    Really not fair to Duck players that Lanning is looking at Auburn and Dillingham candidate for Arizona State head coach job

    The first question is, is Lanning looking at Auburn?  I sure as heck don't think so and have seen nothing CREDIBLE that would indicate he is.

     

    Additional questions are whether Dillingham the candidate is interesting in being THE candidate with the unknown sanctions pending and better jobs in the future opening.  I realize it would be a homecoming for him, but ask Willie how'd that work out for him.  I think in Mari's case, he'll survive quite a bit longer.

    So, there you are.  Win: your brilliant.  Lose: your not.  Win: you out-coached your opponent, lose: you were out-coached.  That's fans, media and critics.

    Win: your brilliant or LUCKY.  Lose: your not or UNLUCKY .  Win: you out-coached your opponent or were LUCKY, lose: you were out-coached or UNLUCKY.  That's fans, media and critics from the other perspective. 

     

    He who wins gets to write the history.

    As far as the play in question I feel Bo saw an open field just like earlier in the game but the defensive player remembered that and filled the hole this time.

    I think that player baited Bo when he saw the formation and knew what was coming.  I'm not sure we will ever see a targeting call on a below the waist tackle.

    This onside kick would have worked had it not been kicked so far.  The ewe dub defender seemed to backtrack more than the UCLA guys.  The ball just went almost 5 yards further.  I was Ok with it, since we weren't stopping them anyway.

     

    The play Nix got hurt on, we were baited into that run.  They "showed" the same D to the same formation Nix scored on,  Hind sight indicates a Nix jump pass to a TE would have been nice to see there.  Just like a naked bootleg by TT on 4th.

    I think it is a combo between players and coaching.  You coach what you have to their strengths.  If your DBs are weak, you need to shield them with your line and LB play.  If you can't due to personnel, you're screwed. 

     

    I would think with the players and supposed coaching chops we have, a better result should be happening.  Not record wise, just scoring and yardage wise.

    TT's 5* was not a consensus and one site that gave him that rating also said some of it was based upon potential.

     

    It would be nice to see what he could do with a full playbook and the first team around him.

     

    Of course, according to our "coach speak" 1A, B & C was not clear cut in the spring or early fall . . . yeah, right.
