I want a coach that loves being n Eugene. If our money is standing in the way of his politics, he can apply to liberty U. That being said Mr. Lanning looks like a decent fellow and most of us (Native from Eugene) get along with loggers and hippies alike. If it is a problem I would have zero problem with him leaving. You can’t sell Oregon football without selling Eugene.

I think we are being way too critical. It’s not Florece’s responsibility or fault that we (as a culture) continually fall for the “entitlement” narrative. We certainly shouldn’t take our bias out on him. I take his tweet in good faith that he is just friendly.

What a waste of their talent

Please don’t make Georgia West make Oregon with a stout defense.

Say it ain’t so!

The OC hiring process: MC: you have an innovative offense that scores tons of points OC: yes, I would like to keep that going… MC: great! You are hired After the OC is hired: MC: I want you to run the running back through the two largest guys on defense until he is injured OC: Wouldn’t it be better if we ran through the holes? MC: you lack toughness! Scrap your “schemes” and increase the toughness. That’s the process!

Dye will always be a duck to me. A man has to do what is best for his family and he is doing it. May he kick butt unless he plays Oregon!

Again a real difficult issue to solve and without having an expert decipher their financial statements, I can’t make any judgements. It looks to me that football is losing money at 4.8 M/year… but I’m not an expert at deciphering financial statement. I really believe that their is a lot of revenue to be generated by multiple sports (including women’s BB) that the U of O is leaving on the table.

I understand what you are saying, it is a real difficult nut to crack. In the end it will come down to what are we willing to give up in order to save what we can in collegiate sports. It is my belief that non revenue generating sports will have to be cut in order to continue running sports programs at all. I’m just skipping to the end so the U of O can have a competitive advantage in those market spaces.

Of course they don’t want to pay their employees, no employers do. Yes the scholarships is costed out of the athletic department but is just received in the academic department with the employee often graduating with the debt that the scholarship doesn’t cover. What employer doesn’t want their customers and employees paying them. It’s an absolute failure of character in academia that is pervasive in multiple areas not just sports.

You are advocating to a return to football that I have absolutely hated for years. Compensation is how businesses compete with each other for employees. We allow it for every other I employee hired by the school. We are complaining about employees making $50,000/year? They deserve a salary where they can plan for future and plan a family. Further, it is imperative that other sports programs to market their sports programs better in order generate more revenue to the school and athletes. Collegiate sports is worse by restricting the free flow of labor, artificially lowering employees wages, and making employees play in in a bowl game that would lower their potential income. It’s wrong on every level. Give them a wage, benefits, and tuition waver.

Flash Gordon!

Players: let’s make the most of a free economy NCAA: Plants boot firmly on neck of players, that’s my money!

I would be more worried Graham would be coming here as an assistant

Always say Dye! He will always be a duck but he needs to do what is best for him and his family!

I don’t know where Mr Bennett has worked in his life but place that has distractions, unnecessary hardship, or doesn’t pay their employees fail to produce the best results. The only reason the NCAA works is a cartel that would be legal under any other circumstance not named DeBeers.

If a company doesn’t pay their employees and robs them of profiting off their name and likeness, does the company deserve to live?

The playoffs should expand to 8 or 16, not 12.

He is worried about being out bid and recruiting coaches will matter less than coaches that can coach. He should be worried. The whole point of compensation is so new employers can lure employees away from their current employer. Artificially deflating employees wage through the corrupt use of a cartel is illegal. The only reason the NCAA was allowed to do it before was relabeling employees, “student athletes”

Oregon should really leverage their sports marketing business program to maximize both their employees exposure as well as the school’s. This benefit employees across the entire sports program women’s and men’s programs alike.

there always was have and have nots, it has always been pay for play for everyone in football except players, and restricting the movement of labor is unethical. The term “student athletes” was specifically created to get around all labor laws. Each and everyone of these employees can get their neck broke in the normal routine of their job and you don’t want them to be paid, own their own likeness, and not be able to move to another job if a employer mistreats them? this is relevant klemm is coming and if he is as awful as the lawsuit makes him out to be, I want out players to be able to escape an abusive situation.

I don’t see a problem with it. An employee should be able to quit and restart another job at any time. But it should be acknowledged that the players are employees.

He gets fired

Nice to see the the laborers and risk takers starting to get paid instead of just expert salesmen.

That’s a lot for a recruiter, any acumen on player development and a defense coordinator?
