latracey No. 1 Share Posted November 14, 2021 While some of Oregon's assistant coaches may be lured away in the off season, I'm guessing Mario is going to remain as Oregon's head coach as Mullins and company have sweetened his deal with a 4.5 million dollar 1 year contract extension. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
latracey Author No. 2 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) It's too bad JoMo's deal can't also be sweeter. I fear he will be gone for one of the available head coaching jobs after this season. The job he has done maximizing the potential of the players he has at his disposal is pretty impressive. He's definitely in an elite category of great football minds. It begs the question: Who would you like to see Oregon go after if/when JoMo leaves? Edited November 14, 2021 by latracey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyToBeADuck No. 3 Share Posted November 14, 2021 We can all feel confident that multiple schools, including those with academic prowess, will be trying to raid the Duck coaching cookie jar. It's inevitable. The end result of success. Saban deals with this annually. MC has already experienced this My concern is a one year automatic extension is just a formality. When and if MC and his staff 3-peat, he best end up being the highest paid coach in the P12. Why? Because other schools will have no qualms making him the highest paid coach in their league. Let's sort that out after we have 5 more 1-0 seasons this year...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, A coach is worth whatever a school will pay him. I believe that Mario really likes it at Oregon, and wants to finish what he's started. But if the other schools offer $$$ to get him, I don't expect him to tell them, "Nah, I'm good" if he isn't even the highest paid coach in the Pac-12.

Jon Joseph No. 5 Share Posted November 14, 2021 That's a good start but many schools may be looking at Mario? Florida for one can throw a lot more than $4.5M Mario's way. Is the buy out the same? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 6 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I have also heard a rumor that Cristobal may be moving his mom to Eugene. If that happens then we all know for sure he is here for the long haul. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many HC dominoes to fall and after Florida's sorry effort yesterday UF could be one of the dominoes? ASU won at UW yesterday but is Herm's job safe?

The bigger question for Herm is the long, slow, and painful process of NCAA investigations into him and ASU about recruits on campus during the Covid Dead Period.

Haywarduck Moderator No. 9 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I want Mario to stay and when he looks at Chip and sees where slick is, the money might not be everything to the guy. When you chase money, you end up with money, but as long as your ultimate goal is within sight, why leave? I tend to think he is a straight up guy and wants to bring a title to Oregon. Just my take, but you also don't want to disappoint Uncle Phil. I can't imagine slick is on the top of his call back list. When you talk about power brokers in the sports world, our benefactor is way up there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
