I am not a ND fan, but I am ok with the decision. We will see a lot of bowl games (well, I won't because I don't like the glare of empty seats staring at me from my TV) wherein the teams/players just don't care. The three main reasons are money, NIL money and ESPN/FOX/network money. There are way too many bowl games and the playoffs have rusted these other games. Most schools lose money having to purchase x number of tickets which they can't sell and going to El Paso in January to cheer on a barely .500 team just isn't a dream of min.

How about 30% not in the top 25! I remember the "experts" predicting which top ten team was most likely to be out of the top 25 by season's end, as it always happens to at least one team, and the Ducks led the charge.

I stopped watching and listening after No. 5 announced and our opponent. My wine tolerance is steroidal in nature compared to my lack of whine tolerance.

Like everything else, it depends on how much money they are given to do so!

Question marks for the hire. Effect on Dante, who replaces him at QB coach, new co-coordinators, what type of O will we have, and who calls plays in the playoffs? 5 major questions after Oregon Ducks' hiring of Drew Mehringer at OC

A lot of different choices here, what say you? Oregon Ducks regular-season awards before College Football Playoff run

And when is the BIG question. This year's class is a DISASTER of epic proportions and recovery may last longer than his buyout.

Jon, please don't bet the house, we have enough unhoused already.

Agreed. Duke, BYU and Georgia. Let the talking heads lose their dinosaur brains with "who did you beat" vs "yeah but who did you lose to" I'm looking at you Miami, 'Bama, ND and Texas.

Lanning breaks down the traits he is looking for "To me, it's about the ability to be humble, the ability to work with others and share a creative space, to realize it's not just yours, it's others ... " Lanning has been two-for-two in that process, and there's no reason he won't go three-for-three. Lanning breaks down traits for future offensive coordinator

He is in a tough spot. Hard to recruit at his old level in a secondhand conference. However, he should want to challenge his players to know what it will take to get to our level.

Two edge sword, more rust with the extra week off vs one less game with a chance to get key players hurt. Hey Darren "4) Speaking of that, who will be Oregon’s new permanent coordinators?" New "temporary" coordinators, we want ones that eventually be poached.

Stein has already started poaching . . . Duck assistants, director of recruiting Pat Biondo to be his GM. Kentucky HC Will Stein looking to hire Oregon executive for GM job

Worry? Nah

I could see this more from "Stein" recruits than Tosh's. Hopefully Dan and the remaining staff, culture, fit, facilities and the defending the Natty will sway them to stay committed.

I doubt it since that would set up a rematch in the semis. More likely No.s 1 & 3.

I think Dan can fill the interim DC job if needed!

He is keeping Stoops 4* QB recruit 4-star QB reaffirms commitment to Kentucky after Will Stein hiring Plus, Stoops restructured his 37 Mil buyout over several years vs 60 days. Not so sure it was an unselfish act when you consider the tax implications of such a huge income increase all at once.

This is probably a joint decision with in-Dan-we-trust having the last say.

What if Indy beats osu by 30, are the Ducks still the floor? Common opponent and the sameish record, 1 L

Good on him. Worked well for Rich Brooks. Wishing him the best wherever he lands.

I'm not giving them the W against Indy just yet.

I'll go with a bye into the quarters. One more week to get healthy, one less chance of a loss, less chance of injury (in theory!), rely upon last year's lessons in regard to a long layoff.
