    Cam Ward Hits The Transfer Portal

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted

    Herbert beat out a transfer. Mariota made a Rose Bowl winning and championship game QB leave early rather than lose a competition for the starter spot. If TT is that guy, it wouldn't matter who he competes with for QB1. If he's not the guy, then bringing in a one and done QB1 next year makes sense. Hopefully, UO starts developing these backups so that they can become reliable starters in the future.

    Oregon OC Will Stein Named Potential Candidate for Houston Cougars HC Job

    All this one and done UO coach poaching is getting ridiculous. Taggart had Justin frigging Herbert. Dilly and Stein had Nix. QBs like that don't just grow on trees and will make any offense look great . If I were throwing around millions of dollars to hire the face of my university, I'd want to see a larger sample size of what the coach can accomplish and what they look like when not coaching generational talent.

    Rumor is he injured his ribs in the UO game and has still not recovered.

     

    That’s been my theory. I think it’s also affected his will to compete. I think the Ducks pass rush haunts his dreams. He’s been dreading next week for the past month and it shows.

    Florida leads FSU 10-0 in the second quarter. Lots of close calls almost have helped UO this week. If FSU goes down, the Pac champ should be a shoe in for the playoffs. fuskies piddling in the corner today look to scared to battle for the championship. Go Ducks and Go Gators!

    Is Will Stein Better Than OCs Chip, Helfrich & Frost?

    For an outside the box take, I'd propose that Lanning himself may be the best OC the Ducks have had.

     

    Early in his coaching carrier at UO, Lanning said that the offense would be a blend of his, Dilly's and the position coaches concepts. He also said that for years, he and Dilly would bounce ideas off each other to get a better understanding of how an offense or defense would respond to a certain type of play or formation. Lanning said that a better understanding of offensive scheming made him a better defensive coordinator. When Stein took over for Dilly, Lanning said that the offensive scheme already in place would remain in place and Stein would be adding his takes to the mix.

     

    Bottom line, this offensive game plan is baked into Lanning's offensive philosophy and will remain regardless of who the offensive coordinator is.

    The Beavers Control our Destiny

    UO wins the next three games and they are in the playoffs period. The leading Heisman contender won't be elbowed aside by anybody.If the fuskies blow it against the #12 beavs, they wouldn't drop enough to matter and the Pac would have three top 10 ish teams before the conference championship. Any one loss Pac team is in this year. And this year, it will be the Ducks.

    If I Were Lanning?

    UO gave Lanning $4M+ a year for his first head coaching gig. The next year they bumped it up to nearly $7m a year for a Mario like year. If he gets to the playoff, I'd expect that to get bumped up again in the $10M a year range regardless of the ATMs lurking out there. I can't see him leaving the perfect situation for similar pay to have to just recreate an infrastructure all over again to just be the 3rd or 4th best team in the SEC.

    UO/ Uncle Phil could just verbal with Lanning that they'll match whatever the ATM coach gets and that should be that. Everything is setting up perfectly for him here. ATM would be a high stress pressure cooker with oil tycoons playing general manager constantly in his ear telling him what to do. Hard pass.
