    Another stepping stone job?

     

    This would be my big concern. No connection, no ties to anything in the PNW, or the entire west coast for that matter. 

     

    He will be looking for a head coach gig in the SEC within a few years.

     

    I like the idea on paper, but the thought of continuing on this carousel just makes me nauseous.

     

    This is what I don't get. Seems as many fans are vehemently against Wilcox a local guy and a Duck, but they are willing to jump on some complete strangers band wagon in an instant. A guy with no head coaching experience....no track record at all.

  2. My wife just said she will start watching the Ducks again if they hire Chip Kelly back. 

     

    So now I am all in on the Chipster coming back home.

     

    My wife stopped watching during the 2016 season and couldn't stomach slick or cristobails offenses enough to keep watching. Maybe my kids will even start watching if we are scoring 45 a game with many explosive plays.

  3. So many people in this day and age think it's ALL about recruiting. Cristo-bail proved it's not. 

     

    I would much rather do more with less than less with more.

     

    Miami is in for a harsh reality over the next few years. Talk about sticker shock.

     

    We are actually really fortunate that Mario left as I am certain we were looking at doing less with more for the foreseeable future. I think Mycah Pittman and the other receivers attitudes were an obvious and direct result of less with more.

    I tend to think all this guessing is just causing indigestion for the masses.

    Yep, it's not healthy. I have begun to reflect upon this myself. My wife and children have said as much themselves.

     

    What will be will be. While I would love to see the Ducks win a NC, I think we all may need to resign ourselves to the fact that the chances are actually quite slim.

     

    I am considering taking a long break from Ducks sports, as I am not sure all the angst has been good for me or my family.

    what makes him snake-like is he said he was staying at oregon to get us a natty. he sold that to these kids. and even the recent graduates who thought they were going be the foundation of that natty in coming years.

     

    he also sold those kids that they were his family. everyone uses MCs proximity to family as an excuse for his departure. but i thought he had 100+ family members in eugene. 

     

    all those players who were CristoBallIn… they got him his job, and he ditches before their last bowl game. and ditches at the worst time for ducks future. 

     

    and when he had the chance to come clean and be straight, he mocked people for questioning him. 

     

    he’s snake-like bc he lied and we believed him. i really believed him. 

     

     

    Yep.....all this.

     

    How about Ryan Day? Let's devastate tOSU twice in the same season.

    You are calling Mario a snake.....

     

    Because he left for a job in his home town, at his alma mater, and has a desire to be close to his family, especially his mother who is having serious health issues? Oh, and he'll make $8 million dollars a year!

     

    And that makes him a snake?

     

    Coaches move on.....deal with it.

    Not me as much as several of the players and their parents. I am good with him going, but he definitely told some stretchers to kids and their parents about what he was building at Oregon. 

     

    I am actually really happy he left because I grew so tired of watching his offense I actually considered not watching any longer.

     

    So.........people lie and are deceitful...........and they get called out........

    Why?

    Simply because he is another snake, just like slick and Mario. It's more of the same. Personally I would like to get off the carousel.

     

    Coaching wise it seems to make sense, but I care more about the program as a whole then just wins and losses. 

     

    My belief is that if we do the right thing and invest in Oregonians then things will work themselves out eventually. I actually think we would be really surprised by the success a Wilcox + Musgraves + Sirmon + Heyward + Mcclendon team would have with the roster we have.  Heyward and Mclendon are nationally recognized recruiters.

     

    Time to stop chasing rainbows..........it's insane.

  8. No he wasn't in my opinion. I mean it's semantics as he was our coach and a fairly good one at that. He is a good man, but he does not bleed green and yellow the way so many of us have since we were children. 40 years for me.

     

    Much like Taggart, Mario will live to regret his decision. He will last about 5 seasons and be canned after playing roughly .500 ball. I believe Miami will be a much more difficult place to win games and even retain high caliber recruits and those realizations will set in the same way they did for slick at FSU. 

     

    Karma always has the last laugh I suppose. Oregon made Cristobal who he is, without us there is no big contract to go back to his alma mater.

    I’ve been wondering for a while how the Boise States, the BYU’s, I’ll even throw in FSU; manage to year in, year out, regardless of coach, significantly out-perform their talent level.

    Exactly. This is what we need. It was honestly all I could do to muster watching our games any longer. It wasn't the plodding offense or the boneheaded game management as much as it was what seemed like a lack of desire.....almost a sense of entitlement that just made me disinterested.
