I have the same feeling. However, I still hold out hope for that Lincoln Riley-like shocker.

And if ESPN is reporting it then things are starting to smolder.

I heard that his recruiting has tailed off since his days in LA. Ole Miss is 33rd. That’s pretty bad for a SEC school with 10 wins and an offensive genius as head coach.

Here’s the problem. It’s public knowledge that Oregon can pay top dollar. Unfortunately, there are no top dollar coaches between the ones they’re interviewing. However, they all want that kind of money.

Judging from what I’m reading it’s between Wilcox, Chip, or Sitake. Everybody else is just rumors.

It looks like Winston is gone.

This is all true. I heard it on the Pac12 SXM show this morning. Mirabal is also coming back to coach. Mario didn’t want to leave the team high and dry for the bowl game.

That’s what his agent is for. It doesn’t make sense that Kiffin would call for himself. However, it does make sense that PK doesn’t want him. It may not be that he dislikes him. It could mean that both sides are way off on the buyout which is very plausible. Oregon is going to want a very high one and Kiffin may want some clauses put in for certain NFL jobs or the Alabama job.

Yeah. This seems odd. Kiffin’s agent is Jimmy Sexton. He would seem to be the one calling Mullens and inquiring about the job and getting the contract details. To infer that Jimmy Sexton can’t get a hold of Mullens directly doesn’t seem plausible. He’s the biggest agent in the country.

Quite a collection of athletes from Medford back then if you include Dick Fosbury. My parents graduated from Medford in the 60’s.

May the wind always be at his back and the sun on his mustache.

They could only afford DeBoer.

This is true. He would be uncomfortably close to Seattle and Pete is getting pretty long in the tooth.

I don’t think there’s a college campus in this country that wouldn’t protest his hiring.

Kiffin is making $7.5M, so $8.5M/year may not do it. One could live like Jeff Bezos off of $7.5M/year in Mississippi. Lane’s agent might angle for eight figures annually.

I have mixed feelings on Feld. At first, I thought all the injuries fell under the umbrella of his strength and conditioning program. As I dug further, I found out how hard MC liked the guys to go in practice. A lot of full contact drills. I know that’s how Flowe got hurt. Now I’m wondering if their bodies were too beat up come game time.

He might get me to join Twitter. Of course, I would have to ditch the Nokia.

All of those recruits who were scrambling to USC one Riley was hired might have to give Oregon a 2nd look.

Kiffin. He has 10 wins playing in the SEC West. He’s also an offense/QB guru. Great national recruiter as well. We would always have top offensive talent because of his reputation.

I hope he keeps that mentality because today’s kids are much different. The country was much different back then. I remember playing a HS playoff game at Autzen when it was nothing but a grassy hill surrounded by a gravel parking lot. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Thees kids today like to be pampered. Nothing wrong with it. Social media and TV highlight everything. In fact, Oregon is to blame for much of the hype and that’s a good thing Mario is just saying that because his facilities are trash right now. He has to try and sell the past to recruits. I’m interested to see how well he does without Bama or Oregon facilities backing him up.

That depends on the new coach and who he wants. I would like to see Salavea and B Mac stay. I would like to see DeRuyter and Feld leave.

I think a lot of people would be surprised at how many LDS players Oregon has on the roster.

Cut those numbers in half.

Mario better get used to being in El Paso every Bowl season.

On the bright side, they all think Mt. Hood is absolutely gorgeous.
