After getting out physicality'd twice badly by UT I wonder if MC will dig in even harder on his "Lets get physical" culture? If so what does that mean for the next OC hire? Or is it all moot anyways cause MC may be leaving. So much to ponder.

That type of stubbornness is probably one reason why Oregon has had such terrible 3rd qtr scoring. No 1/2 time adjustments. So is MC stubborn or a slow learner?

Hate to say it but 9-3 coaches don't get fired. At least not that I know of. Especially coaches that have 2 P12 championships, Fiesta and Rose Bowl game appearances all in 4 years. Did anyone really think that this was the year the Ducks would make a run at the final 4? I didn't.

Call me gullible but I kinda think MC's telling the truth. As to last nights game being lost over rumors? Nah, they got their butt handed to them just like the last time when there were no rumors. Simply outcoached and out hustled. Utes saw the egg uni's and thought "I'll have my Duck eggs over easy"

I actually think we were 1 pretty good QB away from the CFP. So many missed opportunities with AB. Injuries were the other reason as well.

Every time Chips Ducks took the field I had complete confidence in him and the team. I've never once had that with MC except for games like Stony Brook where you knew they'd win because the opponent was so much more inferior.

Kudos to KW and the Utes. I hope they get tOSU and win.

Good news Mario's staying. Bad news Mario's staying

They also have a better QB.

Whats tOSU thinking?

This is Miami. We're having 2nd thoughts.

Is Mario worth $7M?

Well this games in the dumper. AB looks lathargic.

Lets see, the last UT/UO game was 38-7 UT. MC is rumored for the Miami job, Mooreheads all but on a plane to Akron. Gee I wonder why the lackluster fan support.

I remember way back when the Ducks would barely crack the top 25 only to lose the following weekend and never be back in for the remainder of the season. How times have changed.

Experienced players are only beneficial if the game plan works. AB was pretty inconsistent throughout the season. AB was a 6 year senior with lots of playing experience. I'm just not sure that no matter how good they players are that they'll get to shine in under MC. Would the Ducks have lost to Stanford or UT if Herbert were playing? Maybe not but Justin's not the norm.

MC will hire a 'Yes sir' OC and nothings going to change.

“We're systematic. And we're systematic from a cultural standpoint as well.” Cristobal said. “We do things a certain way. And when you come here to Oregon, you have to do things our way. We tweak schemes. We make adjustments, we make advances, we progress. But we do things a certain way. So for us and our players, they know us. We’re honest with them. There are no concerns.” Next OC up.

34-24 UT 0 TO 1 sack 258

Ducks just can't win. (Pun intended)

If MC leaves then so be it. The only drop off Oregon had in the last 12 years was in Helfrich's final year. Taggert turned it around and now we have MC. There will be another good coach at Oregon if MC leaves. Oregons not AZ or some other school without the means to hire a good coach. I just don't get all the worry.

I hope they don't get egg on their face. Did that last time they played UT.

Could be he wants back in coaching and this would be a great way to improve your resume'. Take a team in the dumpster and bring them back to prominence would possibly open more doors for a better HC job.

If the Ducks lose to UT this Friday why would MC deserve a pay raise? I think it should be earned. So far MC's only equaled his best year. I get the pay to stay thing but except for speculation there's no indication he's on any schools short list.

This will have a feeling of a game at UT IMO. Ute's are jacked about this game. So are the Ducks but inside the stadium it may not look or sound that way.
