EzDucksIt No. 50 Share Posted September 26, 2022 In all honesty, I would hope that Mario, figures it out. So many kids depend on an adult to lead them in the right direction. Help them become mature adults. Teachers in life, mentors at work or someone to look up to. I would hate to think, that Slick Willie, knew all the weasels that say one thing and live by another. But right now, MC leaves me unconvinced he is a teacher of men. Oh and Happy Birthday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjenn99 No. 51 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Yet I keep seeing the familiar old tune of "Blame the OC". How many times can you blame the OC before it lands in your lap as HC? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 54 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Two interesting points about this game. First, MTSU lost their first game 44-7 to JMU which was a FCS team last year. Second, MTSU is 3-0 all time versus Miami. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathis No. 55 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I LOVE that the MTSU coach is emphasizing "toughness" as the reason for their win. That HAS TO BE salt in Mari0's wounds, it has to be eating him alive! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDuck Moderator No. 56 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Here are a couple of articles from the FishDuck Feed after the Miami disaster: Cristobal cited on the loser side in this article. Says "Cristobal can't blame talent in that kind of loss - this is coaching. Ouch! College football Week 4 winners, losers, overreactions: Kicking blunders plague SEC teams, Oklahoma in trouble - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM College kickers -- unfortunately -- took center stage for SEC teams looking for key wins on Saturday Trojan Wire comparing how bad it was under Helton that he couldn't beat a Cristobal coached Oregon team. They are actually saying how bad Cristobal is as a coach. Bad tweets coming from Miami fans. Though I do like this one: "Chip Kelly doesn't work in the NFL. Willie Taggart gets fired after two season at Florida State. Mario Cristobal just lost to Middle Tennessee at Miami. A lesson for Coach Lanning, don't leave Oregon." Mario Cristobal’s fall magnifies Clay Helton’s inability to beat him TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM USC fans love Lincoln Riley because of what they’re seeing, but also because of what they left behind with Clay Helton, who couldn’t outcoach Mario Cristobal.

Fortunately Dan and his assistants seem to realize what many haven't seen as a pattern, yet. I would be surprised to see Dan leave before 5 years is up. I do think we will see quite a few assistants leave before that time frame. The biggest mistakes when you are young is when somebody says, 'watch this.' The biggest mistake when you are an adult comes after the statement, 'it is going to be different this time.' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceaniaDuck No. 66 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Yes, MC's offensive scheme may have been boring to watch, but let's give the guy credit for showing that blue-chip talent can indeed be recruited to Eugene. And he did get it right at least when it came to beefing up the O-line. Just imagine if CK had the O-line we do now when he was still HC for the Ducks. It wouldn't be a stretch IMHO to say that we would have a BCS trophy - or two - sitting on the shelf. I'll admit that I was very skeptical when Taggart and then Cristobal were talking about recruiting 5-star talent to play for the U of O - I was still in the school of "let's hire a HC that can do more with less". Lol. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. I respectfully disagree. I would take the Bellotti, Kelly and Helfrich first two years as HC over any Power 5 team with the high 4 and 5 star players. Texas, Oklahoma and USC have gotten no where in the last 10 years with that talent except by the ESPN homers. Take a look at this article. Oregon Football: Where Ducks rank among top-25 in past decade DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Ducks may not have the history of an Ohio State or Notre Dame, but in the past decade, they’ve been as good as anyone. That article lists Top Programs, some Blue Bloods, former winners of National Championships. It shows, Oregon has been in the National Championship conversation for quite some time. More than the perceived Blue Bloods of the PAC-12 USC and Washington. If you look closely, you do not see Texas, Penn State, Nebraska or Miami on that list. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 70 Share Posted September 28, 2022 This is a very interesting read. One interesting quote I saw was “Canes are injured, slow, stiff, and depleted”. That sounds vaguely familiar. It describes the 2021 Oregon Ducks. One thing Miami hasn’t figured out that I personally have been keeping an eye on is the amount of injuries that they have. Remember how many season ending injuries Oregon had last year? Bennett, Flowe, Redd, Johnson III, Verdell to name a few. The writer has some clue because he thinks Mario is over-working them to build toughness. Their fans haven’t figured it out yet. I would expect to see more injuries as their season goes on. An off-season of "Cheap Thrills" WWW.STATEOFTHEU.COM The Miami Hurricanes had another hype-filled off-season, but it was just a few months of cheap thrills. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
