Nope- don't see him going to TAMU. Then again in this crazy world of college football ........
-
I would not be surprised to see Chip end up in the NFL as an OC.
Like we have all said and agree, he hates recruiting and hates glad handing with boosters. Those are essential elements to being a head coach in the college game now. Look how good Dan is at both. And to be more candid, Mario was not great with boosters either. He could be aloof and a little too surly.
I just don't get that segment of the fan base that wants Chip back. I certainly liked him and totally appreciated what he did but he is no longer a fit at Oregon. Just my opinion.

I was told this issue has been more than emphasized and discussed this week in practice.
-
This might seal Smith's decision to look elsewhere.
-
No Mario lack of preparation either.
Speaking of which, it's interesting to listen to Mario's pressers at Miami. They are verbatim what he used to say here. 'Impose our will at the LOS', 'physicality', 'control the clock' ...... All the same drivel and basically the same results.
Okay back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Hayward- you point out something that I have noticed the last two years. A LOT less trash talking from the DUCKS under Lanning than when Mr. Miami ran the show. It used to drive me nuts. But then again I should remember MC was the person who berated Kris Hutson on national TV. I guess Mario never heard the old moniker 'praise publicly, criticize privately'.

He and Dan are very good friends so I would expect that he we would be very effusive in his praise of Oregon.

Might Moore, should he want to transfer, choose ASU and reunite with KD? Just wondering. ASU is starting to show some life.
They have Jayden Rashada who will likely play this weekend.

Chip Kelly is washed up. He will always be a sub .500 coach. No serious program will hire him. His best bet is a mountain west program.
Actually I think he opts for an NFL OC gig. He hates to recruit.

And he did a masterful job of throwing shade at his predecessors.
He clearly knew he was going to be asked and he thought about his answer in advance. It was very telling that he let the question be asked as opposed to opening the presser by saying something like 'let me address the issue on everyone's mind ....'. He very cleverly opened up talking about the game and then when the question came he took it head on.
Very well done.

A&M fans/boosters are known to be demanding and have very high expectations. They are always in immediately, now mode. They won't be patient.
They fail to see that program needs a complete overhaul culturally. They thought Jimbo could do that and he unfortunately failed. The coach there basically reports to a handful of boosters and the AD is merely a figure head.

Thanks Charles for posting. Was not sure about the rules on posting stuff from behind pay walls.
I have heard Dan will shut it down tonight at this presser.
-
Behind a pay wall, John Canzano posted his weekly mailbag10 mins ago and yes, the big questions were about Dan and TAMU. John said he does not think Dan is going anywhere. He commented that he thinks Dan has clearly seen what has transpired with his predecessors who left. He also said he believes Dan realizes he is sitting in one of the best jobs in college football and wants stability for his family.
John also said he thinks Dan will address it tonight in his presser.
-
Dan's agent is Jimmy Sexton. Jimmy is very good at playing this game because it means more $$$$$$ for Jimmy.
On a separate note, Dan's presser is tonight @ 6:45. I am guessing someone will asking him (looking at you James Crepea)
That's how the Auburn thing was handled.
-
Maybe it's just me, but I just don't get the hype that Gameday gets. I've said it before, I think the the formula is old and tired. I get the students like it but other than that I just don't don't see the big deal. I honestly think they added McAfee because they knew it was getting stale and I'm not sure that he adds anything more than bluster. My $.02 opinion.

All Dan has to do is ask Marshall Malchow about life at TAMU. There's many reasons why Malchow left and I'm sure Dan has some pretty good insights already.
If Jeff Traylor gets that job then maybe Stein makes a lateral move and goes back to Texas but it's also a pretty major rebuild there and that fan base or as one of my Texas friends calls it, 'that cult' is not patient. Jimbo had a good thing going at FSU and jumped for money. Look at what that got him.
As Dan says, the grass is damn green in Eugene. Hope he continues to think that.

I find it interesting that neither Canzano or Crepea have weighed in on this yet. As I said in a previous post I will not be surprised if Crepea asks Dan at his presser tomorrow night.

You gotta admit the 'Wario' moniker is epic though

Speaking of penalties, later in the game USC was penalized for mimicking OBD's offensive calls. Was that part of the OL's issues in the game? Ponderings on a Sunday morning...
I wondered that as well.

Whew- those canes fans are one salty bunch.

I am sure Crepea will be more than happy to ask Dan about it tomorrow night at his presser.

Something to remember, Dan's chief of staff, Marshal Malchow came to UO from aTm. There's a reason he left, it's a toxic environment.

Unless it becomes a distraction for the team. He could, of course, address that internally within the team and not publicly. Hard to imagine sharing something that significant with 80-something college-age kids and expect them to keep it confidential, however.
We've been burned before by coach-speak about Oregon being a great place to be, then bolting as soon as something else comes along. It feels different with DL, and I want to believe it is different. Time will tell.
He may address it privately with the team and they are pretty well schooled on what's for public consumption. The internal media people at UO keep a good handle on things.

Not to hijack this thread and the excellent article by Charles as well as this great discussion in any way ,but JC loves to position himself as a man of the people. He loves the OS (poor us) narrative because he feels like he is advocating for the 'common man'. John has never gotten over the fact that Chip Kelly publicly called him out when the Willy Lyles stuff was going on .
John is in the entertainment business and he knows it. The OS narrative fits him perfectly. I find him amusing to observe. He has certainly tried to ingratiate himself with Dan and does his best to come off like he is one of Dan's confidantes. He is not.
