noDucknewby No. 2 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Bo's a smart guy, he's not going to fall for that one. That said, the odds of him staying are way down after KD's departure IMHO. I would be amazed if he came back. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw777b No. 3 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I didn't expect that open ended response from him. I can't imagine why he would stay. But he has a dad with a perfect background to help him make the best choice. It sounds like he'll play in the bowl game and I expect his ankle to be healthy by then. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 4 Share Posted November 28, 2022 He's probably a mid-round draft pick at this point. He might be able to improve his stock a little bit but not much. However, get a good enough NIL deal and staying could be worth it, especially with some draft insurance. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Haulin No. 6 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Lanning will have his OC in place by end of the week. I trust Lannings ability to hire. He has shown he has the ability to draw high level talent with both player and staff. Once a new OC is in place Bo will know what he wants to do pretty quickly. He is probably going into draft, but maybe Lannings next hire will change Bo's mind. Everything hinges on who Lanning hires. Portal opens on the 5th followed shortly by early signing. We will know inthe next 3 or 4 days. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean by him "coming back for two or three more seasons" but no, he only has one season of eligibility left - but only if he opts out as the article says. I expect he'll declare for the draft IF there is interest in him by the right NFL teams - which I also expect will be the case. The one option I certainly hope he does not take is the option to play one more year of collegiate football for his QB mentor Kenny Dillingham. If that happens Oregon will certainly suffer, both in the recruiting wars and the gridiron. Losing him to a Pac-12 opponent would be the worst case scenario for Oregon. I don't expect him to do that but one never knows, does one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryProf No. 12 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I don't see Bo coming back. The quality and experience of Oregon's offensive line is going to see a significant if not big drop next year due to the departure of so many multi-year veterans. IMHO, I don't see how he could perform as well behind a lesser offensive line, and I'm guessing he's thinking that as well. And if he doesn't perform as well, you would think his draft stock would fall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding, a player can only transfer one time and be granted immediate eligibility ("one-time transfer exception"). Therefore, Bo Nix cannot transfer to another college football program since he only has 1 year of eligibility remaining, unless he receives an NCAA waiver (highly unlikely, IMHO). This is a good rule, IMO, because it prevents players from transferring or threatening to transfer every year to get more NIL dollars. "The “one-time transfer exception” remains in place, allowing immediate eligibility for athletes the first time they transfer. For all subsequent transfers, athletes will still be required to sit out a year or receive an NCAA waiver for immediate eligibility." NCAA modifies portal rules, adds 'transfer windows' WWW.AL.COM Athletes must give notification to transfer within certain ‘windows’ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo was the difference between a potential 11-1 team if he'd remained healthy, a 9-3 team once wounded, and a losing record if he weren't here. With Bo gone, what do we have? Two highly rated, but apparently inadequate returning QBs, and a 5 star incoming freshman. No matter how they play, it's going to be a large step down from what Bo provided.

Smith72 Moderator No. 21 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I am so happy. This season is a vast improvement compared to how it went last year. Coach Lanning and his staff (assembled very quickly) managed to save a lot of recruits and Oregon players who were ready to bolt. The Transfer Portal was sifted and recruited. Who knew the quality running backs Irving and Whittington. Chase Cota improved the receiver room. Christian Gonzalez improved the DB room. The best experienced QB possible to get came to lead the Ducks. I will be forever grateful Bo Nix is an Oregon Duck! Nebraska fired a 9-3 coach because they felt they should have won a championship. Nebraska has been a loser ever since! I, for one, want to be patient. For now Dan Lanning has my trust. 1 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck No. 22 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Last December Bo Nix transferred to Oregon. I would imagine in the coming weeks we will have a new OC, and then the work begins on the team we will see next season. We can definitely focus on the recent past and wallow in what could have been. We can also look forward to what could be an exciting next few weeks as we build for next season. We have the new OC, recruitment, signing, transfers and a bowl game. I would love to see Bo come back and be part of that future. The future is going to be bright, so I am not holding my breath on Bo, just excited to see who is going to be part of it. Great times ahead! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty much how I see it as well, once the new OC is announced the staff will meet to discuss the 2023 offense and that will be formed out of what pieces are available. There could be a transfer QB in the mix associated with the new QB coach or we could execute with what we have coming out of the spring game. Oregon has proven to be a desirable location for transfer QBs but we will have to wait and see. For my money I think the 2023 team will be a less dynamic offense but a vastly improved defense and likely a similar record (+/- 1-2 wins) as this year. What I hope to see is Dante Moore come to Oregon and the offense focus a bit more on less mobile QB play and a more dynamic but accurate passing attack. The O-line will regress somewhat but there is plenty of talent there to see really good O-line play in situational calls and have plenty of rushing in the mix.

Oh, and he’s probably looking for an OC on top of all that. Besides, what is he going to say that he didn’t say in that 10 minutes post game interview?

To go along with what DrJacksPlaidPants stated. Dan Lanning is doing EXACTLY what he should be doing. Finishing up and finalizing recruiting, talking to and retaining the current payers, looking for a new OC, and hopefully a new Special Teams coach. He has a TON on his plate currently. He definitely should not be focusing on us fans. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Vast Improvement over last year" I would agree this season was a "vast improvement" from an entertainment standpoint, the games were high scoring and a lot more fun to watch. But... At this point last season we were 10-2 ( one win better) and heading to a pac-12 championship game. We also had a win, on the road, over the 3rd ranked team in the nation, Ohio St. Mario was boring, but he did get us a Rose Bowl win and 2 pac-12 titles. I think he deserves a little more credit for those accomplishments. I'd be happy if Lanning could get us 2 pac-12 titles and a Rose Bowl win in the next 4 seasons.

Smith72 Moderator No. 29 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Mario also gave us an embarrassing loss in Utah. In addition Mario then gave us an embarrassing loss in the Pac-12 Championship game. Then that head coach left us for Miami. Comparing a 3 point loss to Washington and a 4 point loss to OSU is not as bad as those 2 Utah losses last year. We were in the games this year. If not for an injured QB this season would have been 11-1. In my opinion this year was better than the chaos that Mario left behind in Oregon! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
