With the NFL rookie of the year at QB and by 1 point over a 3 loss team.
It was still a win and that trophy is sitting in Eugene.

Mario won a Rose Bowl, so I would treat him as someone who brought prestige to the football program if he was to make a visit to Autzen.

Miami would fire him if his team performed like Oregon did the PAC 12 CG. Does Mario really think that any administration that treats Manny Diaz this way will suddenly show patience with him? Doubtful. The Curse of the Duck is strong with coaches who exit this program. My guess is it will follow MC to The U.

Wilcox would be a c- hire. He’s done nothing at cal.
if he’s our coach get ready for a lot of top 30 recruiting classes ( Instead of top 10) and 7-5 or 8-4 seasons.
Joe Brady or Peterson should be the priority.
going with a wilcox because he’s an Oregon guy would be a huge mistake.
Brady would only use Oregon as a stepping stone/rehabilitation job before moving on.

Carpenter, Hester and Platt reported that it’s a done deal on ESPNU Radio a little over an hour ago.

It’s official. ESPN reported it.

Nick Rolovich, former WSU, the Coach the State of Washington terminated for all the wrong reasons, laid the groundwork for the Cougars success in 2021. He is a principled fellow and a solid coach.
He would get the same treatment from Oregon students that Greg Schiano got from Tennessee students.

Canzano Tweeted that he thinks Oregon will go after Chip. To me, that would be like reconnecting with your high school girlfriend at your 20 year reunion and the only thing you have in common is a divorce.
Chip doesn’t like to do the things that Mario does well. Recruiting and pressing the flesh with boosters isn’t his thing. However, he would no longer be shackled by just recruiting kids who could qualify academically at UCLA.

Andy Ludwig from Utah. He makes $855K this year. Oregon has a bigger budget for assistant coaches. He also has worked at Oregon under Belotti, but way more experienced now.

It looks like DeRuyter is on loan to UGA.

Ah yes. But what do you think the chances are that this years Ok State is going to give up 42 points to this offense? Maybe we could win 21-15 though, and I would be happy with that, but I think we will get crushed by whoever we face from the Big 12 in this upcoming bowl game.
If their RB is healthy then I feel for the Duck defense.

Because he’s leaving. His post-game comments told the story. Any Oregon fan who was here during the Taggart era can sniff this garbage out.

Huh? Nebraska 33 Arizona 0???
Sorry. 2008. The “Masoli Trucks OSU DB” game. Which was repeated the following season, only a different OSU DB.

Without a doubt, I would hire Lane Kiffin. He's clearly grown as a coach since his disastrous stint at USC. I think his time with Saban was a real growth period and what he has done with Mississippi is testament to that.
While his personality many not be for everyone, I get the sense the players love him. Also, he knows how to develop a QB which, to date, has been a material question around MC. There are undoubtedly mitigating reasons for this, but it is a huge unknown and a material liability if, in fact, proves to be an accurate assessment.
Ducks can afford him since there is a nine figure pile of cash on the table for Mario. Just have to cater to his ego.

Looks like the Alamo Bowl will be a rematch of the 2009 Holiday Bowl. Let’s hope for the same result.

Kiffin, the coach from Coastal Carolina, who would be less expensive, are the type of Coach that Oregon needs to get. It would be fun!
Chadwell is a good coach, but he doesn’t have the recruiting chops that Kiffin has. Money should be no object if Mullens and PK are serious about winning. Kiffin in the Pac-12 would drive revenue for the entire conference as well as Oregon. I like Mario, but if the Ducks can’t keep him they’re going to need a guy who can bring kids to Eugene. Just my .02.

I know nobody wants to hear this, but could you imagine Riley vs. Kiffin in the Pac-12 on a somewhat regular basis? I know ESPN is married to the SEC, but you can bet that if these two were competing against each other they would be sneaking behind the SEC’s back for a little Pac-12 side action. If Mario leaves and Mullens (and PK) are serious about shelling out $$$ for a head coach then Lane Kiffin is who they should call and offer 9 figures over a long term contract.
Now hear me out. Despite his character flaws (although he has matured) he is one of the brightest offensive minds in CFB. He’s also a terrific recruiter who has a ton of connections on the West Coast and in the South. Ole Miss is a small market team and Lane has them competing really well in the toughest division in the toughest conference. They’re likely going to a NY6 bowl game.
I think he likes the West Coast and I think he would like to get out from under Saban’s shadow and create his own legacy. The attention that he and the University of Oregon would get would be unprecedented. Oregon has the money, but do they have the maracas to bring in a once hated rival? It could be fun.

I'd still like the Ducks to re-adopt the best mission statement in UO history:
WIN THE DAY
I don’t recall a single game in the Chip Kelly era when the team came out as flat as what we saw last night against Utah. Maybe that has to do with teams of the past knowing games weren’t over if they fell behind because their offenses actually had a passing game.
One thing about Chip’s Oregon teams is they were never blown out. The came close against LSU but DT got a garbage time TD to make it look respectable. USC came close as well but that team fought back and almost won the game.
-
Chip is not a great head coach right now. I don’t know what happened. Maybe it’s just a lack of support from the UCLA administration. Mora had great recruiting classes but could win there. I don’t know. That said, Chip needs to change his recruiting philosophy and his attitude toward boosters to be great again.
-
I’m actually looking forward to Saturday. I think the Big 12 and SEC championship games are going to be really good. As for the Ducks, I’ll watch the Alamo Bowl but I hope TT gets the start.

Miami may want to wait and see what Lane Kiffin has to say. If they just pulled the AD from Clemson then he might be somebody Lane wants to work for. He’s definitely a hotter name in coaching right now.

Now that The U has an established AD, their fan boys on their message boards are pumping the brakes on Mario. They want the new AD to do an exhaustive search to get “a real head coach”. Their words, not mine. I think last night’s game has made them change their tune.

Just saying. This team is playing like it knows MC is leaving. There was never a single season under Chip Kelly where Oregon failed to atleast have a fighting chance in any game.
So if Mario is gone by the end of the weekend and Chip is near the end of his contract, who could Oregon honestly do better by going after than the guy who knows how to coach an Oregon team to score more points than current passing yards tonight?
His buyout is low and his contract would be less than the 7 ish million they are trying to put up to keep Cristobal in town. He would keep the top level receiver talent from transferring and give Ty Thompson the best chance at immediate success against a brutal Out of Conference schedule right out of the gates next season.
Chip was good when the spread was new and innovative. Now, he might as well be coaching while wearing a powdered wig, knee-high socks and buckled shoes.

Look on the bright side. The U might not be so keen to hire him away.
Monday Recruiting Visits CANCELLED: Cristobal Flying Back to Eugene

With Oregon’s progressive tax rate, Mario would be giving $700K back to the state. No State income tax in Florida.
