LaMike and he have talked.  LaMike put Coach Locklyn in touch with the best RB coach ever, Gary Campbell.  My guess is that The Michael or Campbell gave that list to Coach Locklyn. 
 

Thank you for clearing that up. Seemed odd he was not listed. Now it makes some since.

[This is Great to See]

The Greatest is missing from the list! Where is LaMike at?

[Thoughts on Nickname for Coach Lanning..."Danimal?"]

I'm sure Robert Griffin III can make lots of things rhyme with Dan. We should ask him for help. He loves one syllable words.

I'm watching the wrong games. The Pac12 is not making a good showing.

Were you REALLY expecting they would? The Pac is weak!

[Running Back Room Filled: Credit Mastro?]

I feel Mastro like most of the exiting staff recruited great and yes we have some talent on campus.

But, like most all position groups, that talent has not progressed since making it to campus.

 

I hope with this hire we have real coaches who can recruit. Not recruiters who try and coach.

[Never Say Dye]

I have to say I'm shocked that he is on that list. 

He has completely snuck under the radar to great heights.

Congrats young man.

[After the Game, Sooner Fans are Duck Fans]

To me what Lincoln Riley did to OU feels much more like a Willie Taggart move than what Mario did to UO.

 

I've already forgiven Mario. Willie..... not so much.

 

Please do not get me wrong. I'm happy both left. But, I hope Mario and his family enjoy life back in Miami.

I'm hoping Willie ends up the Special Teams Coordinator at Everglades Community College. Go Pelicans!

 

So, yes. May the Ducks help OU out by taking care of USC for the next few decades.

[New Oregon S&C Coach Coming from Ole Miss?]

But can he grow a 'stache?

[Apologies]

MaiTaiDuck,

Thank you for the apology.

I started to read the post/rant that I believe you feel the need to apologize for. I recognized it for what it was immediately. Complete frustration. 

 

I felt no need to read it, as there is already far to much negativity in this world in which we live. I come to this forum to escape the stresses of daily life, not to add to them.

Thank you for the apology and thank you moderators for maintaining this refuge.

Go Ducks!

["One" Immediate Change You'd Like to See in 2022?]

At least one deep ball per game... Maybe four.

[BREAKING - per Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia DC Dan Lanning to Leave and Become Next Oregon Head Coach]

Maybe as DC for the incoming offensive minded HC?

[Why Not Go For Dabo?]

I think we would have a better shot at Riley to Oregon. Ha!

[Charles....you are a WIMP, a Namby-Pamby...(Better Read THIS!)]

I think it goes without saying that we all appreciate the effort you, and your moderators, put in.

This is the ONLY site I comment on... and it is because of that effort.

Thank you.

[Kiffin Could be the Man]

I'm fine with it. As long as we (Duck Nation) go into with the realization that it is a 3-4 year gig.

 

Oregon would be a stepping stone for Lane.

 

It was not intended to be so for Mario.

[What about Neon Deion?]

No!... Just no.

[USC is Getting Uncomfortable]

I say fly to SoCal and hire Riley before he builds any momentum at USC.

For him it is obviously about the money. He has no real ties to USC.

Two birds... one large check.

Yes. Keep in mind that LA is one of the most expensive and glitzy-est places to live in the ENTIRE world, while on the other hand the homeless multitudes there literally live under EVERY overpass in the city. 

 

This reality should repel many recruits.

Are there any clean underpasses in Eugene? When I moved out of there a couple years ago there were not. But, yes, still cleaner than LA.

["Athletic Department Would be Stunned if Cristobal Left"]

That is great news!

I was not to worried since Moorhead is shopping his services around. I do not feel he would be if he felt there was a chance of Mario leaving.

Now, who can we get as OC??? Helfrich?

 

[Be Honest....Was that Offense on Saturday ENTERTAINING to YOU?]

The first half was very entertaining.

I just wish for once the Ducks would keep the pedal down the whole game.

I may, or may not have, fallen asleep a few times during the second half.

[Why did Mycah Pittman Leave Now?]

Mycah comes from a family of receivers.

His father and brother have both shown similar selfish traits over the years.

Since it was his family who first posted frustration with his usage.... I'd say Mycah was likely talked into believing he was disrespected.

Mario did the right thing. Flush the family, focus on this years team. Next years team will have its own issues. But, the Pittman's attitude will not be one of them.

 

[Mel Tucker's new 10ys 95Mil deal]

I'm at least 10% as good as he is... I'll do it for 9.5 million over 10 years!

[Describe your Husky sentiment in one word.]

Abhorrence.

[Saturday's uniforms]

This scheme looks great on the casual apparel. But, did not translate well to the uniforms.

At least the cameras are far from the field in Pasadena. Go Ducks!

[Do you "HATE" Stanford?]

Hate? No.

Respect yes! How can you not respect teams that play up to their competition. I applaud David Shaw for always having his team ready.

[Mario Cristobal Can’t Turn Talent Into Production]

Great article. But, not exactly how I see it.

 

I love Mario. But, feel is to close to some of his players and coaches. He needs to be able to make changes without worrying about hurting their feelings. I understand he feels an obligation to AB. But, he needs to move on from him. I also feel he needs to move on from Mastro and Mirabal as well. Yes, these will be tough conversations for him. But, he needs to do it.

 

The young talent is in Eugene. Put some good position coaches in place and let them play! Mario just needs to put the fun back in winning!
