An inexperienced coach urged to jump into the deep end... What could possibly go WRONG?

The 24/7 article was much better, and I learned a little. You can hear his enthusiasm for the program and the future through the text of the article! Great that he toured the Jacqua Center, and saw Hayward Field, as this is so important in recruiting. Something I forgot, is that often OCs and DCs are looking to get "ANY" head coaching job that comes along. Sure you could coach at Vanderbilt or WSU, but how hard is it going to be to recruit and build? Chances are you will be another picture on the wall of "former coaches." Meanwhile he comes to a team that had TEN WINS this last year, and THAT is a nice situation to walk into. (Especially considering all the upside on both offense and defense!) It is fun to be bubbly and optimistic again! Let's Go Get Those Dawgs!

Something he will have in common with Dan Lanning...a rare win over the Crimson Tide and Nick!

A redshirt freshman who did not see the field much, but was a top-100 player out of HS? Sounds like some real talent... Another Georgia Bulldog Defensive Back Enters Transfer Portal After Dan Lanning Departure by Zachary Neel of Ducks Wire

Yes, for Washington fans, the off-season is going to be "De-Bore!"

Book him Danno!

And it gives Lanning more time to work his magic?

I agree with both, as they shout big things for 2022...

Sure, and it is OK to have something "OT" or off-topic from Oregon Sports. Speaking of the off-season...I am finishing an article for tomorrow about the off-season for both Oregon fans and FishDuck...

Great article and great points; for all the competition we will have with USC....if both schools keep the West Coast talent home--Oregon and USC will prosper and the conference will benefit. Thanks Joshua!

WolfDuck....that is a GREAT post. Glad to have you posting often and your thoughts about the trenches in 2022 are right-on!

And the heck of it is....I thought they made a good return, did-in a bad guy and now a whole new bunch of plot directions with Harrison in it. I agree with Jon...can't really do this without Dexter.

So, the kid is messed up and now shooting his father isn't going to impact him any for the rest of his life? The whole ending revolved on the death the wrestling coach...once Harrison found out--Dexter did not say it was an accident, or not planned, or didn't want this to happen, but..."it had to be that way." ?? That doesn't sound like Dex, that sounds like writers finding a way to end this. I was disappointed with how lame that was, and how apparently they did not want to continue Dexter, when it would have done well. Thanks for posting Jon, as it bugged me!

This makes me wonder if he "knows" that Verdell or Dye or both are returning, and thus after seeing Cardwell run this last year--he knows he won't see the field much this next year?

If the total upside to Oregon is realized next year, then that could be an accurate ranking. I do like it...

Yes, I noticed and thought I was the only one--thanks for mentioning it. So many times the OC or DC are bigger than life, and there is reference often to them. Wouldn't you think that the DC of one of the best defenses ever in college football would be singled out? BTW...you did not miss anything in the article. He states the obvious that is in the title...

I really wanted this to go on much longer, with upcoming series against new villains. I was shocked and disappointed at the conclusion...and actually thought it was a little lame.

There was an article recently that stated that 80% of all NFL players are broke when they leave the league. The pension, (for those who qualify) is all they have. So we are giving large amounts of money to 18 year olds; what could possibly go wrong?

Saban had a massive rebuilding year, lost his top two receivers to injury and if you are going to lose a NC....losing to your protégé' is the best. Nick is happy for Kirby, and happy for the future of his team. He will get one more and be the all-time greatest...

No BYU?

Fun article, especially after what we saw a defense can do last night. A defense 70% as good would shut-down the Pac-12 in games, and give us more than enough slack to outscore the other team. While I think your 11-1 is plausible, it is still too early for me to give my prediction yet. But I am feeling a lot better about it than I did a few weeks ago!

And the TD was not on a long drive, but a gimme start on the 15 yard line... Amazing defense.

Boo-Hoo. Nobody felt the least bit sorry for us in 2014 when two of our top two receiving playmakers, (Allen and Carrington) were out, and the one NOBODY knows is how a RS Freshman LB had to fill in and was awful. He personally gave up two long "Ike" touchdowns.

Thanks for playing, and hopefully I can get some sponsors next football season to put up some prizes!

That's pretty harsh, IMHO. What was the money, all this "profit" from football used for? Funding 17 other sports at Oregon and giving athletes of both genders a chance at a college education. That is not quite as you suggested, but we can agree to see it differently. My point is--a ton of women would not have scholarships if all the football money went to football players. And we may see them in the courtroom against universities over enforcing Title IX before it is over. (The other sport is Mens Basketball that supports itself and makes a little)
