glduck Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 UCF is claiming the national championship this season, and are paying their coaching staff accordingly. as cute as that is, it's still more legitimate than several SEC national championships: https://www.outkickthecoverage.com/alabama-s-1941-national-title-is-the-most-illegitimate-in-sports-072716/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wow. Looks like someone farted back then and they decided 20 years later that it won the national championship. For all the teams playing by modern rules, this is outrageous.

UDub did that after 47 years for something called the Helms title, and they have it on their scoreboard. https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-huskies/1960-huskies-recognized-as-champs-at-last/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a full Helms natty. Considering who I was poking at, I wasn't expecting a response from you. I guess chiming in on this beats coming to grips with the coaching death spiral that UO is on. It's like looking in the mirror from 20 yrs ago. Very successful coach leaves, trusted assistant takes over, sees some success but eventually runs team down (Lambright/Helfrich) --> Switch gears to outsider flimflam coach who seems set for success but deceives the fans/players, etc. on their way out the door (Neuheisel/Taggart) --> back to trusty assistant with bad head coaching record where everyone is sure (wants to believe?) that they will do better here (Gilby/Cristobal) The good news is you got to stage three much sooner than we did so there's hope for you that the spiral may be shorter. Yet to come: 1. Strict indifferent disciplinarian who likes his paychecks but doesn't necessarily need many more of them and takes the program to it's utter depths. 2. Goofball drunk fratboy who's good enough in some ways but lacks wherewithal (and sometimes faculties) to see any real success. Good luck on the journey.

Sounds like the Ducks just need to skip to your current step, i.e. hire successful G5 coach. Give Tedford a call in 2019? Anyway, as an objective, rival observer, I don't think MC is a bad pick at all, and I don't think he's on par with Gilbertson. He had success at FIU, taking over a program that was basically Texas State in Necessary Roughness, leading it to two winning seasons (their ONLY 2 winning seasons to that point). Then he mentored under the best coach in college football history for 4 years. Did Gilby have that kind of career? I don't care to wiki-hop, but I doubt it.

So we have to go through one more coach before we can finally hire Kiffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBug708 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Gilby had a better winning percentage at Idaho than Erickson did, he had some decent credentials before he showed he couldn't coach at Cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously was mostly for fun, agreed though, who knows how Cristobal will turn out. As Bug pointed out, Gilby saw success in I-AA. At Cal shape of it was similar to Cristobal, slow start, some success in the middle (Cal's 3rd bowl win since 1938), died out at the end. Starting points were different, blah, blah, blah, etc.Tilt your head the right way and they are a carbon copy of each other. Or don't and they're not.

I don't think their careers are similar at all. Cristobal is still in his 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the fucking QB at Mariota's HS, yet Helfrich couldn't be bothered to seriously recruit him even though Tua was practically begging for a UO offer.

Yeaaaaah, it's becoming evident why Helfrich was fired, isn't it? Did he do anything correct? Obviously Marcus was basically the coach of those first two Helf years.
