ASU is projected as one of Spencer Rattler's landing spots?
Now that their big name QB is staying for his Sr. Year I don’t know if Rattler is up for another QB competition.

We still gotta go 3 hrs back East. Sure would like some of these games out west at a neutral site.
I think now that SoFi and Allegiant have been built they’re planning on having some of those big pre-season match-ups out West. I wouldn’t count on a SEC coming out, though. Especially, after LSU came out and lost this year.

After years of taking a beating from the college football world I think Kiffin likes being adored. A believe me, those Ole Miss fans love him. If he wins the SEC West then it will be gravy, but he’s not under the same pressure that Saban and Harsin feel.
I just don’t see him leaving for a place that plays in front of 20K fans and has mediocre facilities. Leaving after 2 seasons would not help repair his reputation any. He’ll always be looked at as the coach with one foot out the door.

So many rumors about him leaving. But he did not get an offer from Florida and Notre Dame and likely will not receive an offer from Oklahoma?
He was on Florida’s short list. Oklahoma won’t hire him because they want to run a pass-first offense. Notre Dame won’t hire somebody from “The U”. Too much bad blood.
-
Having full control over the entire operation isn’t something that’s normal unless the coach has earned that right. Saban, Dabo and maybe Smart are a few who can call their own shots. I would imagine that Bohn will even keep the reigns on Riley until he fully trusts him.
I think the leadership in the Oregon athletic department is the reason why their coaches have been successful. As opposed to programs like Texas and Florida who look to coaches to be the reason they succeed. All the while not giving them the support they need or micromanaging them. -
Why has Moorhead accepted the job at Akron already? Unless he has been told that there is zero chance of him getting the HC job at Oregon, I would think he would wait around to see if he would be considered. After all, Oregon likes to promote from within. This program has only done one external hire in the last 40 years and it was a disaster.
Mario may have looked at the situation and realized that every coach since Coker has failed. Diaz and Richt are great recruiters and successful coaches, so it’s likely not the coaches. It all depends on what he wants to do. Miami can’t pay him more than Oregon if PK wants to keep him.
-
Seeing as how MC likes to poach coaches from within the Pac 12 (Mastro, DeRuyter), don’t be surprised if he goes after Andy Ludwig at Utah. He would make more money at Oregon and he runs an offense that would make MC giddy. Moorhead is currently making about $250K more than he is.

The grass in those indoor stadiums is really nice. It’s a hybrid of Kentucky bluegrass and Northern California Sinsemilla. The good thing about this stuff is you can play 60 minutes of football on and then take some home and…..well…….just ask Carl Spackler.

But I was surprised Mario was not on Florida's radar? Billy Napier has been great in the G5; has not been a HC in the P5. This to me is telling when it comes to teams looking at Mario and whether Mario deserves a raise because of these other hires? With Mario not in the mix for the big time jobs why move him into the $9M club when his big W to date is a Rose Bowl win against a 3L team?
I read SDS and MC was all over UF’s radar. So was Kiffin, Campbell, Mark Stoops and Aranda. I didn’t hear about them getting an off either. Most likely because UF was shut down.
The Gators are a lot like that lady who has been divorced 3 times and claims the reason is because she only attracts terrible men. However, the one common denominator in all her failed marriages is her. Smart men see this and run the other way, but there is always one guy who thinks it will be different with him. Napier is that guy.

The question is if MC is interested in a move to Miami or OK.
Oklahoma isn’t even considering MC. He doesn’t have the offensive mindset they desire.
Regarding MC’s pay raise. If Oregon or PK plans on keeping him around then they will have to pay up. If not, it’s back to square one and Oregon will always be thought of as a stepping-stone school.
PK has put a lot of $$$ into the facilities. It would only make sense that he invests the same in the coaching staff. Oregon will not attract top talent at $5M/year when other places are paying twice that. If they happen to find a high performer at $5M/year then he will get poached in short order. Eight figures is the new standard.

Looks like it’s official. Yahoo Sports apparently just reported his hiring.

Baylor plays OK ST Saturday. Is Aranda now the guy at LSU? I think Bill O'Brien is also in the mix for the LSU job.
Rumor has it that LSU is making Brian Kelley a priority. We’ll see how it goes.
-
Yes. They scored 28 points against the Beavs and they needed it because the defense gave up 4 TD’s in the 2nd half.
-
My guess is he’ll go to Ole Miss or ASU unless they (ASU) get hit with sanctions. Ole Miss makes the most sense for him, though. Their starter is leaving and he’ll have Kiffin as his personal QB guru. That is, unless Kiffin leaves for a better job.

Not in the 2 OT game vs UGA in the Rose Bowl.
That was his best team and the year Stoops handed him the keys to the sports car.

Not gonna happen. He’ll be a HC in the NFL next year.

facemask to shoulder pad? huh?
Yup. And his eyes were up, so no crown of the helmet. On your screen shot he was still a foot or so away from the WR.

It's pretty clear that this guy along with a bunch of other Southern California highly rated Oklahoma commits are going to bail on Oklahoma and join Riley at USC. Recruiting in Southern California just got a lot harder.
The thing about Riley is that he is like Cristobal in that he recruits and has connections nation wide. He will get the pick of the litter in the Los Angeles area, as well nabbing recruits from Texas, Florida, and everywhere else.
Riley will more than likely get the recruits that took off to Clemson, Bama, etc. because USC wasn’t good. If MC stays he’ll still get the same great recruits he has always gotten. His replacement for Moorhead will be a big factor, though.

Riley likes being the top guy in his conference. He would be middle-of-the-road if he went with OU into the SEC.

The refs did make the right call. They called targeting because McKinley had every chance to not lead with his head but he did. That play is always ruled targeting and there was no hesitation, they threw the flag even Mario pointed Mckinley to the replay screen when he cried that he didnt mean to.
The reasons for overturning the call were never explained, which is convenient. Its nice to see at least some duck fans admitting the obvious: it was targetting.
Not even close. That’s why the refs came back so quick with their decision. He hit the receiver in the shoulder. He didn’t use the crown of his helmet nor did he make forcible contact to the head or neck of a defenseless player. Watch the replay again.

This now opens Oklahoma up. Their first season in the SEC, come in after Riley, what coach wants that?
Kentucky had better lock Mark Stoops down.

Miami is not without billionaires in their booster ranks. And there has never been a time like now that a desire to change course has been shared amongst the president, a large contingent of the BOT, and the alumni/boosters.
It has not been a matter of having money, it has been a matter of willingness to spend it. Mario is not unhappy in Eugene, but in order to stay it should be expected that he will have a significantly better contract. He will be the number one candidate at Miami when the AD is in place, and they are not going to assume he will take a pay cut relative to his value to come home.
They had better be willing to spend it on a stadium on campus. They also better be willing to lower their entrance scores for student athletes. As of now, athletes are held to the same standards as other students. This isn’t the 80’s and 90’s anymore. And don’t bring up 2001. That was solely due to Butch Davis’ loose interpretation of NCAA rules. Just look at his record at UNC.
-
“The U” needs much deeper pockets if they want to match Uncle Phil. That is, if PK wants to keep MC around. I’ve heard he’s willing to do what it takes to keep him. Miami is probably looking for the alumni discount.

The Beavs stink on the road but this isn’t the typical road game. Lots of orange in the stands at Autzen. It’s a hard fought battle like last year, but Oregon drives down in the final minutes with a 7 point lead to seal it with a FG. Unfortunately, Lewis shanks it and Beavis goes on to tie it with a solid 2-minute drill. Oregon gets the ball first in OT and Lewis nails a 37 yarder. However, Beavis gets a TD for the win.
Beavers 30 - Ducks 27
0 TO’s created
2 sacks
207 passing yards.

Yeah. Give him some reps. Brown is flustered.
