No confidence in Mullens
Every week it seems like a great coach leaves Oregon. First Moorehead and now Deruyter who are both head coaching material. We all know Mullens has a history of settling for a medicore coach so if Oregon was going to have a medicore coach I'd rather hire from within. The fact that all the coaches are fleeing like it's a natural disaster is not a good thing.

Re: No confidence in Mullens
Mullens is arguably the best AD in the country. Almost certainly better at his job than we are at ours.

Re: No confidence in Mullens
This is all because Rob hired Slick Willie years ago. Even those duck023 wasn't a poster here at the time to prove his claims, he claims to have known it was a terrible hire from the get-go and blames Rob; ergo he wants Rob gone in spite of everything else he's done.StevensTechU wrote:Mullens is arguably the best AD in the country.

You have no idea how crazy hard it is to be AD with a booster like Phil Knight.

Re: No confidence in Mullens
Even that one is funny because apparently Willie was the candidate put forward by Tony Dungy. So the ding would be what? That the athletic director shouldn't listen to former Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy about football coaches? Yea, ok.Duck07 wrote:This is all because Rob hired Slick Willie years ago.

Despite the last month going about as terribly as possible, we're in a period of unprecedented success from the athletic department. Facilities are massively upgrading. The cash flow is in good standing. The brand is strong. Like, what else could someone possibly want? (Answer: a football Natty, I know)

Re: No confidence in Mullens
Only knock on Mullens was hiring Helf just cause Chip told him to. But he was new to the position and didn’t want to burn bridges with Chip, so I get it, but that was a really bad decision.

Re: No confidence in Mullens
So you don't want coordinators and position coaches who have the skills and talent to become head coaches? You'd rather have position coaches who have a ceiling with less skills and talent that limits their growth and potential?duck023 wrote:Every week it seems like a great coach leaves Oregon.

Turnover comes with the territory of being successful. And the magnitude of the turnover increases when your head coach leaves, or is that Mullens fault as well?

Re: No confidence in Mullens
You've tried to use this argument like 5 times on me so I think it's time that I educate you on how the internet works. Sometimes people forget their passwords sometimes they say something mean and get banned so they make a new account. I'm not exactly sure what my status was but this isn't my first account on this forum and I also could be talking about the 247 forum because you might not know this but there was a time when there were multiple free Duck forums and 247 weren't so greedy. Either way it's time that you understand the internet and that not everyone keeps their same screen name since the Chip Kelly days.Duck07 wrote:This is all because Rob hired Slick Willie years ago.

Re: No confidence in Mullens
All this delusional positivity and where has it gotten the Duck's. 0 national titles and 2 blow out losses to what was once considered a Mountain West team while losing every single coach on the roster. I saw the Chicago Cub fans will their team through a curse because of how mad they were. However most of you Duck fans are happy being the laughing stock of college football. However I actually care about the Duck's I don't just root for them because they are the team closest to me or whatever crazy reason you guy's that enjoy watching the Duck's lose have. Mullens has provided nothing other than getting himself famous which you guy's seem to think highly of.StevensTechU wrote:Mullens is arguably the best AD in the country.
