Today marks the first of the early signing day period, but nothing hangs heavier on Oregon football’s future than the potential loss of both coordinators to head coaching jobs. Now, if there’s anything the Ducks have learned to deal with this season, it’s adversity. Our Oregon football program has been dealing with injuries all season, and forced to step up ...

Will The Coaching Carousel Kill Oregon’s CFP Chances?

Thanks Alex, your article today has to be on the minds of every Duck fan. For me, knowing how much time both Will Stein and Tosh Lupoi have spent with Dan Lanning, I'm not as worried as I was when Slick Willy and Mari-no-O bailed on the Ducks.

The culture that Coach Lanning has built is an important factor in my thinking. Both of these gentlemen have contributed to the making of the culture. Both have spent hours and hours with Dan coaching, recruiting, and being together. I believe that shared mission has cemented their minds to finish what they have created.

I believe in Dan Lanning. The extra work he did for Oregon did not prevent him from coaching Georgia to a National Championship as their Defensive Coordinator. I have faith that Will and Tosh are made of the same mindset.

Go Ducks!

Alex, i guess we will have an answer later this month.

DL is the anchor for the program and the players know this. He replaced Dilly with Stein. He will find a great replacement for Stein. I expect a great replacement for Tosh, also!

I am not certain that this won't be a distraction, however, on Sunday, once the brackets are set I am confident that all focus will be on OBD's first round opponent. Business as usual? Win the next game!

My concern is recruiting! How will the recruits react if Will and Tosh were one of the reasons they were coming to Oregon?

Going to be a crazy 45 days for the players, future players, coaches, future coaches and their families.

And us fans!
