So if Oregon had a culture problem then I guess its safe to assume USC is okay with pistol whipping and evading the police. Got it now.

Dan specifically addressed the KC thing in multiple interviews. He said at one time that was his goal. Now he says it is not. He said his vision has changed. Do we believe him? I am going with yes on this one given he has been pretty honest to date.

Disliked Taggart big time, but disliked Mario even more. Mario straight up lied to Mullens and Phil when they asked him if he was talking to Miami. He bold faced denied it. Funny thing, he started talking to John Ruiz on the flight back from Columbus when Oregon beat Ohio State in Columbus. So the net is Mario was laying the ground work to go to Miami in October of that year yet when ‘asked’ about it before Oregon lost to Utah in the P12 championship, he said he had not discussed anything with Miami. That was on a Friday, on Monday he called an 8:30 am team meeting and announced he was leaving. In talking with a couple of guys who played for Mario, they said there ‘was absolutely no team culture’ and when Mario talked about the family environment, players again said it didn't exist. One of those same players said Mario never once had the team to his home. Have had a chance to meet and talk with some current players and all have said Lanning has the team to his home all the time and we know Bo was a regular at Dans house. All describe Dan as being ‘real’. Never heard that about Mario.

Someone with close ties to the Helfrich coached teams told me the players had zero respect for Helfrich and that he was totally out of touch with them. There was a lot of infighting on the team and there were a couple of situations involving racial matters. The net was Helfrich lost the locker room very early on and was never able to get it back. I personally don't have strong feeling either way about him but he was never a long term fit at Oregon.

At Autzen????

Agree but BYU offered more $$$$. Parents both attended BYU. Sister currently attends BYU. He is going to take a mission so will not be at BYU till 2028.

Never trusted Mario when he was at Oregon and I have no idea what his involvement may be here, but there is much to ponder.🤔

This serves a great opportunity to invoke the famous Mark Twain axiom, ‘better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt’.

Reading some of the Miami messages boards, many fans think he wore out his welcome with Mario.

This is all very interesting as there seems to be some ‘whispers’ that when all is said and done Bowman flips to Georgia.

The 'word' is Miaimi opened the purse. Rumor is $2million first year

This seems to be the concensus and according to some Mom had the most influence.

I get a headache listening to him🤯

A considerable amount of what he says is valid. It's just wading through all the self aggrandizement that is hard at times.

I think this pretty much seals the deal. No? CFB analyst praises Oregon's Dan Lanning for not letting Nico Iamaleava's camp abuse their power APPLE.NEWS Dan Lanning seems to be the reason for the start of Nico Iamaleava's ending on Rocky Top, giving him...

And we could have had Justin Wilcox.....😉

I would not be surprised if Mario went after him. Dan's 'BS' and 'me' acumen is very high. When Dan took over from Mario it took him about a month to figure who was real and who wasn't.

Did Mario's babysitter Aaron Feld move to UW?

Not to derail this thread and expanding on Charles' comment above. The article referenced is from a content management service. The service, Essentially Sports is owned by Full Spectrum which is a digital product company based in India. Their primary business is Web and Application development and Digital Marketing. The author of the article is not one of the usual 'DUCKS beat' writers. What these content services do is scour the web for articles, take them and put a spin on them that will cause people to click on them, hence they become 'click bait'. The net here is there are things in the article for discussion but the author sensationalized it to get all of us to read it. I find myself looking at these articles and seeing who wrote them and if it's not one of the usual DUCK beat writers, I pass.

Hope Beck has been practicing his handoffs because we know Mario's penchant for those runs up the middle to show their physicality.

Best USC does cancel. Never a good look when there's less than 1500 people in the coliseum

I just wish we could change the byline on the thread. Maybe it could read -Rumors on social media saying Texas MAY be interested in Rashad Samples.

Dan had to be a bit conflicted yesterday as we know he's a Chief's fan but that Philly defense has lots of his '21 Georgia guys on it.

Isn't it amazing how much time and energy Husky fans spend on Oregon???? Sort of like they are envious or something. I dunno.😏
