Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Just minutes after No. 9 Oregon's upset loss to No. 21 Oregon State, the Ducks have reportedly lost its offensive coordinator. According to The Athletic's Bruce Feldman, ESPN's Pete Thamel, and Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger, Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham is finalizing a deal to become Arizona State's next head coach.

DuckIt No. 7 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Good riddance. The jet sweep hasn't worked all season and yet he calls two of them within the same set of downs. The first one got blown up, so two plays later on 3rd and long, he tries it in the opposite direction. In the first half, I was hollering at the offense to throw a screen. When he finally does and Cota makes big run to pick up first down, Dilly started going back to the well one too many times. It's obvious that Nix's ability to successfully run the ball and convert on 4th down, masked a lot of DL's and KD's shortcomings as play callers and coaches. Without a true dual threat QB, you can't trust these coaches to win the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kamikaze Kid Moderator No. 8 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Dilly is good but he isn't the UO offensive coaching staff. He's not a fully stocked offensive personnel group. He's not a nationally recognized recruiting brand. The UO is all of these things and they won't travel with him. Have fun diving into the dumpster fire.

LADuck No. 12 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I think a healthy Bo Nix can make an OC look better than they may actually be. Not saying KD isn't good but having a QB playing NFL ready does tend to make you look smart. Ducks will find somebody good and as McDuck said maybe one with more experience that can help DL with game management situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about the brand, he doesn’t get to take that with him. However, the fully stocked offensive personnel from the 2023 class may decide to travel with him, at least in part. If Uncle Phil considers it his staff, there will be plenty of incentive to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing out that turn-arounds can happen quickly, even in less than a year. I agree with that. I was specifically talking about recruits following Dilly to ASU. I do not really see that being an issue in this recruiting cycle. I feel Dilly will need to prove himself at ASU in order to steal recruits from more established programs like USC,UO, UU, or UW.

Log Haulin No. 18 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Dilly can't refuse this offer. Nobody would in his position. I don't think it will go well for KD. He is probably better off long term staying where he is at a couple years. But how do you turn that down? 3 year contract is life changing money. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckhart No. 19 Share Posted November 27, 2022 It's the perfect situation for Dilly. He's going to be able to take a program in disarray and build it up pretty easily imo. ASU has an appeal with young people you have 4 pro sports team within spitting distance and the fall winter weather is spectacular for young people. There will be players that follow him no doubt.

He is probably better off long term staying where he is at a couple years. I agree that this opportunity would be risky for KD to turn down. What does KD's offense look like next year without Bo taking snaps? How long would Arizona St sit on a bad hire for KD to get his next shot at the job? Then there's the risk that Arizona St made a good hire and KD would NEVER get a shot at his dream job. I wish him luck in the position, he did pretty well for Oregon in his only year both recruiting and developing the offense. Would you have rather have had another year of MC's offense? I don't have any sour grapes about coaches or players leaving teams, it's how the game is and it would significantly hamper my enjoyment of the game if I focused on how the game isn't leather helmets and cigar smoking coaches anymore. My concern is focused on coach Klemm. I REALLY hope DL hires coach Klemm as the new offensive coordinator. The concern is coach Klemm has never called plays but if he doesn't get the job I think we will lose coach Klemm. I think we WILL lose coach Adams unfortunately if he doesn't get the OC job. I think it's a choice between Adams and Klemm and I think Klemm is the better choice but I absolutely could be wrong. The other obvious option is to hire an experienced play caller but I think we would lose Klemm and Adams in that scenario and that's a pretty big blow to continuity. It really would have been nice to keep the staff together but it's pretty unrealistic honestly as coaches want to develop and get their shot at the top jobs and that is just how it is. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kamikaze Kid Moderator No. 28 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Dilly won't have a bunch of 4/5 stars making his offense look great. He won't have a top notch group of assistants coaching up position groups. He won't have a bunch of 4/5 star recruits beating down the door until he shows results. He won't have a national brand to market to 4/5 star recruits. He will be at a lower tier team at a time when the upper half of the conference are all legit top 25 teams. He will be at a school that will have an unknown amount of sanctions heading it's way. He will have a three year contract meaning he's got two years until the hot seat fires up. All in all, I'd say he just made a huge career mistake. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDuck No. 34 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I'm to old to remember all the recent year end coaching turmoil. Don Pellum demoted, Brady Hoke hired. Somebody else on staff must had departed.

Mario Cristobal resigns, entire staff departs. Kenny Dillingham resigns. I count at least 28 departures since the start of 2016 and the musical chairs season hasn't even started for this year.
