Next Duck Coach: DAN LANNING

[thatbpguy]

I think the easiest hire to keep things in tact quickly if Mario leaves would be Joe Moorhead. He can keep most of the staff from a 10 win team and bring in an OC/QB, OL, and TE/ST to his liking.

I am pretty sure Moorhead has already signed with Akron and is gone.

I hope so.

Some key qualifications I'd look for:
- Not a re-tread
- Solid recruiter
- Known for developing talent
- Views the Oregon job as a "Dream Job" aka doesn't have any other school out there they will leave for. I want someone here for the long haul.

Your first key and last key make it unlikely to find a candidate who wouldn't be an over promotion.

By re-tread, I mean someone like Rich Rod or Kevin Sumlin, coaches who have been around but never maintained success. I don't view a guy like Chris Peterson and a re-tread.

One name I haven't seen mentioned is Andy Avalos. I get he just left for Boise State (which would probably be the biggest reason it doesn't happen) and had an okay season but they'd be foolish not to look at him.

I dunno but having either Chris Petersen or Chip Kelly as options is pretty weird imo.

I hope our next HC is someone that has a good reputation and can lead us to some CFP's

If we can't do better than Avalos....

And we think we're a stepping stone job.

What about Prime Time? Deion Sanders would be an interesting hire.

Isn't he a Florida guy, too?

From Fort Myers in Central Florida and former Florida State player.

Yeah that was the one thing that would give me pause lol. He'd go slick Willie on us and bail to FSU.

Why coach Pete? Oregon guy, great rep, and has everything you would want. Innovative, games are fun to watch, smart x/o dude. He would be number one for sure.

You're right, it was just that him being a former-Washington Huskies coach made it a bit ironic for me.

After all HE DID make the CFP once.

He also retired because he got burned out due to the recruiting and coaching schedule.

He was also innovative. Some of his trick plays were classic.

Who knows? Maybe he's had enough time away to rest and reconsider? It's understandable that he wouldn't want a pressure cooker job like USC, but even though expectations are rising at Oregon, it's nowhere near L.A. or Seattle.

Oh, and he'd have a loaded roster, as well as a salvageable class of incoming recruits.

The only thing I care about is getting a national championship. Do you guys the coach Pete can bring that? He’s a very good coach, but I don’t think he can win it all. With Pete we’ll be competing for a pac-12 title 50% - 75% of the time but that’s where we top out.

Having a good program is nice but I want a championship. I would take 4 losing seasons over the next 5 years if the other year we won it all.
