I’m a little surprised that Cal isn’t looking for an offensive minded coach, given how bad they’ve been on that side of the ball under Wilcox.

Good point. Tosh isn’t the best defensive coordinator, IMO, but he is a fantastic recruiter. Coach Lanning has quite a track record with sending d-lineman to the NFL going back to his Georgia days himself and it will be important to find a DL coach who is a great recruiter and developer. I have no doubt that he will be able to find good coaching talent. Hopefully this does not affect our current recruiting commitments.

I would immediately make Hampton the interim DC (as a trial period), while you go through the search process, and let Tosh leave to focus on his new program.

Sorry, as a lifelong Niners fan, “The Catch” was already taken.

I agree with you. Oregon’s Kelly Green and yellow uniforms really pop on the ESPN College Gameday intro. and that color combination is really unique in college football (like the Green Bay Packers). Wish they would use the black more sparingly (once a year).

Anyone else notice Akili Smith Jr. in the uniform reveal video, as they are showing clips of his dad’s TD pass to Patrick Johnson in Seattle? LOL.

I completely disagree. Oregon’s strength of schedule is rated higher than all those teams and our only loss is to #2 Indiana. Coach Lanning does not care about margin of victory. He is perfectly content to put the 3/4s in the 4th quarter or play a low scoring slugfest, if that’s what’s called for.

How is Texas Tech ranked above Oregon?

If you had to choose one, is UCLA or Cal the better job?

If Oregon’s coordinators leave, I hope they are selective. The last thing they need is to end up at a program that doesn’t have the resources to compete. I also don’t see the cultural fit with Stein and Arkansas.

I can’t root for Ohio State. Just can’t.

The B1G schedulers have the four West Coast teams playing one another to finish the last two weeks of the season. Last week: USC at Oregon Washington at UCLA Next week: Oregon at Washington UCLA at USC I would personally rather play our former PAC-10 opponents than travel to the Midwest or Northeast in mid to late November.

I do think Lane could recruit slightly higher caliber players at LSU or Florida than at Ole Miss and, therefore, the odds of winning a national championship should also be higher at those programs but the expectations are exponentially higher. It’ll be interesting to see what Lane decides to do.

I read somewhere that Oregon would face Indiana in the B1G Conference Championship Game, under that scenario. Although it would be great to win back-to-back conference championships, many believe it would be better to rest and heal conference championship weekend before hosting a playoff home game (preferably on the other side of the bracket as Ohio State). All four teams with the extended layoff last year lost in the first round.

I currently live in SEC country and find it amusing that you have 8 SEC programs whose fans/boosters legitimately expect to win the conference and national championship every year. They don’t seem to realize that there is only one champion, you are competing against some really good freakin’ programs with just as talented players and you need everything to fall in place for that to happen.

I know Oregon is deep but I’d prefer not to see all the players playing in key moments…

Nike just doesn’t make shoes like they used to…

What is Stein doing? All the analysts expected a heavy dose of Oregon running backs in the second half and he continues to try to be cute.
