Log Haulin No. 2 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Lanning has been busy, grabbed a couple seasoned coaches with time and experience. I see he did great at UCLA leading them to top the Pac in pass defense. Great recruiter. Coming together for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck 1972 No. 4 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Looks like he's cleaning house. Just saw 2 advisor and 1 grad assistant leaving with K Wilson LB Coach and now head coach at Nevada Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskrat No. 5 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Tasty!!! He’s a recruiter with west coast ties. Hmmm. Things are looking more interesting. I’m starting to be a “Believer”. Starting to catch the vision. One more quality puzzle piece. All good moves. So far so good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw 2 advisor and 1 grad assistant leaving with K Wilson LB Coach and now head coach at Nevada I wouldn't say that is cleaning house as much as those guys are getting promotions. Kwame who was an Analyst is becoming the SAF/Co-DC at Nevada, and Jalen was another Analyst becoming a CB coach. Nate Costa was another Analyst who is Nevada's QB coach. All in all i would portray this as Wilson raiding the oregon analyst cabinet for his coaches rather than a cleaning of house. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck 1972 No. 8 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I agree with you but DL could have promoted them also. There's not going to be one position coach retained on the new staff. What I don't know is if any were asked to stay but chose not to or never even asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Lanning could have promoted them but why would oregon promote an analyst to be position coach. especially an analyst that has never had on field college experience before. These aren't the same level of analyst that Bama gets(washed up coaches that need the school of Saban) these are young guys who need experience and I would be concerned if Lanning was retaining these guys in a manner to promote them. Many people misunderstand the role of an analyst. They are not allowed to coach the players one bit they are only allowed to give players words of encouragement. Most of their work is relegated to assisting the coordinators in film review and game planning. I'd assume Costa was probably focused on finding the patterns in opposing Defenses to help moorhead scheme for the game. All in all I think it is a big risk for a power 5 top 20 team to promote an analyst, who has never coached in college, to an on the field role. So while I don't know if Lanning offered them their jobs back I would expect them to take promotions at Nevada. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EzDucksIt No. 11 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Let's be honest with the Old Staff, everyone and their sister was a Co- Asst- or something, to many bosses and not enough employees! Mario to get some of the people he got had to find creative ways to get them more pay or it sure seemed that way. Maybe that system did not work, too many hands in the cookie jar. Could explain why the teams Mario coached seemed so inconsistent. No Direction, No Leader, it really is kind of crazy how the talent and coaches could not mesh. No road graders but some talented athletes with ambition and drive. If Miami, looks like Oregon of the last four years, you will know what the problem was, I bet.
