This is an interesting question posed to him... Q: Am always curious your thoughts. If you were a betting man would you put the over or under on Dan Lanning matching Mario Cristobal’s tenure at Oregon? If you were the sports book in Las Vegas where would you set the over/under line? — @ShelbySRice A: Cristobal took over as Oregon’s head coach for the Las Vegas Bowl at the end of the 2017 season. He was really only in Eugene for four seasons (48 games as the head coach). Lanning’s three sons have moved around a ton in their early years. Also, Lanning’s alma mater (William Jewell College) is not a threat to poach him unlike Cristobal (Miami). I raised this longevity question a couple of months ago with someone in Lanning’s inner circle, who told me, “I’d bet he fulfills his five-year contract and then some — if they’ll have him.” For that reason, let’s set the over/under at five full seasons. And I’ll take the “over.” Canzano: Mailbag deals with big games, Amazon, and Pac-12 ploys WWW.JOHNCANZANO.COM Your questions... my answers. Wow!

Sept. 24 For People With Short Attention Spans
Charles Fischer replied to Duckpop22's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
The short attention span is very real; it is something we deal with on the forum and how we structure our FD articles. It is only eight seconds for the typical web reader, and the average attention span for a Goldfish is nine seconds! -

Pac 12 (While it Lasts) Basketball Ratings
Charles Fischer replied to Steven A's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
The Beavers have the worst roster going into the next season? Yikes! I hate articles that force you to go to 12 pages to see who is number one as opposed to actually writing a full article. As a website publisher, I can say that sucks, and it’s bogus. -
Oregon vs WSU: How Oregon’s DBs Will Win the Day
Charles Fischer replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
This is an outstanding analysis article Alex, and you have touched on what few have considered, and that is how the defensive backs could make or break us in this game. I also love the observations about the tight ends in the red zone, and a defensive focus upon them could certainly open up other receivers. The growth of this team since what we saw at Georgia is the biggest jump I think I’ve ever seen an Oregon team do in two weeks, ever. I am excited about the upside of this team, and this coaching staff! -
Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction versus Washington State? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Lets get these predictions started and remember I look for the spread with then the closest score that has the spread correct. I need all the data from you! Entries without all the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count as I am not going to hunt them all down. I am no longer going to PM three or four people who don't read directions each week. Please follow directions, as I need all that is below for tiebreakers: --the winner --the score --the amount of turnovers Oregon creates --the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team --the number of passing yards by the Ducks. My prediction is: Oregon 37-24, 3, 4, 313

Too bad he isn’t an offensive line transfer, as we did OK with Warmack from Alabama before.

You might be right about this one...

Described perfectly to a "T." Most Oregon fans were still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt going into his fourth season. I know this because I had over 180 posts that insulted me on other sites because they did not like this article in July going into the 2021 season. I knew it was a matter of time before everyone felt the same way I did, but I did not anticipate the booing at a game.

No. 5 Recruiting Class for Diamond Ducks - I'm Juiced!
Charles Fischer replied to ICamel's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Ha! I was just about to post the No. 5 recruiting class article! "Oregon's class, which is the top-ranked class in the Pac-12 and the only one from the conference in the top 15 . The No. 5 ranking matches the highest-ranked class in school history, joining the 2010 class." We did pretty well later with the 2010 class as I recall... -
Media Rights: 'Uncomfortable Truths About the Pac-12'
Charles Fischer replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
If George wants to retain Oregon and Washington...he has to get great revenue going, period. To me, the Streaming package could make-or-break the future of the conference in both how much money is paid to the conference, and to the amount of content. Having sports other than football and basketball (non-revenue) on streaming only? Isn't that a way to kill those sports for viewership? They already get very few eyeballs, and now people have to pay for streaming to see a Track meet? Football needs to be on streaming as well, IMHO. -
No. 5 Recruiting Class for Diamond Ducks - I'm Juiced!
Charles Fischer replied to ICamel's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
For Oregon Baseball Fans... Oregon recruited the No. 1 and No. 2 pitchers on Team Canada, and the No. 1 guy can throw up to 97 mph. There is some hitter at 6'5" who apparently was hitting fastballs over the Scoreboard? Whew! When asked about the 20 new players between freshmen and transfers, Coach Waz appeared to be in a catbird seat as he said "It is fun to watch!" That sounds like a coach who is pretty pleased with the talent he has recruited. Fun to watch for! One of Oregon's best all-time players, Tanner Smith, has decided to return! -
The Oregon-Dillingham Offense: The New Arc Zone Read
Charles Fischer replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
In the screenshot below, you can see that at the instant of decision in the mesh, (light blue circle) the "read-key" defender is sitting, (red arrow) and thus the correct call is to hand off, as Coach Boles referred to. Perhaps if it is second and two--you could pull and see what happens. The TD in the picture in my post above--I thought Nix got a "give" read, but pulled it anyway. Interesting stuff! -
The Oregon-Dillingham Offense: The New Arc Zone Read
Charles Fischer replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Yep. I got a lot of that when I made my videos of the Chip Kelly offense, in fact I heard about it nearly every day for a year when I put them out. Those questioning my loyalty for "giving away Oregon's secrets" really tested my tolerance for my fellow fans. The way I answered is true now as it was then, and it takes all of 15 seconds of thought.... "Let's get this right; the opposing coaches all have film of Oregon's games and they know what we are doing. All the FishDuck videos come from public sources that everybody has access to...and obviously our own coaches know what they are doing. So the only people who don't know what's going on are the people actually paying the freight for the players and the coaches...the fans?" We try to change that at FishDuck for the fans, since all the coaches know what is going on. (Trust me, we will not be teaching college coaches anything!)

The Oregon-Dillingham Offense: The New Arc Zone Read
Charles Fischer replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Coach Boles...this will be great fun to watch for, because when the QB pulls the ball--he will have a better chance of making yardage on the perimeter, the backside of the defense. Perfect for Bo Nix! Thanks Coach. -
There is new information about the media rights negotiations, factors that Oregon fans will want to know, and Canzano has done an excellent job bringing them to us.
