Lanning needs to stop trying to hire mirror images of him. It’s time to bring in some proven offensive coaches that can build an identity. No more Stein experience, we need a real OC that understands how to utilize talent. I hope he doesn’t promote Mehringer.

Hey, not everyone can do this job, it is what it is. But he has yet to show us he can perform at the highest level.
I just don't think you can build the whole plane out of Moore. He's not THAT good. With the running backs out, that's what we attempted/had to do here.

Ducks are young compared to Indy, but getting bludgeoned, not putting up a fight? Getting blown out at this point of the season? Coaching sucked this game. It’s on all the coaches. The talent is there, as the record indicates.droop10 wrote: Fri Jan 09, 2026 7:13 pmOr Mendoza has 14 more career starts, which may make some difference.dthomas=ddixon wrote: Fri Jan 09, 2026 7:08 pm This is on the coaches. Insert any college QB and we’d be having the same issues.
Mendoza was a 2* and just pretty good at Cal, but Indiana has made him into a real star. That’s what elite coaching does.

Dude, yes, Moore is sucking, but this is the product of Will Stein, the most overrated OC in Oregon football history.QuackininBama wrote:I'm done with Moore. Kid chokes every single time.

EVERY SINGLE TIME! Meaning he has had 2 bad games that cost them in his first full season as a starter. Huge sample. Does every single time only count games he loses and we ignore the games he plays well in? Trying to figure out how we define a “time.”QuackininBama wrote: Fri Jan 09, 2026 7:18 pm I'm done with Moore. Kid chokes every single time.

Expected a dumpster fire in here after the first half. I see the usual suspects confirming that. Rational as always.

Hopefully new OC will focus more on fundamentals rather than fancy, trick plays. You have 4+ star players you should not need trick plays as much. Look forward to some wholesale offensive changes next year.

Sorta but not entirely? I think we'd be in better shape if Oregon had Mendoza and Indiana had Moore. But that wouldn't change the fact that Indiana is destroying us at the LOS.dthomas=ddixon wrote: Fri Jan 09, 2026 7:16 pmAre you agreeing with me? Not sure what your point is. As I said, he was just ok before Indiana.wepto wrote: Fri Jan 09, 2026 7:12 pmMendoza won the Heisman, even if the award is flawed, Mendoza is one of the top 5 players overall in CFB. Can't rely a HS evaluation once a guy has game experience in college. Not everybody develops at exactly the same rate.dthomas=ddixon wrote: Fri Jan 09, 2026 7:08 pm This is on the coaches.

Mendoza being a 2* says more about the talent evaluators than it does about Mendoza. They still have bad misses (the evaluators do) despite how much they insist that scouting has advanced tremendously.

Trying to reason with the game thread unhinged is pointless.bdkipe wrote:Are we really calling to move on from Moore?
Maybe step away from the keyboard for a few y’all.
These beat downs aren’t fun but the meltdowns the board has had this year are otherworldly.
This is a young, young, young team and a QB that needed his confidence rebuilt after a terrible year at UCLA. We are still learning and growing as a program.
The sun will come up tomorrow. I promise.
Go Ducks!

And you are here to only comment on other posters, not the game. Say what you want but the biggest dumpster fire has been from our Oregon Ducks tonight.Bigwaved wrote:Expected a dumpster fire in here after the first half. I see the usual suspects confirming that. Rational as always.

Nope. Outside of the game thread dumpster fire over reactions, there is some rational and sane conversation.wepto wrote:You never have anything to add but insults.

Guys, what’s the point of investing every Saturday for 1/4 of the year for us to get blown out without a fight. Second time in a row. Help me not lose hope as a duck fan.

He cannot handle pressure and does really dumb stuff even here at the end of the season. So what to do in the second half? It is already an embarrassing blowout. I feel like barfing.
