I didn't realize that Jurrion grew up with Troy Franklin. That would be a great mentor to have as you enter college. Hope Oregon can keep Junior Adams. He has done a fantastic job with the wide receivers and sounds like he has a great relationship with Jurrion.

I personally believe that Rob Mullens has done a great job as AD of the University of Oregon and has represented the University well on the national stage. Glad that we have him as we face the uncertainty surrounding conference realignment and media deals.

I wish I shared your optimism the “day after” but as others have pointed out I am concerned with our coach’s in-game decision making/not learning from his previous mistakes, a defense that has not shown improvement, the uncertainty surrounding conference alignment/TV payouts, the apparent rise of other programs out West, losing our OC after 1 year and the potential recruiting fall out. What would Oregon’s record have been this year, if Bo Nix did not decide to transfer to Oregon? My guess is that we would have been 4-7: Georgia – L Eastern Washington – W BYU – L WSU – L Stanford – W Arizona – W UCLA – L California – W Washington - L Utah - L OSU - L Bo Nix covered up a lot of issues within the Oregon program that only became apparent to all once he was injured. I am flabbergasted that Oregon could not field a better defense or one that at least improved as the year went along. USC ended the season with a better PPG against than Oregon! I'm not suggesting that Lanning be fired but he has a lot of questions to answer as he enters year 2. I would be surprised if he had 4-5 years, as some have mentioned, due to PK's desire to win now. [Perhaps losing to both Washington and Oregon State to finish the year is just going to take some time to get over...]

LOL. If the goal is to win a national championship, Urban Meyer. He has won everywhere he has been and reportedly has a close relationship with Phil. Perhaps he would relish the challenge. Just have the Oregon Governor ban clubs within 100 miles of Eugene and hire someone good in compliance with veto power to follow him around and watch over his shoulder...

Joe Brady would be a no brainer but I wonder how he would feel about working for a younger head coach. Not too long ago his name was being thrown around for some big time jobs. I would prefer to see Oregon hire someone with previous OC experience, even if he is from a smaller school.

LOL. It sounds like you have plenty to write about... I look forward to reading your articles.

Below are some of the names from the Oregon 2021 coaching search (in no particular order): Luke Fickell, Cinci Kalani Sitake, BYU Chris Peterson Dave Aranda, Baylor Urban Meyer All of the names above are proven HCs.

Great hire. Surprised that Fickell would take the Wisconsin job with the other potential options he likely had.

I didn't realize that about Adams. Shouldn't that red flag been considered with the Tosh hiring or was his recruiting ability worth the risk?

I couldn't stand Stanford's slow read-option offensive this year. It was painful to watch. Shaw seems like a great guy but no thank you. It would be great for the Pac-12 to hire him into some role. He has been a great ambassador for the conference.

I was shocked that Oregon hired Lanning. It might work out in the long-run but as the article mentioned Phil Knight is 84 and wants to win now. Surprised that UO didn't pony up for a proven HC that could win NOW.

Isn't Ty from Arizona?

Will Stein, co-offensive coordinator and QB coach at UTSA, may be an off the radar name to keep an eye on. UTSA's offensive looks similar to what Oregon ran this year and UTSA ranked in the top 10 for points per possession, which we know is a stat important to Lanning. UTSA's QB may have one more year of eligibility remaining. Stein played QB for Louisville from 2008-12. This offense would be a great fit for Moore, IMHO.

Congrats to Dante Moore and the Detroit Kings for repeating as Michigan high school football champions. Moore had an excellent game, completing 21-of-26 (80.8%) for 275 yards with four TD passes and added another 207 yards rushing on 13 carries (529 total yards)! He sure sounds like he is still solid on the Ducks in his post game interview and twitter posts.

At the end of the day it didn't matter how strong the conference was, Oregon had a chance to compete for the Pac-12 conference title and much more and just didn't get it done when it mattered the most - losing 2 of its final 3 games.

The problem is that he didn’t learn from the Washington game.

I hope that the Oregon AD does the right thing and holds off on giving Dan Lanning a big raise. I hope the media grills him about his decisions.

Honest question for you - How long can one blame the former coach before the current one takes accountability?

I am starting to have my doubts about Coach Lanning.

Lanning might have just lost the game for Oregon. Guess he didn’t learn a thing from the UW game.

Special Teams coach needs to be fired after this game.

This is embarrassing

Oregon is trying to give this game away.

Oregon’s defense must have taken the early bus back to Eugene. Why are we playing cover-2 against a Beavers team who is limited in the passing game?

Terrible "special teams."
