I was hoping for a denial that there were discussions with Auburn, either personally or through his agent, where they said something that could be construed as "interest." But I'm just paranoid because of the way it went with the last two coaches (and CK). I assume that he has made his status clear right away with our 5 star QB and WR recruits; sharks are circling on those two.
We're excited about the Vegas Bowl, Baby!
Not at all like Slick or MC trying to deny his alma mater.
I can’t remember who it was but one of the talking heads recently made the statement that they thought Oregon was one of the jobs that most “runs itself.” It’s something I’ve become convinced of as we’ve stayed relevant, and highly competitive, despite plenty of turmoil over the last number of years. The Oregon athletic department is so well run that it props coaches up and makes them look better than they really are.
What was so great about Lanning’s comments was that he’s humble enough to recognize that. Guys like Taggart and Cristobal were convinced all the success was due to their own talent, and assumed they could easily replicate it elsewhere. Lanning’s humility and self-awareness is very refreshing.

I agree, Lanning is a very refreshing change, his humility and his offense, willing to take chances and through some trick plays in also, plus he knows the importance of experience, get the young guys playing time……. Cristabol????
Do I know distractions or do I know what a distraction is. Next time don't even question me. If I say you guys are distracting the team on a winning streak take some money to vegas and bet against the Ducks because I said the same thing before the Utah games.

Our whole secondary must have been considering the Auburn job….

You said in another thread Oregon had the game in the bag until the bad snap in the fourth quarter. So you believe Forsyth, the senior, hurting his shoulder on that drive was due to coaching rumors? Fans on the internet? Maybe that’s what caused Whittington to slip.
Go back to talking about your dream Sugar and Alamo bowls.

Oh stop it. Fans on a message board didn't distract the team. They were likely hearing about that and the CFP rankings from a bunch of places as they don't exactly live in bubbles.
