    2024 Big Ten football head coach rankings from 1 to 18: With no Jim Harbaugh, Ryan Day claims top spot

     

    For the uninitiated, these lists are totally subjective. This is meant to be a fun exercise, but it’s my rankings.

     

    While career achievements are taken into account, college football has become a sport that’s constantly changing, so recent performance (wins, recruiting, working the transfer portal, hiring assistants, producing NFL Draft picks, etc) is weighed much more heavily than what you’ve done in the past. 

     

    Entering the 224 season, the Big Ten head coach rankings look considerably different than they did just one year ago. There’s no Jim Harbaugh or Pat Fitzgerald. Hello, Pac-12 compadres Lincoln Riley, Dan Lanning, Jedd Fisch and DeShaun Foster. And where do you rank Sherrone Moore or Jonathan Smith?

     

    There’s plenty to debate. Let’s dive in.

    With Jim Harbaugh off to the NFL, Ryan Day is now the Big Ten’s top head coach. But how do the rest of the 2024 rankings flesh out?

     

     

    Dan Lanning, Oregon Football make a great staff investment in Junior Adams

     

    Oregon Football has been on Spring break, but Dan Lanning's staff made another announcement by extending WR coach Junior Adams through 2026. The move solidifies Adams' place on staff and will help Oregon churn out high level talent at the position. On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin goes on to share thoughts about the unique transfer situation of Alabama OT Kadyn Proctor. Plus, a look at Oregon Men's Basketball after falling in double overtime to Creighton in the Round of 32.

     

     

     

    Ranking Oregon's incoming transfers by expected impact in 2024 season

     

    While the past week has been filled with a lot of basketball content while Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks finished up the winter quarter and went through final exams ahead of spring break, it’s now time to dive back into the world of college football. 

     

    While the Ducks remain away on spring break this week, they will soon return to campus and resume spring football throughout the month of April, leading up to the annual spring game on April 27th.

     

    The return of practices should also bring the arrival of several transfers who we expect to join the team for the new quarter, including Jabbar Muhammad, Evan Stewart, and Brandon Johnson.

    Multiple Ducks committed to running it back next season, but a few remain uncertain of their future at Oregon

    Starters like Jackson Shelstad and Jadrian Tracey are committed to returning to Oregon, but other Ducks remain up in the air.

    Dana Altman, N'Faly Dante, and Jadrian Tracey talk end-of-season loss in NCAA Tournament

     

    Following a tough 86-73 loss in the NCAA Tournament's second round to No. 3 seed Creighton in double-overtime, Oregon head coach Dana Altman, senior N'Faly Dante, and junior Jadrian Tracey spoke with the media about the loss and how their season was turned around late to make the NCAA Tournament.

     

     

     

    I need to say I am very proud of this team in what they had accomplished in spite of the adversities they faced this year.  Sadden to see Jackson Shelstad going down with a knee injury late in the game.

     

    The Oregon Ducks had the makings of a team that could really make some noise in March. 

     

    They had the shooting guard who reached flamethrower status, and the dominant center who was putting up double-doubles at ease. They were severely under-seeded thanks to a lackluster regular season that was plagued with injuries. They got hot and quickly became the team that nobody wanted to see in their quadrant of the NCAA Tournament bracket. 

     

    They had the look of a team that not only could turn heads in the round of 32 and Sweet 16, but potentially dance deeper into the tournament, threatening for a spot in Elite 8.

     

    What they didn’t have, though, was support.

     

    Oregon’s magical run got unceremoniously cut short on Saturday night after what was quite possibly their most impressive game of the year. If you didn’t stay up until 1 a.m. on the East Coast, you’ll see a box score that reads 86-73, Creighton, in double-overtime. If you did stay up, though, then you witnessed two of the best performances from Oregon players in program history. 

     

    N’Faly Dante and Jermaine Couisnard were special, combining for 60 of the team’s 73 points, and all but two of the Ducks’ points from halftime to the final whistle. 

     

    The rest of the team? Different story. 

     

    It left Oregon just short of an historic win, and much heartbreak at the end of the season. Here are some of our biggest takeaways from the night as a whole:
