Posted January 4, 20232 yr Moderator Canzano: Was Dillingham distracted in Oregon's final regular-season game? Conspiracy theorists wondered. Bettors speculated he might be. Duck fans debated the topic, too. ASU coach Kenny Dillingham speaks out. Canzano: Putting a conspiracy theory to rest WWW.JOHNCANZANO.COM ASU coach Kenny Dillingham speaks out.
January 4, 20232 yr I don't buy it. Speaking in hindsight about your commitment to Oregon is very easy and expected if you are Dilly; no one would know otherwise. Do I believe he was committed to the Ducks until the second he walked out of Reser? Absolutely. However, only a robot could sit in the box while calling a game and not have thoughts of a new head coaching gig, getting introduced in 24 hours, meeting players, etc... At least he didn't give up on his team like Cristobal did when he found out 2/3 of the way through the season that he was going to bail
January 4, 20232 yr Moderator That article also doesn't clarify when the players found out. There was a night and day difference in effort after halftime.
January 4, 20232 yr Of course he had to be thinking about ASU at times, but it's a pretty ridiculous take to think that cost us the loss to the Biebers or the Fuskies. We scored enough points in both of those games to win--if blame must be laid, then it falls on the defense. Washington didn't punt once the entire game if I remember correctly and in the CW our defense couldn't stop a vanilla rushing attack that didn't throw a pass the entire fourth quarter. That said, laying blame is just counterproductive. KD makes for a convenient scapegoat, but's that's just doesn't reflect the reality of our two conferences losses.

January 4, 20232 yr We can all blame who we want but our D @ Beavers was terrible and the same could be said for most of the game against the Fuskies.
