Coaching "Cream" Will Rise to the Top

Featured Replies

No.

Bit of a random idea, but thought I'd get it out there before I forget.

With NIL / Transfer portal, I believe that college football will start to look more like the NFL. It will be a challenge for 4-5 teams to hoard all the talent like in years past. I believe parity in college football will continue to rise among the stronger brands/conferences/schools.

Increased parity in talent will necessitate an emphasis on premium coaching. Programs with the elite X's/O's coaches will make all the difference in the world.

We see this play out in the NFL where a highly-touted QB coming out of college gets drafted by one of the worst organizations, and by association the worst coaches, etc., struggle to start . . . THEN, if they get a 2nd chance and end up with a quality HC/OC, they have a resurgence.

I think Oregon is in a great spot. DL seems to be good enough at Xs/Os himself, but even better at finding elite Xs/Os coordinators.

What do you think of my theory? How well is Oregon positioned relative to other programs?
