Unless it is Urban Meyer. If he was picked, I wouldn't support Duck football until he was gone. His baggage is land fill. Re Kiffen, I'd be Ok if he was nailed down for x number of years. This guy moves too much and may be eyeing a return to the pros.

That took a BIG hit with his "backdoor negotiating" with the U while it still had a coach. Plus, leveraging his on-the-table extension against both sides. Although that is the game all schools/agents/coaches are playing, doesn't mean just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean Cristobal had to.

Per Jon Wilner Representatives of Cristobal and Miami had been deeply engaged for weeks. Lesson, don't play poker with MC

Not a good look.

Hey, how about Eric Boles ?????

We you rather lose Mario now, or as soon as the U job opened? It is clear now that Mario would jump as soon as it opened. I prefer now instead of a year or so after he signed the 8Mil/yr 10 yr deal. If the nucleus of the team stays and doesn't transfer, a good HC and asst hires will have a lot to work with. If they can't make it good in the next year or two, then we just struck out.

To infinity and beyond ....

It's not football, but Isaac Johnson seems to be doing ok for Altman. Plus, some of these missions are directed for the student athletes to continue their training = two birds/one stone.

Who cares about billionaire's monopoly money that is being throw around/away?

New low the way Diaz was treated. Per Pete Thamel Yahoo Sports ; What Miami did to head coach Manny Diaz on Sunday is the type of egregious mismanagement that happens when grand ambitions turn blind. To leave your football coach dangling for an entire day while you wait to potentially fire him — or maybe not — is a terrible look. A lot of people around college athletics were laughing at Miami on Sunday while feeling awful for Diaz, who twisted in the wind in a cruel fashion. He ultimately was fired Monday morning during a meeting with Miami's president. Before that meeting, Diaz didn’t hear from any Miami officials all day regarding his job, according to sources. He got a commitment from a player on Saturday. On Sunday, he got marched out to the plank for the world to see. Diaz’s buyout has been reported in the $8 million range. No one is going to shed many tears for him, but the whole thing was generally uncomfortable. On a pure, cold-blooded business level, Miami’s brashness and callousness also showed that the new regime at Miami doesn’t care about feelings. Judge that how you may. Miami has come to a sudden realization about how far behind its program is and the new leaders aren’t going to care about bad optics and hurt feelings. full article: https://sports.yahoo.com/miami-shows-newfound-boldness-in-pursuing-oregons-mario-cristobal-but-its-treatment-of-current-coach-manny-diaz-is-cruel-040909763.html

Love it since healthy chattle is more valuable.

Great knowledge.

Realistically, unless Oregon was your dream school like most of us non "student-athletes" walk-on alums here, the recruits need to know who their coaches will be before signing their LOIs

Would have been worse if he waited until after signing day. That would have been disingenuous to the recruits and we would have to have released them from their LOIs

He hated modern day recruiting

And we get to enjoy those dreams becoming nightmares.

AGREE 100(+) %, or whatever the max % is.

Nick is available

And Mullens said "what was shared with me is that the OFFICIAL CONTACT came on Saturday morning. That’s what’s been shared with me.” With agents involved, how could it be any different????

I'm gonna disagree. We need a lifer. Cal is a tough sell with VERY sub U of O facilities. Surround himself with good coaches who can recruit. We were willing to go 7+ mil per year. Justin will come cheaper and use the excess for assistants. I want more, but average 9 and an occasional playoff, Ok.

Twice burned, need a lifer, not rental, Wilcox + I'm sure Mullens sent a thank you note to FSU and they have been on his Xmas list for 4 years now. Miami next. From the sounds of what recruits said this weekend in regard to MC's visits, it was still up in the air. I think MC did it with more class, didn't use "company plane and resources" for his ditch. But that is like calling Moe the smart stooge.

Hey Mario, PLEASEEEEEE make up your mind well before 5 pm when my moderating shift starts.

No we don't. He harbored a spousal abuser for years. ZERO tolerance.

Check out how Miami is treating Diaz. That could be you next. So, hire Diaz as your new OC and sell that to Miami.

Let's hope they follow Mario and become Ducks!
