The key question is will MarinO ever relinquish the duties to coaches that are way more qualified than he is? Answer is probably not. Would MarinoO ever become a head coach if the players hadn’t stood behind him when Slick left. I seriously doubt it. I think Ward is the best talent at QB mc will ever have since Justin and if he fails with with this guy he will be an offensive line coach full of bull crap like he always has been. Just an uneducated opinion from a fan that has had tooo many IPA’s this afternoon. For some reason these things make you way smarter.

Cracks me up when I go fishing at the coast the locals call us flatlanders. Ever see anything flatter than the beaches in Oregon? I think not.

He closes on the ball very quickly. He also looks like the type of guy that can rush the passer from anywhere. Good speed. This is DLs kind of guy.

Bama has wined before. Nick wanted the substitution rules to change when Chip was running his up-tempo offense with Dennis Dixon and the Ducks running all over the teams they were playin. Ask Michigan how much they liked it. lol Nick knew his big uglies couldn’t keep the pace against our quicker lineman also knowing they would run out of gas and would need oxygen to keep up. No way did he want to face that offense in the Championship game. Nick would have made sure there was a tv timeout every other play. Sadly Dennis blew up his knee and Nick had no more to say.

Clackamas River Drive. Iced road last few days so it’s been very quiet. Sun never hits the road this time of year, too many trees. Furnace hasn’t stopped running for days backed up by a wood stove to keep the pipes from freezing. Ice tomorrow which usually means cutting our way to town if we need to go. All in all pretty normal at least once a year. If your brave enough steelhead are in the river.

The coaching carousel is very interesting but how many of these old players will exhaust their eligibility. Some of the schools should or could have run thru the COVID players depending on red shirts. This could have a bearing on weather coaches might leave their present situation or stay and deal with the present day of free agency in college football. Money however can be a big motivator for some. I’m sure JH has all the money he needs but dealing with college football as a head coach might be the determining factor. I believe this might be the reason Nick doesn’t want to work that hard any more. These are crazy days for sure.

It’s these guys job to cause a stir or they won’t have a job.

He was the best at coming in the back door to catch his prey. Never missed an episode. Thanks Hay for that moment back in time.

MarinoO the quarter back guru. Kid obviously is not paying attention.

The Ducks, DL, this year got a lot out of very good players, doing more with more. On the other hand ask Riley, Jimbo, MarinoO, and a few others how easy that is, they did less with more. Looks to me we might end up with as good or better roster than 2023 and Dan is not done yet.

Talk about a guy with lesser resume. Sounds a little hypocritical.

One thing that struck me in the face is that the rest of the nation realizes that the Ducks are not to be taken lightly any more, that Alabama may not be that guy anymore, and the Tide may not get as many of the best players any more. Oh my Good Gosh did a coach from Oregon just turn down the bama job, the Nerv. Been a great year so far and seems like there is more great news every day. Gotta love it all.

It may actually hurt this team by slowing it down. That being said it can’t hurt the rebounding which could lead to more fast break points and less put backs by apposing bigs.

James is more than capable of being that guy. He averages over 7 yards per run and almost 9 yards per catch out of the backfield. Some of the best numbers in the nation, better than Buckys. If Wittington is healthy, also over 7 yards per carry, then we will be fine. I’m sure DL will pick up another RB but James and Witt have some of the best stats in the nation.

This makes me so sad, NOT

Alabama recruits just fine. I would be surprised if they don’t hire within the SEC.

All this attention is only adding to the fact that this guy is more popular than we think. Some of my beaver fans are evenimpressed with him. Like or not we all know that other programs will keep coming after Dan in an aggressive fashion. The more popular he becomes the more they will come. I had no clue DL was going to be on the tube at the natty yesterday. My wife said isn’t that your coach? I had to stop and stare in disbelief at what was happening. This thing in Eugene is bigger than I thought. Go Dan.

If Penix played that way against the Ducks the mutts don’t win. That being said they seemed to scratch out victory in a few games that Penix played poorly. Not this time. Looking forward to playing them next year without their miracle worker at the helm. And will Dboer be gone next season? Go s

The sky is definitely blue with DL. Players love him, fans love him, the opposition doesn’t love him, and most importantly he and his family love it in Eugene.

Nice to see the bigs get healthy but it could slow this team down.

I don’t see Nix missing all those wide open receivers.

Penix luck finally ran out.

Guess if you can’t cover Hold. Michigan defenders getting away with a lot of holding.

This game was over when Dboer deferred.

Penix looks like he’s never played football before.
