The Oregon Ducks didn’t have to look far when searching for their next offensive and defensive coordinators. CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported Chris Hampton will

I trust coach Lanning but I will admit that I was hoping to get coordinators with current multi-year proven track records of play calling success for both of the new coordinator positions. It feels good to promote from within until you find out they were not ready for the new position.

Oregon is a top 10 program with the goal of a national title. Our new coaches will be going up against more experienced play callers next year while attempting to win that elusive national championship. Hopefully, his coaching hires work out again for Coach Lanning and OBD.

I believe both Hampton and Mehringer worked games from the booth. Unless a person was listening in on the game conversation between the coaches, one doesn’t really know who was making the calls. Both of these coaches were titled “co-coordinator” for a reason. Possibly the die was cast for them to have the inside track for their new jobs some time ago.

I am 90% positive that was the case for Hampton. Come to Oregon as the co-DC to become THE DC when Lupoi leaves.

For Mehringer I am sure that was potentially part of the deal with bringing in Stein. He wasn't ready when Dilly left but he is probably ready now.

I'll trust Lanning... Because what else am I going to do? Sit here and be mad about it? I'll probably just be proven wrong.

I would also like to point out that a lot of people weren't too keen on Stein, a young up and comer from a G6 team... But he turned out pretty good.

I'm non plussed by Drew.

It's like your best friend that every chick would die to be their girlfriend and instead he picks a girl that leaves a lot to be desired. You could have anybody! Why them?

I hope to be proven wrong with Drew being successful, but I'm not feeling great about this.
