MM is getting a lot of interest these days. It will be up to the Raiders on his future but I would suspect he will get the opportunity to once again shine.

With the nations outlook on the Pac-12 and the other conferences feelings about the Pac-12 being so irrelevant, do you really think anyone in the Pac-12 can overcome that ??

This highlights him as a real level headed friend and smart coach. Good attributes.

Now that is interesting.

Mariota still has "game" in him. That is what makes the difference.

Don Johnson Jr. has been promoted from Director of High School Relations to Director of Player Personnel. Keeping Johnson on staff is critical for his work on the recruiting of new players. The Ducks have signed the Pac-12's top recruiting classes in 2019, 2020, 2021 and Nationally the No. 6 class for 2021. As you know "College football is all about recruiting". Johnson takes over his new duties from Thomas Arends who has been at Oregon for the last 11 years.

Yes, I've been dancing in the street since hearing about it. The news has a lot of ramifications to it. One is that the leading Pac-12 schools will no longer think about jumping ship to another conference. Two, we know which school presidents are not concerned about improving the Pac-12 and must be removed. Three, the players that created the "protest" within the Pac-12 last season will probably get their issues addressed, defused and go away. Four, the schools should start getting a little more money, which I'm sure they will be happy about, after all a few million dollars split 12 ways is still a lot of money. Five, I can now stop complaining about Larry Scott and concentrate on more important things.

Good information coach. Thanks for bringing it to us. One question I have is when you say that Kayvon Thibodeaux will be one of the stand up edge rushers. Kayvon is not known as a pass defender so wouldn't that be a big tip off to the offense that he is a rusher and not going into pass defense, thus removing any "guessing" done by the offense ?? I wouldn't expect to see Kayvon do any pass defense as it's "just not his thing".

Numbers don't lie.

A close one.

Yep, a tough night for the short handed Ducks. Now they got to heal fast for the three game trip in Los Angeles.

I just hope it doesn't take a year to get the defense "in tune" with a new approach.

Well said, I totally agree.

A prediction that's a little optimistic IMO.

We need an anchor.

This happens when you have a lot of talented people in the line. He'll find a good home and be on the field. IMO we still need to find that magic RB that will be the franchise guy.

Make my day Jaylon Redd, (again).

There goes "Rookie of the Year".

Don't feel sorry for Larry Scott. The Mercury News reports that "Scott will stay on through June and get paid through the summer of 2022" What a waste of money. Why would they agree to that ??

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

John was given a lot of "talk" in that interview and I hope it's not "just talk". We will have to see so lets have this same discussion in 12 months.

Wow, big jump between Oregon at #4 and Ohio State at #3. *Oregon visits Ohio State on 9/11/2021. Do you think it might be canceled because it's no longer a "Home and Home" ??
