What does Baylor's history matter when talking about a specific Coach? Why isn't the focus for you about Dave Aranda, why is it all about crapping on Baylor the institution? (Which mind you, I get that they deserve it for their recent past but it just isn't germane to the thread)

because the argument being made to me is about how Dave Aranda will never leave the historic and popular recruiting gold mine called Baylor to go to little ole Oregon. I think some of you guy's want to root for a small school so I'd suggest UC Davis they had a year similar to Oregon and have great rivalry games with Eastern Washington. If I thought Oregon was some small school that couldn't out recruit the Vanderbilt of the Big 12 then I'd root for bigger school.

Yeah because I think Oregon is better than Baylor. OH THE CRAZINESS!!!!. Some of you Oregon fans are stuck in the past and want to see Oregon lose like they did back in the day so you can call yourselves a small school. I'm also stuck in the past because the first season I watched of Oregon they were 11-2 and beat a top 2 Washington Team also beating Texas in the Holiday Bowl. That is what I expect and every duck fan should too.

You know, you might actually be funny if your intent was to be humorous with this. Like, when you want to talk about a small school you might say CAL LUTHERAN, the Alma Mater of Aranda.

That said, it should be obvious that there are certain advantages, specifically to recruiting and economics that can weigh heavily in favor of staying at a P5 school that will pay you well. He's in the middle of Texas so it's the same trip to SoCal for recruits as it is to Florida. For all we know, Aranda's interest in Oregon is because he knows he's getting a guaranteed pay raise and his agent has told him this.

Since I assume you're referring to me, let me put your mind at ease. Regarding your sentence I bolded I never said that or implied it and I certainly don't want it. Some how you have yourself all worked up because I and a couple of others pointed out that poaching a coach from today's Baylor is not a slam dunk. Not impossible but harder than taking assistants from WSU because today's Baylor has well above average P5 resources and commitment to athletics.

Yeah I get Baylor isn't the same ole Baylor and it's not a sure thing. The one thing that stood out to me was Miami fans confidence they've been calling Oregon a stepping stone for a few weeks now and they were confident they would get there guy. I'd just like to see a little of that from our own fanbase. If Oregon is such a small school why does nobody ever cry for us like they do with Cincy, UCF and Boise St. Nobody thinks of us as a small school except for the fans that were around during the Fouts days. I always like to point this out. My high standards didn't come from the Chip era by then I had rooted for Oregon for 10 years. My high standards came from the Joey Harrington days. Even in the Joey Harrington days I wouldn't want to be out recruited by Baylor.

Miami fans are what you would get if you gave a UW fan a sun tan and fist full of ecstasy.

Honestly, once we do win a NC, we're going to be like Notre Dame of the West. You either love the Ducks of you f'in hate us.

We're not a small school nor are we a big school. Ok St has a billion dollar booster but they can't mimic what we have in Eugene. The majority of this board recognizes/embraces that but we also know that we tried the home-town lifer and he couldn't cut it. Ergo, it's okay to have coaches who might move on. Saban left LSU for the NFL. Some things you can't control.

As for McClendon, it's interesting that he might be a possible candidate and I think its worth seeing what he can bring to the table. Maybe he just becomes OC but if he has a plan that keeps a lot of the Offensive players on the team and they support him, I find myself intrigued.

Back to the thread:

Confession. When I saw the title to this thread I said to myself, "who the hell is that". To me I have him mentally filed away as "the new receivers coach". Now that he's coach for a game, maybe his name will stick.

I don't but I have ESPN+ but no regular cable so I've been watching UC Davis all year as the small school I rooted for. So I was a UC Davis fan this year. The weird thing is UC Davis had the same exact sort of year as Oregon. They got off to a 8-1 start and it looked like they could have been one of the best in D2 but then they lost to Eastern Washington in that foggy game and then lost to Sac St. So I do like rooting for UC Davis as my small school.

I see McClendon and I still think of Aubrey McClendon who helped steal the Sonics from Seattle with the help of Howard Schultz.
