Cristobal is Gone. This is good thing because...

...his ceiling is Les Miles (never going to win a championship because of stupid decisions, meddling, QB development).

The list is long. What else?

Mario Cristobal would’ve been another Clay Helton if he stayed at Oregon. Eventually recruits would’ve noticed his crap coaching and would go elsewhere. Les Miles is way above Cristobal.

OOPS :lol: Ah, there's the rub I guess. But he did flame out/burn out his fan base.

and then they hired another guy who wore out his welcome AFTER winning another NC.

We'd love to have had that success.

How did Cristobal even end up at UO?
What did Ol’ Willy offer him that caused him to walk away from Bama for a similar position on the opposite side of the world? Mario, even through this, seems like he’s loyal and loves his guys, and wouldn’t just break from the Bama succession plan for a wild and uncertain ride in uncharted territory with a coach he didn’t know. Strange to look back on…

I want to say that Mario had been passed over for promotion at Bama and that part of his original title coming to Oregon was what Coach Joe has as the Asst HC title. He was full aware of the Oregon brand from afar and talked about the potential of the position etc. Willie wasn't a good HC or play-caller but he did build a great staff of individual coaches.

Mario got demoted at Alabama. From full O-line coach to coaching tackles and tight-ends. Willie offered him full O-line and Co-OC title.

I already thoroughly discussed it in a post where I got slammed.

Good Luck Mario...
