true as far as it goes but a long successful career is also important. Going to a dream job and being fired in a few years in a disaster can harm a career. Unless he is okay with retirement at 35… I think he would have been well served to wait a bit.
I was once offered one of those "life changing money" opportunities. There were some issues, one of which was that it involved a big increase in physical risk, in an industry known for risk, but... The real deal breaker was LOCATION.
I would have needed to move my, at the time, very young family away from everyone and everything they knew and loved, to, er................
OKLAHOMA.
Could. Not. Do. It.
My grandfather got to Oregon by driving a herd of cattle for Stillwater, to Bozeman, Montana.
From Bozeman, he drove a herd of horses to a little town in the Willamette Valley, named Sweethome.
He said that after seeing what Oregon offered, he couldn't go back, and he never did.
That's my choice.
Maybe that is what has Lanning sitting here, today.
It's not for everyone, but maybe his hot list has somebody special on it!

Willie Taggart is available... sorry, I couldn't resist! Ha!
I'd suggest you "Do Something" with that idea, but the board rules would likely clip my wings, and I sorta like it here!

Ever notice how many of the young men ending up at Oregon have seemingly outstanding support from their PARENTS?
Let's go, DUCKS!

The Rodney Dangerfield of the PAC...

CDL has commented in the past that he had built a contact list of potential assistants well before being offered the Oregon position. (No, I don't have a link, although some consider me a "Missing Link")
Given that, I would suspect that Lanning probably has been in contact with a few possibilities already.

That would depend heavily on what DL thinks of Joey's virtually complete lack of meaningful experience as a coach... No shade.
I love Joey, but we need someone who understands how to form and strengthen young players, in cooperation with the rest of the staff.

Why does this seem like a MC coached game at this point?
-
I used extra spice in the Ham n Bean soup I prepared for game day, but Gilmore was definitely NOT on the guest list!
-
Nix's limp is becoming more noticeable as the game progresses.
-
Anyone up for a long Oregon TD drive at this point?
Again with the "spicy" stuff.
How's that for spicy, Rod?

Rumors of the beavz demise may be a mite previous... But Ducks are not toast by any means.

I will yrade you your beaver brother for my fusky brother
I'll trump that with my Beavitch ex-son in law, not only as an alum, but he's an accountant for them as well.
My grandson refused to go to this un-civil rivalry because he wouldn't get to make noise for his favorite team.

Bo looks hot!

Manning seems to be having some decent moments.

The penalty really hurt.

No fair... Beavers used Bo's play!

Finish this goal line stand, and I'll breathe easier for now.

What a great way to re-enter the line-up!
That may have been the catch of Cota's career!

An Unpopular Opinion
in Our Beloved Ducks
Posted
Given the lack of readiness shown at the backup QB position, I am indeed disappointed the Ducks failed to step up when Bo went down.
I am not remotely close to turning my back on this team.
Bo getting injured was devastating in the short term (As well as the short game
).
The play calling looked distracted (disconnected?), late in the season... That hurt, especially once Bo went down.
I believe DL and associates will take this as a growth/wake up mometn and be better prepared in the future.
Yes, the D needs to improve. The offense is a work in progress, pending the arrival of a new OC.
I've seen enough potential that I'm ready to get on board for the next run.
Are you?
