Next Duck Coach: DAN LANNING

Would Kalani Sitake leave BYU? He seems to be in the same vein as a Cristobal but can actually coach.

He is LDS and played at BYU, but I imagine at some point money has to talk and Oregon has plenty to throw around. He also went 5-0 vs the Pac 12 this year so I'm sure he could do well with even more resources.

Salavea is mormon so that should have no impact.

I'm not saying Oregon doesn't take him because he's mormon, I'm saying Sitake might be exactly where he wants to be and rejects us.

What do people think about Joe Brady? Would be interesting hire. I’m almost leaning toward bringing chip back and surrounding him with some great assistants who will recruit hard. We need stability and I don’t think chip would bail. We know he can coach and will bring back the spread offense.

I like Joe Brady as an overpaid OC for Dave Aranda.

I think Aranda and Campbell have to be your 1A, 1B choices. We need a coach who can develop players. Developmental programs can still win lots of games and sneak into the playoffs or rose bowls (Cincinnati, Utah, etc). Combine that with Oregon NIL, with the right coach we should be right back in the chase in a couple years.

Brady has basically no track record. He had 1 season with historically good talent on offense, where he was a co-OC. That's a huge risk to take. Chip will not come without assurances that he gets to choose his assistants (not sure many coaches would). I don't think Chip values the recruiting aspect much in his assistants. That's my main problem with him coming back. He doesn't care for recruiting, nor will he make up for that deficiency with his assistant hirings. He's also loyal to guys like Azz, despite Azz's defenses not showing much success.

I mean we did go to a rose bowl and a fiesta bowl the previous two years, and we were one game away from a Rose Bowl. So I think good recruiters like MC can get you to those games too..

It's a balance with the old saying "Sometimes its the Jimmies and Joes and sometimes its the X's and O's.

Go look at previous Oregon teams that did well and they had rosters of future NFL players. I still think the 2005 squad might have had the most amount of future Pros on it at a single time but I'm not sure if one of the 2010-12 teams beat that or not. That's part development/coaching and part recruiting.

I dont think uncle Phil will pay big money to bring Chip back. Chip wasnt the
guy to pal around with boosters. I believe that uncle phil wasnt a fan of his

And we were embarrassed in 2 of those 3 games lol

I guess my point is we got to games as fans we wanted to. We exceeded most fans expectations this year.

Just don't be shocked if we are .500 or worse next year, and struggle to have a good team for a few years. We will lose lots of recruits and will probably have a couple big names transfer.

It's basically going to be 2-3 years of pain, recruiting issues, and transfer portal stops before we're anywhere close to sniffing conference championship levels again, let alone CFP and national title hopes.

Aranda
Petersen
Chip- even though I’m still pissed he told us yes before Willie took the job, only to change his mind.

No other options needed. If it’s Wilcox, I’ll spend more time with the family, camping and stuff. Until he is fired in 3-4 years.

So far it sounds like most guys are sticking around, which is good. Really hope they start the Fr in the bowl game. What do we have to lose? Let’s see what he has.

Well on the first of those (P12) I'd like to think not, but the latter goals yes. A lot will depend on how much the new hire moves the needle and can convince the current players and recruits.

I wonder if Manny Diaz wants to volunteer to coach here? lol

[DuckzRule]

Some people are thinking of choosing Bryan Harsin, but I honestly don't want him, he had a poor record this year despite almost beating Alabama.
