    Was Rob Mullens Prepared For This?

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted

    Hasn't it been said that he knew about this several weeks before MC left? Only so much you can do. Did he call the search company and tell

     

    them to start working on this weeks before MC left? I bet he did. We only know what they want us to know. What if in fact Fickle is the guy. 

     

    He's got Cincy in the playoffs and a distraction would be terrible for his team. Keeping things hush hush would be paramount. FWIW I was

     

    listening to The Fan 1080 and Suke was saying the longer it takes the better it will be. Just his opinion of course. RB could have a hire right

     

    now if he wanted but would it be the right guy? Waiting and playing the long game with the new HC hire is more important I would think.

    Will a Dabo do UO?

    Dabo is also a deeply religious Christian (as are most coaches and players from the south) and he's not shy about expressing his beliefs. Not in an in your face way like Tebo, he just lives it loud and proud and genuine. Hard to imagine that being tolerated in a city like Eugene.

    A lot can be tolerated if the Ducks are in the CFP

    When hasn't there been drama at Oregon? MC seemed to have it under control until the air gun fiasco. His coaching was mediocre at best.

     

    Taggert left with drama. So much for "Do something". Helfich lost control of team and brought the Ducks their 1st losing season years.

     

    Chip had several players who got into trouble and he turned off some fans with his snarky attitude. But he got the wins. Then there was the

     

    Luke Bellotti/Colleen Bellotti situation. Not Mike's fault but it's on his watch as they say. Thing is there's always been drama at Oregon in one

     

    form or another. With that being said if Meyer did come to Oregon that would be a shocker. On the other hand it would seem like a demotion

     

    like JM leaving for Akron. I just don't see it happening. Plus the NFL is still in full swing and unless he's fired today I highly doubt he'd drop

     

    everything and run to Oregon. No coach is perfect so why not get one thats a proven winner? It doesn't have to be Mr Perfect as it's been

     

    shown that Mr Perfect doesn't always stay Mr Perfect.

    please everyone stop w the Kiffin talk. he was a disaster and embarrassment at usc. i don’t care how much he’s “improved” as a coach, oregon deserves better than sc’s sloppy seconds. in fact, if OR is targeting ANY former or current pac12 coaches, it would be a major disappointment. 

     

    imho, we need a young, nfl assistant 

    And after 2-3 years they'll go back to the NFL as an HC. The only coach that will stay long term is one thats older and who is looking at

     

    Oregon as a last hurrah or a home grown alumn. In between those are splashy hires that'll say they're super excited to be here and want to

     

    make Oregon the face of college football on the west coast and plan to be here forever, but just like Tag and MC or even Chip when the

     

    dream job comes calling they're gone. 

    Is Mullens In Front Of The Players Too?

    Per this article

     

    https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2021/12/live-updates-oregon-athletic-director-rob-mullens-addresses-departure-of-mario-cristobal-ducks-coaching-search.html

     

    On who will serve as interim coach:

     
     

    “The priority is absolutely the student-athletes and that’s what I’ve been spending my morning doing. I met with Mario early this morning to hear his final decision. We spoke throughout the night actually, but to hear the final decision. We had the team meeting. I’ve met with the staff. I’ve reached out to the coaches that are on the road and talked to them directly or left a voicemail. That is the priority is maintain the support structure around these student-athletes. They’ve done everything requested of them to have a great season, win 10 wins, win the North division and have a tremendous opportunity to go to (the) Alamo Bowl and play Oklahoma. That is our absolutely priority today is to make sure we set that up. I’m trying to get an understanding of who’s going with Mario immediately and once I have that then we will have an interim coach in place and I shared that with both the student-athletes and the support staff.”

     

    Looks to me like he talked to the players.

    Informed Prediction Time: Chip Kelly Might be the Next Guy

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted · Edited by GODUCKS15

    Chip doesn't have to run the same blur surprise offence as he did when at Oregon. He went 8-4 this year with much less talent than Oregon

     

    has. Take away the P12 Champ game and thats only two less wins that MC got the Ducks. Chips NFL tour was a bust. Where else would he

     

    need to go? Certainly not back to NH. Yeah he sucks at recruiting but some of that can be fixed with really good recruiting assistant

     

    coaches.

    Five Candidates and Two Firecrackers to Replace Cristobal and Get Oregon Back to a ‘Natty

    I know he's probably a long timer at BYU and a long shot but he did knock off UT and 4 other P12 schools. 

     

    Next choice would be Dave Aranda. I think he'd bring back the excitement to Oregon football that MC couldn't.

     

    Last would be the three amigos Wilcox, Sirmon and Musgrave. I'm not a big fan of alumni ex-players being head coaches because if they

     

    falter  then it's emotionally hard to ask them to leave.
