Ducks defense snagged 16 interceptions. Good for 6th nationally. However, they got 12 QB sacks. Good for 122nd nationally. They were 126th in TFL’s. One thing that really impressed me about the offense (beside sacks allowed) was they only lost 3 fumbles (3rd nationally) and one of those was a punter. That being said they were +10 in turnovers which was 8th nationally. I would say a couple pass rushers and LB’s are needed as well as a couple of experienced O-Linemen.

I would rather coach USF if I were him. Recruiting can be done by car and he has all that talent to pick from. His presence would put a serious strain on the other schools in Florida when it comes to signing top players. Mario could probably hang with him but Napier, Malzahn and Norvell would lose some recruits.

Satterfield had two good games this year. I went to the USC/Mizzou game and their offense scored 10 points at home. I don’t see Nebraska improving that much next season.

Utah was able to back into the championship game, but if they lose then they will have 3 conference losses. Might that bump them below uw and Oregon? I have no idea. That’s up to the respective selection committees.

We already snatched Junior Adams from Seattle. May as well go see what Jimmy Lake is up to. He can recruit and coach defense and would probably like to stick it to uw in the coming years. The good part is he wouldn’t have to stick to recruiting smart kids.

I thought Miami would be in the ACC championship game.

Moore has a better chance at immediate playing time if he sticks with Oregon. Michigan has a Freshman QB who just kicked the snot out of Ohio State yesterday.

They need to go find a good QB coach.

I think he’ll go back to the NFL. He’ll be in demand as a coordinator. As for who replaces him, Tom Herman and Brian Harsin are still out there.

I hate to say it but the Ducks are becoming well known for pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory. Between TCU, Stanford (2018, 2021), Oregon State (2020, 2022), Auburn (2019), and this year’s Washington game Oregon has failed to put teams away when they were clearly the more dominant team.

Thompson seems like a possibility.

It looks like another PAC 12 job has come open. Who do you think they’ll get? David Shaw resigns after 12 seasons as Stanford football HC WWW.ESPN.COM Stanford head coach David Shaw has resigned after 12 seasons at his alma mater.

Blowing a big lead never happened under Chip. Helfrich, Mario and now Lanning have choked away big leads. It’s not disarray, it’s football. The Chip era was an anomaly.

I’m watching the USC QB right now. He is sealing the Heisman. Oregon doesn’t want anything to do with him. It will be fun to watch him kill UW’s defense though.

The Ducks have the record for biggest collapse in a bowl game, so this is par for the course.

FYI. MC’s coaching isn’t doing him any favors. He’s down 28-0 at the half.

When those who aren’t meant to be in the arena enter the arena and arena-like things happen to them then they should remember why they have assigned seats instead of sideline passes.

Does it matter? I hear Utah goes to the PAC championship if us loses.

Just for perspective. The Ducks won the offensive yardage by150 and were +3 in turnovers. One has to work really hard to lose a game like that.

I’ve. Seen. Worse. (January 2, 2016)

Anybody who has high school age kids knows that the mullet has made a comeback. It’s cool again. At least with the young kids.

He’ll get some good recruiting classes, so the talent will be there. Miami will be better next year than they were this year.

I don’t think he’ll be doing it again. It looked like the ref gave him a talking-to in the original broadcast.

Mario will probably improve, but I love seeing Canes fans gripe about him. They thought everything would be rainbows and unicorns with him leading the team and they were quick to dismiss any Duck fan who told them otherwise. I also think it’s hilarious that they think firing Gattis after this season is a forgone conclusion. They already have threads going about who is going to replace him. I don’t think they understand how stubborn Mario is about the type of offense he wants to run.
