NJDuck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted December 6, 2021 This is where I am greatly disappointed in MC leaving with only what, a week left for signing day? This is going to be a mess. Thanks MC for the timing of your departure. This is going to hurt Oregon badly in recruiting. How is Oregon going to be able to hold this recruiting class when the recruits don't even know who the next coach and staff will be? Sorry, I do have to get over my disappointment and hope those in charge makes the next search correctly. Go Ducks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C J No. 3 Share Posted December 6, 2021 This is why I think Mullens needs to make a quick decision. He should of known this was coming for a lot longer then a couple weeks and he should be prepared. Bring in Wilcox and Musgrave and settle the ship. They likely have some decent recruits they could bring along too. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the two coaches above are 3-Star Kings of recruiting, and have not shown the juice needed at recruiting, IMHO. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes........because Phil Knight and Nike are the real recruiters. I mean come on. Obviously Cristobal is not someone that kids parents should of been trusting it seems at this point. Trust in Phil Knight and trust in Nike......trust in Oregon as a program not in a specific coach. But with Wilcox at least parents and kids know he won't bail like our good buddy Cristo-bail.

Well.........what exactly did our incredible recruiting do against Utah here recently? There is way more to college football then recruiting and believe me when I say Wilcox and Musgrave will recruit way better to Oregon than they did to Cal. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deschutesduck No. 12 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I think a player would be silly not to decommit, they might as well explore options till Oregon gets a new coaching staff in place, it's not like they can't still sign with Oregon if they want to. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KingT No. 14 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Gang, strap on the seatbelt, we will lose at least 30-40% recruits. It's gonna hurt. I heard Mario did tell recruits that they signed onto Oregon for the virtues of Oregon and that they should stick with their beliefs in Oregon, etc. But look it's gonna be a big recruiting hit, it's just the way things are in this era. There will be some recovery and the portal will help quite a bit in my view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could coach up 3 stars to perform well just imagine a 4 or 5 star being coached up! It seems that Oregon in the last 4 Cristobal years were coached down and held back with the Plodding Pistol and conservative boring offense! I prefer someone who can make players better.

Just Ducky No. 16 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I’ll say it again the kids that bolt are probably not the kids we need. If it was their childhood dream to be a duck they would stay. Next man up. Remember also that some of these long range kids made their decisions upon MCs promise to their parents to coddle their child for 3 to 4 years being away from home. Homesickness is a real thing. Daddy has gone east. There will be more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oregon line this year and last still can't pass block! Well said and I couldn’t agree more. Watching our Ducks this year started to remind me of Carrol’s Trojan teams that were all about flash and short on fundamentals-like basic tackling. Those Trojan teams seem to under utilize their talents as we did this year. I’ve been wondering for a while how the Boise States, the BYU’s, I’ll even throw in FSU; manage to year in, year out, regardless of coach, significantly out-perform their talent level. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. This is what we need. It was honestly all I could do to muster watching our games any longer. It wasn't the plodding offense or the boneheaded game management as much as it was what seemed like a lack of desire.....almost a sense of entitlement that just made me disinterested.

Shawn Rutter No. 22 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Man O man CJ, that was me. Maybe I’m regressing emotionally as I age, but for my own mental health I had to turn games off early, like first quarter early, for the sake of my own sanity and to salvage weekend. With the exception of The OSU win(thank you Joe Morehead), most of our wins felt like mirages that shoulda been losses, and felt like losses.

If he doesn't learn to loosen the reigns and let the OC call the plays, his team(s) will never make it to any playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
