Posted October 3, 20222 yr Administrator No, I'm not getting into the stalking zone here, but the buyouts of recently fired coaches. Below are stats from a recent John Canzano article, and it strikes me how you could make a name for yourself as an OC or DC and guarantee being a rich man no matter what. You get hired as a head coach and whether you succeed or fail...you are set for life, and then some. Willie Taggart can enjoy just coaching at a smaller school because it doesn't matter for him, since Florida State paid him 16 million to go away. Usually if you get someone that mad at you--there is a restraining order involved, not a lucrative buyout. When you think about it--it is quite the racket to get-rich-regardless of the results! • Paul Chryst, Wisconsin: $16.4 million • Karl Dorrell, Colorado: $8.7 million • Scott Frost, Nebraska: $15 million • Geoff Collins, Georgia Tech: $11.4 million • Herm Edwards, ASU: $9.4 million And yes, Oregon is part of that racket as well. No halos anywhere! Mr. FishDuck
October 3, 20222 yr Heck for that $$$, Not only can they tell me to go, but they can say where! I might even listen
October 3, 20222 yr Moderator Great insight, Charles. Quite the money exchange for failure.

Miami also took away our high octane pistol offensive offense 🤣

October 3, 20222 yr I am regularly being reminded at how fortunate we were that Miami came calling for Mario. And Lanning came to Eugene.

October 4, 20222 yr All of Oregon's opponents miss Cristo-ball too.... They did film study and defensive planning for 1/2 hour on Monday morning and then had shave ice and BBQ the rest of the week.
October 4, 20222 yr Moderator Or, you can take a cash discount up front. Paul Chryst Reportedly Makes Surprising Decision After Wisconsin Fires Him WWW.MSN.COM Wisconsin football is officially moving on from head coach Paul Chryst. The Badgers have fired Chryst following the team's 0-2 start to conference play and 2-3 start overall. Wisconsin is on the hook...
October 4, 20222 yr What a wonderful world that we can pay incredible amounts of money for incompetence. What is overlooked here is the cost of revenue loss to these institutions in ticket, hot dog, parking, Beer, apparel, and a host of other factors that escapes my pea brain at the moment. Be fun to know what that number is. Beer being the most important. 🤪
