I do think the Pac 12 needs to catch up with the SEC. I do like Oregon fans and the way they are still showing up to the games but many of the other Pac 12 teams have empty stadiums.karlhungis wrote:Okay bud.Phalanx wrote:I don't pretend to know how Mario feels about masks, vaccines, or even weather.

Miami may be changing their mind right now, I sure hope they aren’t.

Yea. So who would be a good, young offensive mind that would be a good QB developer? Someone like a Lincoln Riley?OregonFan4Life wrote:Miami may be changing their mind right now, I sure hope they aren’t.

If Oregon is able to retain Cristobal, he's going to need to make some major changes to the offense.

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
I believe Cristobal will stay and that he would have publicly announced his acceptance of his contract extension had the Ducks won tonight.
He'll wait a couple days now for the optics to improve. Needs separation from this humiliation, but he also knows he can't drag out accepting because of the early signing day.

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
While I am in no way calling Mario a liar, it is just to much a coincidence that in the last 10 days Mario has made multiple trips to Miami. Again, not disputing the health of his mother, not for one second, but to much is lining up that says he is gone. Mothers health, trips to Miami, the fact he grew up there and played his college ball there...........there is definitely some fire with the smoke here.

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
Nah, don't see them related at all. That's not to say that he won't end up at Miami, but he's a guy with integrity, and I just don't see him using his mother's illness as an excuse to go down there. Plus, there's no reason for him to go down there in relation to the Miami job. He can easily talk to Miami officials over the phone or Zoom. I think it is definitely a coincidence, but his mother's illness could end up being another thing that sways him more toward taking the job in Miami.QuackininBama wrote:While I am in no way calling Mario a liar, it is just to much a coincidence that in the last 10 days Mario has made multiple trips to Miami.

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
IF Mario remains at Oregon, during this period with his Mother, he and Rob Mullens should just let Big Joe take over the duties of HC per his title and stay with his Mom for as much as he needs.droop10 wrote:Nah, don't see them related at all.

For starters, this is an issue bigger than Football and the Oregon Program is bigger than a bowl game. I also think every single player in the locker room would see it as a reflection of the values that the Program publicly espouses. It's probably also something the coaches could use in recruiting not just this year but in future classes. Parents will recognize that act.
There are problems with Mario and the offense but there are no problems with Mario the person.

Time will tell.

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
If he does leave I can't help but have a "slick willy" taste in my mouth. Leaving after getting destroyed two out of three weeks, coming up short to going to the Pac-12 championship much less the playoffs, and the inevitable chaos that follows as half this team will hit the transfer portal and the loss of most likely every single committed recruit. It would set the program back 5 years. I hope all this Miami talk turns out to be a lot of nothing although the way he avoids stating, "I am staying at Oregon, PERIOD". He isn't saying that.

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
Miami reportedly offered him the job last night. Would make him the highest-paid Miami coach ever.
