Posted November 18, 20213 yr Administrator I sure did not think of this...but all from one coach? Naw.... Mr. FishDuck
November 18, 20213 yr Moderator Well, first Chip was in charge, then Oregon retreated for a couple of years, and the Puppies scampered around. But all is right again, Oregon is back on top, and that was it all it took for Chris P to high tail it out at Washington, The rest of the Coaches are tired of looking UP at Oregon and Mario, they wouldn't mind going somewhere else.
November 18, 20213 yr I don't think that's because of Cristobal. Tucker and Leach left for better jobs, Helton, Sumlin, and Lake simply underwhelmed in general.
November 18, 20213 yr I did talk about how Cristobal was reshaping the conference in my article last week. Though I didn't go through all the turnover, but the more recent coaching turnover and the bigger question that every program looking to hire a new head coach has to answer... "can they beat Oregon on the recruiting trail and on the field?"

"can they beat Oregon on the recruiting trail and on the field?" Loved the article. But if recruiting rankings define a conference, other than for Oregon, the Pac-12 is reshaping itself in the image of the Mountain West. The 2021 champion of the Pac-12 S should rightfully be BYU. If not BYU, it should be San Diego State. Or possibly, Fresno? And this was the season when the S was going to be deeper and better than the Pac-12 N. Utah lost at BYU and SDS. ASU also lost to BYU and is an undisciplined mess. UCLA beats LSU at home but takes the L vs Fresno? SC is at an all time low. WA ST loses at home to BYU and Utah State. UW? 3 Pac-12 HCs have been dismissed in-season. Has this ever happened before in a P5 conference? Oregon with a game manager QB and a very young roster has overachieved to date. But without the W in Columbus, where would a 2L Oregon be ranked? The other team ranked in the Pac-12, Utah, loses Saturday and is out of the top 25. If Utah wins the Utes stay in the top 25 but the Pac-12 is out of the PO and out $6M. Looking at the recruiting rankings for 2022, what team(s) in the conference other than Oregon, are poised to make a move and be a national contender? What returning QB will put up Heisman-like numbers? Will the conference finish better than .500 OOC? GO DUCKS. But the Ducks need better partners, period.

November 18, 20213 yr @Charles Fischeryour cat fascination may get the wrong reaction from some Ducks. Edited November 19, 20213 yr by Duck1984
