This would be a great addition. Hope coaches can make Oregon his landing spot!

That is what I was thinking as well.

Hi Charles, You are correct, you stand by your conviction. It's because of those convictions helped kept this site safe, insightful, engaging and successful! Love reading all the contributions everyone has presented to this site. Without those convictions this sight would not be what it is today. Thanks Charles

STOKED!!

Agree, so glad we got Jahill. Hoping coach L can pull off more surprises with the other 4.

YES!!, agree!

One mistake the PAC12 made was not to expand to more teams when they had the opportunity. Let's hope this will not be mistake number 2. PAC12 needs to follow BIG10 in this. Two fold: 1. Eliminate Divisions 2. Cut down number of conference games from 9 to 8.

Rivals predicts Oregon will land both 247Sports five star offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. and consensus four-star offensive/defensive lineman Dave Luli. Link to story below by Andrew Nemec. Though, like Nemec says "In other words, Rivals’ predictions are a good sign for Oregon, but those commitments are far from locks."

Awesome! Thanks Charles!

Great News!! So glad he is returning.

This is so confusing to me as to "What in the World is he Thinking?" Wish he made this decision before Benson decided to leave. Maybe Benson would have stayed. I can not figure out why so many players think transfer portal is such a great idea? Here's hoping maybe coach L can pull a great running back from the portal (maybe the two running backs from Stanford?).

Really sadden over Benson leaving ☹️. I think do to injuries he never was able to get a good footing in showing what he can do. I agree with Dye that Benson was going to be one of Oregon's best RBs. Sorry to see that so many players think the transfer portal is going to give them greener pastures. Sadden to see so many might get lost in the portal and never find a landing spot. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Let's hope coach L is able to get great players needed through the portal and recruits by the Feb. time period. Looking forward to the new coaching staff bringing bright future for Oregon. Go Ducks!!

Thank you Charles, I agree with you and others on this matter. Thank you for this open letter to Coach Lanning. Coach Lanning, You will find that Duck fans are fanatical and loyal. All we ask is to be open and honest with us. We know all things take time to implement your plans. We stand behind you in fan support to see your plans to come into fruition. We love your DEFENSE at Georgia! It was fun to see what Georgia's defense did in dismantling Michigan's offense. As Charles mentioned, please bring the high octane offense back to Oregon! Best wishes to you and the Georgia Bull Dogs in the NC game against Alabama this year! We are excited to see what you and staff are able to do on the recruiting trail/transfer portal, but importantly on the Xs and Os, game management and player development. Welcome aboard Coach Lanning. Go Ducks!

Hi David, Thank you for the article. I agree, need to move on. I guess to me the saddest part of this was not having enough time for the new coaching staff to come onboard to help secure most of the incoming recruiting class. Here's hoping for a favorable turn around before the Feb. deadline. Looking forward to a bright future with the new coaching staff and the potential they will bring to the table in all facets of the football program. Hopefully making Oregon a powerhouse not only in the PAC12, but future NC potential. Again, here's to the new coaching staff, players and a fanatical fanbase that will make a winning combination toward future endeavors! Thanks all! This forum/site has been and will always be such a great blessing!! This is due to the many members giving their time, effort, intelligence and for the love of the game with a safe environment that makes this place FIRST CLASS!! GO DUCKS!! and HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!

Hopefully will see the one we hope to see which is at QB position sometime in the game. There is an audio pod you can listen to as well. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/lists/9-oregon-ducks-with-biggest-chance-to-make-a-name-for-themselves-in-alamo-bowl/

Here is the thread on the questions and answers from McClendon and Stoops: It seems McClendon is playing down the amount of missing players.

I guess what was alarming is seeing some using the transfer portal and seeing the recruits pulling away. Such bad timing MC leaving having no time to hold on to the recruits before signing day. Plus we are losing so many of the coaches that could have helped kept this recruiting class together. Frustrating. Will need one heck of a coaching staff that can recruit like MC did, but better Xs and Os with good game management. According to what Canzano it seems Rob has a wider group of donors involved in the next hiring. Here is the article:

Maybe what we should have done was create a respectful petition for all Oregon fans to put their name on with a list of coaches we think they should consider. Maybe this is unrealistic to even produce.

Not happy with those selection. What is going on in the minds of those in charge finding a coach? This can't be happening that they would settle on these three. This is not the way to go. Talk about aiming too low. If this is what Mullens and the like are thinking, it's time to get a new AD.

We are losing recruits as well as players thru the transfer portal. He is wasting time interviewing Sitake, Wilcox and asking permission to interview Kelly. Seriously! As far as I am concern these are not the coaches to go after. This can't be the best Oregon can do attracting coaches.

I do not understand this list or where they got this list from. I am not sure why they would even consider the coaches on this list as the top choices. There are better choices out there. In my opinion this will not go well for the future of the Oregon program with these choices.

I think Rhule is a good candidate. But, how long can we wait before our whole recruiting class blows up. Understand MC leaving, but bad timing for Oregon.

Lane Kiffin would be my choice. Don't go Chip Kelly, Justin Wilcox, or Kilani Sitake. We need someone who can recruit and with great Xs and Os, game management. Rob Mullens better not mess this up. There are other coaches out there that would be a great fit.

Surely Oregon can do better then this. The only one that might be someone to possibly consider on that list would be Joe Brady.

This is where I am greatly disappointed in MC leaving with only what, a week left for signing day? This is going to be a mess. Thanks MC for the timing of your departure. This is going to hurt Oregon badly in recruiting. How is Oregon going to be able to hold this recruiting class when the recruits don't even know who the next coach and staff will be? Sorry, I do have to get over my disappointment and hope those in charge makes the next search correctly. Go Ducks!
