Jemangi No. 6 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I agree with Jon Joseph.. Hire an Oregon man, Justin Wilcox. No more snakes and turtles from FL part of the world needed! Pretty simple out here in the real world.. you either do as you say or you are a liar. Give Mario until 3 pm today and then pull the offer. He will either stay out of respect to himself or he will follow the snake, As I've said, we are bout to see who Mario really is!! Oregon wil survive.. We would not be losing Nick Saban lol Mullens, you hired him, you know him, for yours and our sake I hope you are on top of this! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywarduck Moderator No. 9 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Agree with the Wilcox hire, go all in on Oregon! Hiring Chip could never live up to the expectations, never. Chip was like one of those moments you try and recreate, but it was just a moment, can't be recreated. We shouldn't live in the past, move forward! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What coach have we hired who wasn't mediocre or unproven? Wilcox improved the Cal program until last year after we stole his DC. He can win and imagine what he would do with support, something he has little of at Cal. Also imagine how he would recruit, and the integrity he would have as the Oregon coach, as an Oregon native, Junction City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Author No. 12 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Those are good points for Justin, and getting a Duck in charge would be great. But I wouldn't have him on the top of my list. Cal has not challenged for the North during his tenure. Recruiting to Cal isn't easy, so can't really judge him on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 13 Share Posted December 5, 2021 To be clear up to 2019 Wilcox took at 5-7 team which was in disarray and went 2017 5-7 2018 7-6 lost a bowl game 2019 8-5 won his bowl game not too shabby when considering who we have hired in the past. The past two years have been interesting for just about any program even Alabama. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C J No. 14 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I like the idea of Justin Wilcox and Bill Musgrave teaming up to the coach the Ducks. A couple Oregon guys who will settle in and keep things real. Let's face it. They won't be able to recruit the way Cristobal has........but I am not sure there would be a huge drop off either. I played high school sports against Wilcox. He manhandled me in football and basketball for 3 seasons even though he was a grade under me. He is a really good guy though, very humble and would be one of the highest character guys we have ever had.......if not the highest. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywarduck Moderator No. 17 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I think we have recently hired because of the words, and maybe a bit of the eye test. It is time to hire because of the heart. When you think of who has the heart of Oregon, and can coach there are few choices. Oregon has had connections to many great coaches in the past. USC can thank Oregon for over 230 of their wins from their Oregon connection. Few of this talent has ended up coaching at Oregon. It is time to bring one home so he can make that great history at Oregon 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C J No. 18 Share Posted December 5, 2021 As CalBear mentioned Joe Brady was just fired today by the Carolina Panthers. His track record with Orgeron and Joe Burrow at LSU is very good. Can we at least bring him in as the OC? Although head coach might be fine as well......not sure what his head coach experience is though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 19 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Joe Brady, Coached one season in college football. Had 1st round draft choice at qb, and WR in 2020 draft. A 1st round draft choice in 2021 draft at WR. He looked really good with that talent. Before and after not so good. I would definitely ask Sean Payton what he thought, but I am skeptical about a one year wonder. Both Coach "O" and Brady are without jobs now that those guys are gone.
