EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 1 Share Posted February 9 Reports: Oregon WR coach Junior Adams expected to take position with Dallas Cowboys Well, this one hurts as the development in the WR room and his recruiting has been stellar. Hope DL has had enough time to pull a couple of decent candidates out of the rolodex. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted February 9 This really hurts, as he is an elite recruiter. Thank goodness he has stacked the WR room for us before leaving! 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 3 Share Posted February 9 Does this hurt, yes. Is this surprising? Not really in truth. Last year I made a forum post on how Adams only got a one year contract extension. I thought that was a little odd at the time but I think Adams has had an eye to move on at some point and I don't think either party wanted a big contract tieing them down. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastBayDuckDad Author Moderator No. 4 Share Posted February 9 Unfortunately tOSU has a couple days jump on OBD as they are in the market for a new WR coach after elevating Hartline to OC. Odd to think that two of the best WR rooms in the country are looking for coaches. I would imagine that Dallas was looking at Adams at the same time they were talking to Samples about the RB job and that DL was aware. Have to trust DL has prepared and has a name or two in mind. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastBayDuckDad Author Moderator No. 5 Share Posted February 9 At least Bucknutt didn't pilfer Adams as their new WR coach. Like OBD did from Fusky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 6 Share Posted February 9 Is the WR room better in Dallas or Eugene? Another good call by David Marsh on Oregon going small with Adams's contract extension. With the House settlement and direct payment of $20.5M a year pending () I expect assistant coach salaries will take a hit. Several athletic departments have made it known that the House settlement will lead to varsity sports being cut. The Big Boy CFB and CBB programs are nuts to allow House to burn down their house. Good luck coach and thanks for a terrific Ducks tour of duty. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirklandduck Moderator No. 8 Share Posted February 10 This one hurts. Not only is he an elite recruiter but an excellent developer of players. I thought he would be next up for OC if Will Stein left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashDuck No. 9 Share Posted February 10 Does it though? Take away Tez and our receivers are really average. Take away portal receivers and they stink on ice. Lanning will upgrade with a recruiter and developer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

30Duck Moderator No. 14 Share Posted February 10 It's great that the Ducks can look to bring in either a WR or RB coach depending on which hat Samples wears next season, the two SEC coaches at the top of the list in the DucksWire article jump out to me.

Honestly when I think about it, moving Samples to WR coach/Co-OC is probably one of (if not the) reasons he stayed in Eugene. DL and the brass would have been fully aware that both he and Junior Adams were interviewing with the Cowboys and this is how it played out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
