Amazing! A recruit to Oregon has got to be awestruck!

Doesn’t matter how well you recruit if you can’t win.

Chargers looked terrible today!

Exactly! Well made point!

Oregon has tremendous facilities. UO is a FUN place to go to school. Eugene is a great town. Recruits get a chance to play with other great players. Phil Knight! Hayward Field! Lotsa eye-popping things to tempt recruits to want to join UO. Gotta admit, though…….Cristobal’s coaching so far……would not be a plus, for me!

Oregon should be “up here”, but…. 4 games that we’ve struggled in a row: fans are frustrated. Sorta like expecting a Mercedes, and getting a used Vega. Those boos are just disappointment and frustration showing. I would imagine the players feel the same way. Not Dye and Thibodeaux, though!

Thanks, Mr FishDuck!

Pluses so far: Great 49 yd field goal by Camden! Dye has been awesome! No injuries! AB completed some passes! J Johnson made a great catch! Devon Williams caught some difficult balls from AB! AND….We’re leading at half! Let’s Go Ducks!!

Not an every down back. Too small…..as is Verdell, and look what happened to him, which was inevitable.

Marcus needs to be traded to a team where he can be the starting QB. He’s making millions while not being subject to injury, but his playing career is passing by. He’s got too much to offer to not play!

He’s done it to me. I’ve seen enough of Cristobal over three years to expect……more of the same: boring, unadventurous, low-quality play and coaching decisions. I’ll record the games and fast-forward through them. Never been so unenthusiastic about our football team in the almost 50 years I’ve been following them. Sure would love it if Cristobal proved me wrong!

I don’t hate Stanford. I hate losing a game that was impossible to lose! Again! !!!

Joshua, couldn’t have said it better myself! You are EXACTLY right! And…….isn’t that EXACTLY what a “coach” is supposed to do: “coach” you to the best performance of your abilities? Without question, Cristobal has had AMPLE time and opportunity to show he can coach up the talent on his team. He has only consistently shown that he has not. Example: look what he did with Herbert…..who went on to become NFL Rookie of the Year. Josh, you hit the nail on the head! Well said! Good job! 0

Nope. Seems to happen every frickin’ year!

Prukop. Costa.

Kidney stone? Gallstone? Appendectomy? Just guessing. Whatever, it is…..sorry to hear it, and wishing him a speedy recovery!

I would think they’d be pretty pissed off! Hope so——might be a great motivating factor!

Exactly! If I was the parent of a 4 or 5 star football player, other than a lineman……. I would not want him to play for Mario……who has not shown he is an above average football coach. If your kid was a wide receiver…… would you want him to play for Mario….where he gets next to zero chance to expand his game? Not me! I’m happy he does, but I don’t know how Mario gets some of these ball-carrying recruits!

Excellent article, Charles! You describe the atmosphere at this longtime Duckfan’s home exactly right! My wife said after last game—-that the Ducks gave away—-“that’s it! I’m not watching the Ducks anymore!” Same with me. I’ll record the next game, but I’m not gonna waste 3-4 hours of my time on this defective commodity anymore. And, I’ve followed the Ducks since the 70’s. When I see a result like last Sat…….I’ve seen it SO many times!…… I say: “typical Ducks”! We don’t want to continue with “typical Ducks”, anymore! We’ve waited long enough to see what Cristobal’s got. And, as Head coach……all he’s shown….consistently, and, based on last Saturday…..embarrassingly….he does not have “it”. If he worked for me, I’d be looking to replace him. And…..I doubt that that thought has not crossed Mullens mind.

I’m tired of waiting for “next year”

A-men, O112!

I concur, Jon. I think we’ve seen enough. I think Cristobal is just a few more underachieving, mismanaged games away from “the Hot Seat”. So far, I would have to say, he has not shown that he has “it”.

I’d have to say they’re tied. And, not for anything good, adequate, or competent. MC IS a great recruiter, but…….sheesh! He is certainly no “offensive genius” or “great game manager”. Seems lost when it comes to “crunch time decisions”.

Looks like Phil Knight is helping recruiting again by creating this NIL project/company: https://sports.yahoo.com/phil-knight-former-nike-execs-183540665.html
