Lanning is a new HC so no matter what I don't think anyone and especially sports media writers. Honestly what do they know anyways. Riley number 1 who never ever even competed in the Natty as his teams seemed to always get spanked. Cristabol who's lines he said would dominate. Did he watch Mario's bread and butter and his awful coaching when games were important. I give Lanning a A and who went with Mario on his coaching staff? Pretty much Minnie Me which who cares the guy wouldn't be hired by anyone. I'm pretty sure most his coach's didn't like him. Tosh chose Lanning over Mario and that's an A+ in my book. Honestly don't let these guy's make your day because they wont. Oregon is back to getting no respect and rightfully so because the ending of this season was horrible. The Alamo bowl shouldn't have concerned Oregon and it was a waste of money to take it. McClendon said they would compete and in all honesty being down at halftime 30 -3 is not competing. Whatever they did in the second half as who cares they got smoked. 57 players was not enough. Remember CBS which Dodd works for is all SEC based so your never gonna get anybody saying much good about Oregon. To me Lanning is a home run hire and if Georgia beats BAMA and I'm sure the majority of the country would also like to see that is only going to benefit Oregon in the long run. Go Ducks, Just Do It!

With Mario it wasn't going to happen and don't think for a minute that this class would have been top 5 o top 9. His class was trending towards around 10 which isn't terrible but if you can't coach a QB up then what's the sense. There is a lot of great recruiters that you do need to get top 10 classes continuously. I would have to believe that Lanning knows how to coach up a defense and it's players. All these guys are teachers and we did have a lot of injuries. So this needs to be fixed and I'm thinking to much weight training from last S@C Coach. Flowe's been hurt 2 years running and that just doesn't bode well and honestly I really don't want that guy's season ruined again. So if I'm Lanning I'm waiting for Justin to be 100% because the guy is a one man wrecking crew.

Thanks Jon and I never believed the SEC was getting away with anything and I new they were cheating a long time ago. When Cam's father was asking for the highest bidder I mean OH my gosh as in why would he do such a thing if there never was indiscrepancy going on. Yes Sir I've already believed if Oregon wants to compete then Phil needs to pay for that Championship and this is waht it has come down to. You want to take down BAMA then pay more than them in everything otherwise this is a waste of time.

Yes it's about time. The time is evolving for Oregon and I think they have the general idea of what this is gonna take now to reach the level as a Championship organization. The evolution it seemed to me was taking to long! Well I can say now I fill like we went out and got way better than Mario was going to give us. Go Ducks. Just Do It!

He looks like he could play BB also as he's talented just not enough to sit while coach's don't coach you up to your potential and that's all any player can ask and that's why I came here to get better and play football. Maybe the NFL next but we will never see this CF game back in the day. To bad and Oregon from Mullins and Knight along with Lanning and his staff need to get that next level and stop hovering. Now my new slogan will be Get it done! 3 of those losses came at the end of the season when your supposed to be playing your best. Mario a true head scratcher.

Yes Sir!

That's what they say. My belief is if no one was able to watch the practices then how do we really know. I anybody thinks I'm going to believe anything Mario said think again because the guy couldn't hold true to anything he said. Remember were gonna punch them in the mouth. Well I do and it was embarrassing to say the least with Utah that comes to mind. LOL he's gone thank God so now we can hopefully see a well ran throw down the field offense that wants to score. A defense that hasn't really lived up or coached up to it's proper ranking. Maybe this all changes in one year as in 2022. Think about it our roster right now is better than any in the PAC including SC. So if Lanning and his staff can come in and better the recruiting and coaching them up we could very well not see a drop off while SC builds whatever they are trying to build. We need as fans Oregon to go out and do this I and many others have waited a long time. Seen the rise and changes to this program and it was innovation and it has worked well enough but not good enough to get to the top. All about the MONEY now!

Good stuff Darren and I have to agree on most points. Oregon unfortunately like you said had a HC that really his main goal was his " BABY " the O Line and that's exactly how he played it. I mean lets be honest this could have been an elite offense if the right guy was behind center. Defense had way to many injuries to key players to be dominant. Yes Sc in the blueblood and to me the old blueblood and pretty much a few Championships and if Oregon could just win one I as well as a lot of my fellow Ducks could be very happy. I'm talking just 1.

I just hope Oregon gets to the promised land soon because I cannot agree at all 100 % the way the greed has now filtered to a game I really loved to watch. After what happened with our season it was a huge way to get gut punched. Either way I can't even nor ever side with these players that are now it's all about the money. This is not close to the game it used to be and now bingo we got greedy rich people wanting to take every good thing out of this once a league of fun has turned to players thinking everybody owes them. The money changing hands is huge and they are turning it into a SEMI PRO league. Oregon please pay the bills it will take to lets all be honest, beat the SEC. It needs to happen soon or will it ever? Just lets be honest this brand they are creating is disrespecting the game. The game we love yet the sacrifices sometimes the emotional side can be kind of rough and man don't know about the rest of you but this year was a hard season to stomach more than others. Got to hope Oregon will just slap that permanent smile on your faces. Go Ducks better days ahead! Its just me and I will never respect a player who wont play or opt's out as that's not what these young men should be able to do. Its like this they signed a letter for a " FREE RIDE " 4 years or whatever it takes for them to Graduate because there's only a select few that go on to the next level. I'm being facetious it isn't free and I would imagine would put any kid wanting a degree around 100 Grand for that. I could go on about just that right there. So play the game regardless. So I'm sure this is just gonna get way out of hand and it will come back and eventually bite them.

I just wiped a tear off my eye. Go Ducks! Yes I believe MLK said once a time ago but it still ring's true today I believe I've heard already some of the high ranking D line kids are interested in Oregon and why not. If you can pay them now why not more than everybody else? We have seen Oregon evolve and it might just take a little different approach this time but who cares as long as the intentions are National Championship. I've already said on here that A@M was paying their O Lineman 50 grand each. That's incentive!

I concur with ya my fellow green and yellow Duck Dog! We need some speed also from our RB position. I miss those days of blasting opponents by 4 scores. I miss the Barner, James, Tyler show. I do believe that there is some pretty great back 7 players and deep at both positions and the D line returners will still be pretty good inside and outside defenders. I am quite sure whatever we will see come Spring it will be better looking than that crapola we were fed for Mario's tenure. the line coaches We dodged a couple bullets from Mario. We cant complain to much because I think we all believe were getting a lot better with the new than what just left. He did leave the roster in decent order and that's all he did while here, he never wowed us with high scoring offenses and come to have watched line coaches over OCs and DCs the line coaches don't seem to get it over the other's. I can understand maybe playing that ball control crap we were fed for 4 seasons for maybe the last 2 minutes of the game then ok, just not for 4 QTRs.

Ben Roberts film says we are getting a guy who should be able to get into next years rotation and he has all the tools to be great not good but great. As we've all seen we still seem to be having a hard time recruiting even 4 star DL here. That's the one position that Oregon is the worst at. Now LB and DB is a whole different animal and I think we have as good back there as anyone not named Bama or Georgia. I counted quite a few 4 star DL just in the state of Texas and we didn't sign one. Could this change, well Tosh Lupoi is finally coming to Eugene and that's clearly why. The guy has recruited 4 and 5 star DL guys wherever he's been and other positions as well. So I expect on February 5th we will get at least 2 Four star DT's on this squad. Also these former Husky DL obviously see the what's going on down south of them and it's been eye opening for quite some time now. Yes they are sniffing out Buttocks odor clear up there and they not be liking it one bit. HAHAHA LOL you royal BUTTSNIFFERONNIES.

Love it Fish and man they be a " HATING ' that legendary Green and Yellow and Puddles to boot. I will have to agree with one thing only to what that one poster said. If your an ex Duck player that's just one place you never ever put in a resume to coach any position coach on that team. That's why I clearly have a bad taste in my mouth about Wilcox and he crossed the line in going there period. The Washington Husky's have clearly shown their disdain for Oregon from way back in the day. I'm talking over 70 years of their ridiculous hate. Anyways what I'm trying to say about the people up north is this quit acting like children your supposed be adults. It is pretty funny though how far they have fallen. The HC that just took that job has got a huge task he might not even be able to fix. We should be grateful for Oregon and what they are trying to get done even though I think it's gonna take a bit more to get the one goal that has just passed us by like 4 close times. It just takes once so everything needs to line up correctly so hopefully Ty is ready to take the QB position and not look back. If it's Bo Nix then so be it and I know Oregon fans want points back like at least a 40 point a game avg and a DC that knows how to slow down offenses and great at game planning against the best. Recruiting or final recruiting will be here in just a tad over a month so that first and second SPRING PRACTICE then team workouts and positioning for summer and hopefully an LSU type of season a couple years back when they whipped everybody including BAMA to win it all. We wont have to talk about the Purple ugly's up north again except for laughing at their losses.

You could say A@M is as loaded as both BAMA and Georgia. What's going on at A@M to not be getting results with the product? You can also say the same things at Oregon though they may not be full of 4 and 5 stars and may never be but the results were a huge let down with the talent that far out weighed Utah's by a mile. Prime example is SC every year like clock work all those sports media people that really had or have no clue about the sport most the time and just because they like sports and went to four years of journalism does not make a knowledgeable football analyst. They picked SC because they were always so loaded yet the product on the field failed. Why? Many reasons you could say. Far from it and that's what were mostly bomb barded with now is all these ideas just like a guy who was supposed to be a football intelligent at the NFL level when he said anybody basically who takes Hebert should or would be fired. I mean that in itself was a bold statement. So what would make this guy say such an absurd thing? Well I guess most of could be to Mario not remotely knowing what he had and Arroyo along with Mario coast him that first pick in the draft. Hey I whole heartedly believe this is the case because he clearly only knows OL. Then you could also make a case that maybe he's not the best OL Coach out there because if you watch the Stanford and Utah games his O Line got punched in the mouth and one of his boring favorite lines he seemed to love. It got real old. Back to the A@M and I've heard and I don't know if this is true but someone said they pay all their O Lineman 50 grand. Well if it's allowed and I was Phil Knight I'd pay all my O Lineman 75 grand and he can afford that chump change all day long. Remember he's a Billionaire quite a few times over. I've said it and this is the truth Oregon is a Business their football program and Phil is the business partner with the backing to make this all work and whether he does this or not we will see soon enough. I'm thinking and this is just my opinion he's not in enough to make this all go towards what we've missed I'd say about at least 4 times and that's a NATTY. Nothing more nothing less. Its that proverbial saying S--- or get off the pot! He has no desire to buy the Blazers so the Ducks are obviously his baby and he needs to make baby feel a whole lot better. Honestly I wish Shough would have stayed and played instead of Brown, but I did expect way more than what happened at the end. The thing is your team should be playing their best at season's end not losing 3 out of 4 to end what should have been a whole lot different. So this was clearly on Mario's inability to stay out of his own head and let the coach's you hired do their jobs and be willing to cut tie's with the one's who don't and this shouldn't be to hard because the one's that win all the time are the same coach's that don't have Mario issue's.

I mean in reality H this should be a great job for anyone. You don't have to look very far from the recourses now at Oregon as in ridiculous so why leave is my point. The only thing I would love to see is a more seating capacity or build up Autzan to accommodate up to 70 thousand. Or build a brand new state of the art stadium with maybe the prospects of sharing it with a NFL franchise some day. The state of Oregon refuses to come into the 20th century in just about everything and I hate it. Phil has the money to build it many times over so I wish he would. Just my thoughts.

Especially if Lannings D does it's job and Georgia wins the Title it will be talked about a long time. That will only win hearts and minds of some of these 4 and 5 star guys still on the board not sure quite just yet where they wanna be for the next 3 to 4 years. Let Phil open up his pocketbook and let the winds of war take place.

Yes and there still are a lot of fish to fry in the pan so I will believe Lanning and this staff will bring a respectable end to this game called recruiting. I still think he can get this to around 15 to 9th in the end.

It was once considered the Conference of Champions only to have Harvard Larry mess it up so bad that this is what we are seeing now. The new commissioner has his hands full and it might be way too late. I was calling for that guys head like 3 years after he took the job. The guy I find funny that he was hired and no football back ground. He showed it in every stupid move he did. I want to watch football preferably at around 1 PM not 7 at night. The new guy looked like he changed a little of that right off the bat. Doesn't matter time zone your in as 1 PM works.

They are melting over there. One thing I just don't understand like on 247s site the posters on there are so enamored always with what goes on the Husky site. Its hilarious how worried all these people are about the Mutts. All's I know is that these two programs couldn't be farther apart. That's all I need to know and I feel like they deserve everything they get and they won't be relevant for a while again. I do love the turmoil on their site and it's always worth a good laugh and I myself just can't get myself to even want to think Husky and that "UGLY " Purple.

Hey we need a greta coah Nana!

Great stuff Heyward and yes this roster is built for a run into the Playoff's and it's still the QB position we really have no clue about and that hopefully will work itself out. Remember Nix and Lanning know Georgia so like the OS game if you want any upset of a team of the Bulldogs capabilities then the first game should be your gunning point to victory. Oregon is loaded and I like our chances and hopefully we can just keep it in house and not betaking games like this. Its like scheduling BAMA your first game, not wise. Heck we couldn't even beat Utah twice. 10 win season shouldn't be a problem but can Duck fans be happy with say only 10 wins because that just isn't going to get your team in and it's his job now to do this and the Man needs to come out of the shute red hot and Rollin. OH we used to have a Blazer rant like that in the good ol days. Honestly HD we are really loaded so I say I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we win back the PAC 12 and get back into the playoff's. Now does anyone know how many teams the playoff's will have?

YES can I get a Duck and raise you 10 5th star Ducks! I am stoked and I kid you not to see Mr Flowe stay and this is to me huge. The guy has Ray Lewis qualities and no disrespect against Noah Justin is just a different animal. I've seen the film of the guy and it just wreaks of assassin and with him and Sewell and all these other studs and I mean I've seen the LB roster for lets just say quite a few years now and they have a lot of talent there as well as at Defensive Back never before seen here in Eugene. I just pray to GOD that he can play for everybody to see.

Agree and I can only hope that if they are really paying players and they are is that Phil Knight opens up his " STUFFED " bank account and he should if he really wants to see this happen before you know what happens as we don't and cannot live forever in this system. Phil I would think doesn't have very long to go to see Oregon win it all. Go Ducks.

Yes indeed lets support coach Lanning and more so against BAMA. Georgia needs to win this game in a huge way and by that I don't mean score and of coarse it would be awesome if they beat them by 20 but even if it's 3 points Its a win in my book. No more Alabama championships please. Time for Kirby to out coach his predecessor and take it away from BAMA. Go coach Lanning and hopefully your D shuts them down this time. When is the game?

Had to laugh when they talked about kids that went to Puyallup went to Washington for Championship's! You notice it was plural as in like in their clouded minds they were in many. LOL and the one they did allegedly win and I think they shared it with BYU it had a whole lot of cheating allegations to go with it. So if you cheat like they did and SC their last ALLEGED Championship you know the one where Bush was given over six figures and you know he wasn't the only one. Tamani looks the part so hopefully Lanning and Tosh can make him a whole lot better.
