The "hits" keep on coming. Oregon Ducks safety Bennett Williams returning for 2022 season, per source - oregonlive.com

Switch to Chargers, go Justin

Altman 2.0?

Awesome/welcome coach. Now roll up the sleeves, keep as much of the recruiting class intact as possible, bring some Georgia Def studs with you and hit some assistant home run hires.

I think uw's hire was way below Laning, especially recruiting wise; UCLA, mixed emotions from them, a large number wanted Kelly off their hands; OSU, 'nough said about little bro; usc only one with more name recognition, but that would be true of anyone we hire.

In general ..... Mullens is keeping it close to the vest, so a lot of smoke. Lanning's name leaked by non UO sources. Could be other candidates that the names haven't broken yet. Lanning's brother live on twitter last night. No offer yet. Current Ducks and some parents took part. No bad mouthing of Cristobal from them, they understood going home which is a great take since these are kids away from home and parents. Chip re-upping ?? Wilcox mentioned.

I agree, the man definitely needs a day-job.

100% correct (of course, not sure how you can be less than 100% when you are correct)

Matt Phrem at 24/7 is reporting he thinks "the brass": 1) knows what it is doing; 2) things are progressing "normally"; 3) knows there is a sense of urgency; 4) and that the decision will probably come in the next 24 to 48 hours. He also acknowledges the restlessness of the fan base.

I'd bet my ex-wife's half of our ex-house on OU. (Well, if I had an ex-wife and the current one doesn't read my posts, so I don't think I'll be shopping for a new one after 43 years) That team wants to show Lincoln he made a bad choice leaving. The Ducks, I don't think they have the same moxie.

Latest from John. As you can see from the end of the article, his twitter will be updated. Canzano: What I know about the Oregon Ducks coaching search coming clear - oregonlive.com

It is welcome to the real world Mr. Transferee. Enter the portal and you are now an “at will” student/athlete/employee. It reminds me of a line in Ghostbusters when the gang gets kicked out of the college and Bill Murray says something to the effect of going out in the real world or private sector “where they expect results.”

But zero recruiting

Two constants in life .... 1)Dyer was down (hey refs, not his leg but the elbow) 2) Kenny Wheaton is going to score

Yes, MC didn't create the program, he just left it as good as he found it, if not better.

I think that is the current system.

Welcome and sure hope you like cat gifs.

And know the snap count.

The coaches get their millions for coaching. If they get fired "for cause" then end of story. If they get fired for bad performance, then they are owed the balance of their contract mitigated by being re-employed.

Structure the buy-out as follows: If you leave before the end of your contract, your buy-out is the amount we have paid you on your contract, plus the amount we have paid the assistants that leave the program. So, if the coach gets 7 Mil per year and the assistants 3.0 Mil, then the buy-out is 10 Mil for every year of the contract the coach fulfilled. It won’t stop poaching, but it will make it hurt the suitor and benefit the jilted lover.

Wow, according to Brett McMurphy's twitter account, he was offered $125 Mil for 8 Mil. College football world reacts to Jimbo Fisher report (msn.com)

I was never s big fan of his, but the way he handled his firing at UCLA was pure class.

I thought that was Jim Morrison and Utah

I think he was always going to be a Duck until the U came calling. Had Diaz beat FSU in their last game, they might not have been looking as that would have been 6 in a row. FSU giveth (took Willie) and taketh (Mario).
