[Lanning Closing In on a Running Backs Coach...]

They should have this guy in the weight room too. You could fit two A. Felds in his shirt

[Even a Bad Bo is a Good Sign For our Ducks!]

First post for me here. I've been a Eugene resident and Duck fan since 1987. Also paid the UO lots of coin to educate two kids. I appreciate the Fishduck forum and the articles that have been published over the years. 

Two things strike me about the Bo Nix transfer.  His relationship with the new OC and experience may not quite rank up there with Joe Burrow to LSU, and his metrics may look only so-so on the surface, but he has won some big games and the potential is certainly there. Second, the last two times Oregon had freshman/redshirt freshman QBs waiting in the wings that were elevated to the starting job, they were identified early. The first precipitated the exit of a QB that took the Ducks to the National Championship game and the first Rose Bowl victory in decades, then went on to another Championship final, a Heisman trophy and a top 2 NFL draft pick. The second got thrown to the lions and took over a rebuilding team, ultimately won a Rose Bowl, got drafted high in the first round and became the NFL offensive ROTY. My impression is that the young 4/5☆ QBs aren't of the same caliber and the new coaching staff knows that. Maybe they hope the competition will drive one to emerge as the next great Oregon QB. Overall I see it as a smart move.
