Next Duck Coach: DAN LANNING

[GDuck]

Chris Peterson!! Maybe bring Lake with him? Would love to see Huskies reaction to that.

I would literally get sick if Lake comes to Oregon in any capacity.

I wonder what is causing Scott Frost to stumble (fail) he did well at UCF, they had a quick turnaround

Literally sick? Wow. There is no way UW would’ve fired him if his team had been doing well based off of that incident alone. I live in the Seattle area and hear all about it. Not that I’d be sad I he didn’t come with Peterson, but I think he is a good coach who made a decent mistake and maybe could learn from it. He will be back coaching at some point.

But realistic question - can Miami hire a head coach before they hire the new athletic director? Generally speaking you need an AD first right?

Yes, the contract is with the school/BoT. There are still administrators at UM capable of all of that.

IMO Oregon just dodged a huge bullet.

What good is it to get Top 10 recruiting classes when the talent is not being utilized properly?? How have guys like Seven been on the bench all year?? Not to mention that the days of getting KT, Flowe, and Sewell left the minute Dante walked out the door.

Oregon is 45th in scoring offense and 54th in total offense. Oregon’s offense is ranked behind teams like Duke, NIU, App State, Miami Ohio, Air Force, Toledo, Tulsa, etc.

Not to mention that Mario has lost 6 of his last 20 games, and three of those losses were to sub 500 teams.

If Miami wants to give him $8M a year, let them make the mistake.

Campbell, Chip, Peterson, and Aranda are all calls Oregon should make.

Wow, sports 247 even tweeted it.

What I can glean is the ball is in Mario's court and it's time to decide. UM is apparently offering 8M at 5 years with a pool of pay for his assts. We're offering slightly less at 7.5 but no idea on length.

I would call 247 a creditable media source, what is confusing is; while Miami has a new AD, they still have an active HC in Diaz. Not classy at …… but Florida is full of snakes one called Willie.

IF Mario does in fact leave, I think the lazy options we will hear are gonna include Peterson, Wilcox, and Chip.

I think some other names that could be interesting would be Matt Campbell, Bronco Mendenhall, Dave Aranda, PJ Fleck, Jeff Traylor, and Graham Harrell.

Would they try to bring back Moorhead as HC?

SP+ rankings has us at 25th Offense, 50th Defense and 22nd Special Teams. We were 8th overall.

No, no, no on anyone from Cal as head coach! Also, no on Deyruter.

Yes literally sick, not because of his one sideline incident but his hot headed antics in general, plus he was a loser short term coach for Washington. If the Ducks can’t hire better than Lake the fans are in for a long sad road.

Really just hoping they don't go after Wilcox. It's a lazy hire and his offenses have been putrid.

How can you be 54th in total offense and 45th in scoring offense in ESPN’s statistics and rank 25th in the sp+?
And did you watch our return teams this year? They were terrible.

I guess it doesn’t really matter because it is a done deal now, thankfully.

As likely as some other names being posted but I really admire what Jonathan Smith is doing for the Beavs……. Makes me wonder what he would do at Oregon with a
Bigger budget and the lure of recruiting with the facilities

Think you’re giving Donte way too much credit given that he wasn’t the lead recruiter for any of those guys. Peterson had one season at UW that was better than the one Mario just had in a down year. Chip hasn’t had anything close since coming back to college. Not sure why you think these guys are significantly better options. Alright fun fact…Mario has never lost to either of those guys. Even beat Chip’s vaunted offense this season!

I appreciate the positive spin but Mario owned the guy you’re so excited to replace him with ha. Offense is great but doesn’t automatically equal wins. Chip’s defenses suck because no decent DC wants to coach under a HC that sets his defense up for failure. Chip will never have a great defense.

Do think the team that gains the most yards on Offense is in fact the #1 Offense in the country? SP+ and other metrics exist because most people would answer NO to that question and the same for other straight comparisons of raw numbers. They're all just part of the equation.

I wouldn't be against Chip coming back as long as he's directed to put an emphasis on recruiting as a stipulation in his contract. I wouldn't be against some of the staff he'd bring like Azzinaro, Greatwood and maybe even Helfrich, but he's got to have some next generation guys that can both coach and recruit, as well.

History shows that many coaches don't do as well in their second stint at the same school. Bill Walsh at Stanford is one example. Still, the fact that the UCLA job was a complete rebuild and he still finished 8-4 this season does show that he can start from scratch and build a winner.

Also, with Chip at the helm, I'd be much less concerned about the QB situation.
