I get that it's his home turf and he has to walk a mile to find 5 star talent but when Oregon is on their game, they get top 10 recruiting classes and have unlimited Nike money and top shelf facilities. At Oregon, you also don't have to worry about Florida and FSU. Not to mention all the other P5 teams in the south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 A few prominent members of the Oregon sports media crew are spiking the football this morning, saying they were right all along and Oregon should have never fired Mark Helfrich. Is local media insane everywhere, or is ours just extra weird? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Cristobal felt he had reached his peak at Oregon? (not saying that Oregon isn't capable of a CFP berth, because they clearly are) With Clemson coming back down to earth and Florida and Florida State currently reeling, there is a window for Miami in the ACC/state of Florida.

Utefan1211 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Where could Cristobal go that is the furthest city from Eugene? Done deal. Will Chip bring the old crew back? (all speculation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastFan Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 The question is, with all of the resources, a winnable division and conference, a history of 10-win seasons, and persumably competitive salaries, why would coaches be leaving Eugene? Sure, the local high school talent pool isn't there, so you have to travel to get blue chips. But the path to the playoffs sure is more direct for the Ducks than for many other schools that are in conferences with several heavyweights. My take is that stability is overrated. It's what got Colorado to go with Dorrell, after they got burned, and while it might be stable, it sure doesn't shout "winner!" Wilcox? Oregon should be shooting higher at a number of candidates.

glduck Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I agree in principle. I just have yet to see evidence that Oregon can actually land a big name coach, so my prediction skews pessimistic. We had to drop down to Willie Taggart after we fired Helfrich, and our other finalists last time were Wilcox and Kevin Sumlin. Our last basketball search was an unmitigated disaster until we accidentally stumbled into Dana Altman. I need to see it before I will believe it.

PAC MAN Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 If it was just about the coaching money, I don't know if Cristobal makes that move because that UO offer was a real good one. But this NIL thing has made some coaching jobs where the school is located in a large metro area pretty attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
