Alex thank you for taking the time to write the article. Whats been going on in the QB room at Oregon is truly one of 2 - 64,000 dollar questions.
While there can be outside or inside situations that influence actual playing time during a game, it really boils down to a few things.....
In the frenzy of recruiting have Oregon coaches been good at judging the potential talent of the QB position?
Thru the numerous practices from spring ball thru the usual bowl game have the coaches developed that potential talent in QB room?
I have no answers.........
Since Marcus arrived on campus to this very moment theirs been very little back up QB success. A very talented, successful starter left the program because Marcus arrived. There wasn't even a chance for that QB competition to take place.
After Marcus goes to the NFL Incomes Vernon, he gets hurt and we all know the painful outcome when his back up took the field in the bowl game.
Incomes Dakota and as an experienced transfer he was in over his head. So the coach throws Herbert into the mix. Justin struggles a little with his chance but he grows with his in game experiences. You can see and feel his potential.
Justin succeeds in spite of the coaches around him. Next season gets off to a good start then Justin gets hurt. Braxton plays his heart out but he was not ready. He was not prepared. The coaches had done little to help Braxton get ready.
Fortunately, for MC and Oregon, Justin stays another season. In spite of coaching, Justin leads the team to a 12-2 season. I don't remember seeing a great deal of Tyler during that season, do you?
But the coaches did......so they brought in Anthony. Another transfer.
In fairness Tyler got his chance. He showed undeveloped promise and then the wheels came off. Whatever happened, Tyler lost his confidence and transferred out.
Another transfer took the reigns. There were games that AB really struggled in and the back up should have been brought in. Not our coaching staff. No risk taking here. Or perhaps the back ups were not prepared by the coaches?
Riley didn't hesitate to bench Rattler and take a chance on a freshmen. Do the coaches at Oklahoma prepare their back ups better than Oregon does? Don't know because coaches didn't take a chance.
So here we go again, another transfer. Granted Bo and our new OC have a relationship. Bo should have an understanding of the schemes.
But I hope that there is competition in the QB room right up to the Georgia game. The new coaching staff should develop at least 3 players as starters. Develop that unrealized potential.......
Then one or 2 of our QB's will enter the portal. All that unrealized potential will play somewhere else.
Such is the state of the QB rooms in college football. But one thing is certain, if Coach Lanning and his staff don't develop the QB's,
we will be looking to the portal again........
Good read, instead of taking the quick and easy solution of the retreads, lets build from the ground up as you suggest with some coaches who can recognize talent and develop it. California has 3,892 high schools and Texas is second with 3,240...lot of kids out there.

I'm ready to play for Kenny Dillingham, problem is my grandkids are just a few years younger than him......he's got a head turning message for recruits.

Didn't realize that Kiff was dating Saban's daughter while working for him and married with 3 little pumpkins at home...did I read that correctly?

I jumped off the Cristobal bandwagon after the Stanford game. The man has more hot air than an international balloon festival.
Cristobal manages a game like he's afraid to lose, and the two humiliating defeats to Utah suggest that he's a very poor motivator.
Cristobal's huckster skills, his only real skills, are of no use during a game. I am delighted that we've foisted Cristóbal on an unsuspecting group of suckers in South Beach.
Hit the nail on the head, had the same feelings.......where's the fire and leadership from the sidelines and it results in under-achieving on the field.

I strongly doubt he kept our young QBs on the bench out of the goodness of his heart.
Gotta prepare for tomorrow at some point.

I was disappointed when Mario accepted the Miami job, but things have changed in life and the loyalty aspect is a thing of the past...it's a just a job. I appreciate Mario's character and that's what makes him a great recruiter, it's impossible to teach it, if you don't possess it yourself.

Neuheisel is the original Weasel and slippery.

Kiffin, a pretty boy, but he can recruit and would look forward to getting a passing attack and putting points on the board.
-
Kiffin can recruit and he knows SoCal....Wilcox never looks happy, Chip hates recruiting and look at his record for the last 4 years.....never been a Kiffin fan, but I think he's the best available.

Thanks for the post Charles. I know he is not a Left Coast guy but I would take a long look at Alabama OC Bill O'Brien. He did an excellent job with the troubled Penn State program. Not a great record in the pros but the NFL affiliation helps with recruiting.
Plus, I love the O Bama runs.
Now, if he could only bring Bryce Young with him?
As we saw when Bama beat UGA, and have seen throughout the course of the playoff, you need a top drawer QB to win a national title.
That would be a winning combo with what's available.

With the Portal you have strangers coming to a new school, new team, new coach and new systems. The old method of good ball players like Bittle coming onboard, bonding with others who have been recruited out of high school, playing together, being coached by a staff and developing into the type of ball players that system was looking for. Now coaches have to juggle being a psychologist, therapist and coach to put something respectable on the floor or field. These portal guys want their minutes, the Ty Thompsons and Bittles are wondering as they warm on hardwood what their future holds. The fun is being taking from college sports!
