I wonder how much MC's stubbornness played a role in Ty not playing? Even if the effort was there it could've been passed over so MC could take the safe route. No one seems to know why Ty didn't start. Bases covered with Nix.

Oh okay yeah I didn't check his eligibility length. Hmmm I guess it's good for the team but maybe tough for some young QB's.

On the plus side we won't be staring an unproven QB in next years opener. Assuming Nix is the starter.

I was worried about this happening. I guess it's all part of being a player on the cusp. You wait for you chance than it's snatched away by an incoming transfer. I would bet Dilly dilly will start Nix over TT or Butterfield. Who transfers? Then what happens in 2023? Maybe I'm over thinking it.

It's more about the players than the fans IMO. This is their reward or end result of their hard earned efforts this season. I don't think I could tell all those players still on the team that it won't be worth playing one more game this season because your HC left and some of your teammates left as well.

Why would the interim coaches care about developing talent for next season during their last game coaching in a bowl game? Seems to me it's all about winning the Alamo Bowl vs an OOC weak opponent game where you can test the talent of a new QB.

How involved is Lanning in this game? He's still coaching his GA defense. Just a hunch but I'm betting that as of now AB gives the ducks the best chance to be in the game. It would seem that if it gets out of hand and Oregons down by several TD's that Ty would see some game time. Or if AB comes out looking like he did against UT and he gets benched the coaches would insert Ty or one of the other QB's. Looks like the staff is just staying the course for now.

More deep pass plays or simply more pass plays.

Fan wise it's a great home game schedule. Record wise it's going to be a down year next year.

I wanted to know if he's ever thought about calling a time out on his 1st play of the opening drive.

I spent 30 yrs in construction and found that age and experience aren't determining factors for leadership or the ability to be self sustained.. There were many guys that I hired that were in there 40's 50's that just weren't as sharp as some in their 30's or even 20's. It's the 'it' factor IMO. You either have it or you don't. I think it all depends on how you analyze your surroundings and apply that to your decision making. While an old crusty might seem like a lifeline hire for Lanning I think there are enough young guns out there that between Lanning and that young gun they'll figure it out pretty quickly so for me it's not a concern as a long as they can work together well enough.

Low risk low reward High risk high reward Lets hope it's not high risk low reward. It's all so new right now that it's just speculation as to what will become if the Lanning hire. Everything was all rainbows and unicorns when MC got hired. Talk is cheap. As much as I'm excited for the hire I've put my expectations on hold until next fall.

Hopefully we'll get to see Ty play in the Alamo bowl. That may end some of the speculation about him.

Here's an interesting scenario. Nix was the QB under Dillingham at AU. Any chance that if Dillinghams hired that Nix transfers to Oregon? that would blowup our young QB's. Per Fansided The current Florida State OC left the program after an 8-4 regular season finish and didn’t stick around to see two straight six-win seasons. At this point, without Nix as QB1, Dillingham looks more likely to take the Oregon OC job offered by new head coach Dan Lanning and bring Nix with him.

My point was Herbert was a SR and played his last UO game in the Rose. Brown was the QB for the Alamo.

Justin Herbert didn't opt out. But I guess he's not the kind of guy that only thinks about himself.

Word has it he wanted hooded sweatshirts and Phil said no.

Love him or hate him he was a thorn in Oregons side far too many times.

Wikipedia Dillingham was hired to be the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Auburn in 2019, replacing. Chip Lindsey.[5][6] During his time at Auburn he helped Bo Nix become the SEC Rookie of the Year. While also being the most improved offense in the SEC. His final game vs Alabama the offense put up 48 points. Which is the most points scored on a Nick Saban defense. He spent one season with the Tigers, where they recorded a 9-3 record. Auburn also had its highest recruiting ranking in the 247 recruiting ranking era during Dillingham’s year as OC. That was the same year the Ducks lost to AU 27-21 He might be just fine with the offensive talent Oregon has.

LOL duh. Too much coaching carousel. I'll still stick with my 1-2 loss comparison though.

I think Riley has to get the nod here. More HC experience and a loaded base for recruiting. I feel that Riley and Lanning will trade wins in the next 5 years. Dickert is at WSU which even with Leech just never quite made it to the top so due to proximity I don't think he'll recruit as well and that will have WSU getting 1-2 more L's a year than UO/USC. With that being said the P12 just got better with those 3 new HC hires as well as Smith at OSU and Willingham at UT the P12 should be a force to reckon with in the next 2 years.

The UO/GA game next year just got even more interesting.

Apparently it does.

Sweet.

What would it take for Lanning to come to Oregon besides being the DC on a #3 team that's in the final four? Money is about it.
