Can I interest the Oregon contingent with an up-and-coming offensive genius with a pedigree? A real program builder, and he relates to the youths.
Oh great, now posters from the south are gonna start realizing that Oregon has a lot of shitty local reporters, just like everyone else.
I guess I misunderstood the tweet. If that's the criterion, then Cristobal actually won a National Championship.
Hearing he gave up. Just no need to compete anymore with those two running things. apparently mcall and hunter flips are coming already
Yep, if asking a coach to consistently win the ACC coastal with more talent than the other teams in the division is too difficult of a goal for them then that person has no business being a coach at any school in the country imo
Considering he’s being handed one of the youngest rosters in the country and one of the best young quarterbacks I wish him luck trying to sell the fans on some kind of big rebuild.. I don’t think people are going to buy that
man not sure about that, our fans are smart enough to see what's currently in the locker room at LB/CB/DE and OL like we all watched what happened in the trenches labor day weekend but yeah skill wise on offense no big upgrades needed there no doubt
Yeah The upperclassmen getting smacked around on defense isn’t really indictment on the younger guys but we can reserve judgement for next season on that. Now if you wanna talk oline that’s an entirely different conversation. They’re really really bad
Those are issues that don’t take years to fix. Just a couple solid recruiting cycles but that doesn’t prevent you from winning the coastal
They'll never hire Lane. Oregon is weird with "culture" stuff. Mario and Taggart are about as far as administration will stray from that.
That kind of stuff is so dumb. He runs the kind of offense Oregon wants, he understands recruiting Cali. It makes a ton of sense to try
seems like Mario is talking about CFP wins taking some time not competing for ACC like Pitt/Wake this year
I'm not really sure what "throw the bag" means anymore when Michigan State is paying $9.5M per for 10 years guaranteed and Miami is paying all this for Cristobal. Rumors have been that Ole Miss is extending Kiffin, and it can only be 4 years, but it sounded like that was going to be at least in the $8M range. Lane is fun now and that's cool, but I'm not really excited to give him a Franklin-type deal to go there if I'm Oregon.
I mean if we're being serious there is not a single fucking coach in the country that deserves anything upwards of 8 million a year except Nick Saban but unfortunately, that's the market for coaches right now (thanks A&M you fucking cunts). Maybe I'm crazy but the job Lane did to rebuild FAU and then what he's done in a just a couple of years at Ole Miss is well worth the money. He's a good coach and probably the best option on the board unless you want to pay a coordinator as a stop gap for 3 years at a smaller contract.
I think Lane has turned into a good coach and would be a good hire for Oregon, but the $$ involved in trying to steal a coach from the SEC at this point is enormous and it's all downside risk at that point. I also doubt Lane views Oregon as a destination job for him, and you'd still be dealing with rumors every year even while you're paying him that. I don't know what the answer is. The timing is rough for them and the pool of candidates is pretty small out west. I just wouldn't be lining up to give Lane that kind of $$ at a place I know he probably doesn't want to be at long term.
