Next Duck Coach: DAN LANNING

[SuperDuck]

I really hope they make a strong push for Aranda. Make him say no.

I can't really think of a better, plausible option right now. Make a play for a great OC and see who we can get to stay.

Dom Montiel out of Marshfield should get an Offer now though with how many guys we're going to lose.

There isn't much "tape" on Aranda. He took over someone elses program, and is having great success but he didn't build it. I would feel more comfortable if we could lure Peterson here. You know what are getting.

I'd take either or of Petersen or Aranda.

Regarding their religious beliefs, isn't MC a Christian like Aranda? Isn't Sitake a Mormon? That shouldn't matter in any way. Discrimination based on that could get the UO in a world of trouble.

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.

Plus think of the benefit of hiring Peterson. Boy would that team up north, their heads would explode! That alone is worth whatever money we would pay him.

Joe Brady was OC when he was DC at LSU. I think that would be awesome.

Oh I'm not suggesting that Oregon not take them because of their religion, I'm more suggesting they don't accept Oregon because they've found themselves in good cultural fits.

BYU cannot be easy to recruit to. I think we could lure him away. I would take Sitake, if Primetime says "no".

[SuperDuck]

Here's a name that hasn't been mentioned yet (no, I don't want him).

Gary Patterson, former TCU coach.

He had some truly great teams but was much too inconsistent.

Oh, and a 100% no on Bronco Mendenhall, as well.

Peterson is a temporary fix at best though for those of us who do like him as an option.

I don't think Aranda's religious devotion is an issue at all. For starters, a good portion of players are religious and we've always had our share of LDS players on the team. IF his devotion is an issue it says more about the person who is upset about it than it does about Aranda.

Could not agree more, could be a poly pipeline

Plus he's been at Wisconsin, LSU, Utah State, and a couple other schools that aren't exactly religious-oriented.

I don't understand why people want Chris Peterson. Hiring him pretty much guarantees another coaching search in 2-5 years. Thumbs down.

Goodness sake, no!

Remove Campbell, Wilcox, O'Brien, Avalos, etc.

I really want Aranda.

There isn't a reasonable individual we could hire who upon achieving the success we want wouldn't put us in this same position which is why his name gets thrown out as a means of retaining what we've got going while also being able to step-down in the future with little upheaval for the program/recruits etc.

It's okay that we're a "stepping-stone," that's what college is supposed to be. We have a longer history of quality coaches coming into and out of Oregon than we do our last 25 years as a Program on the field.

We should probably just embrace that image and use it to our advantage in attracting the best coaches, players and staff that we can while letting it prove that Oregon is in fact bigger than any 1 person.

1. Chip Kelly - Is no longer putting effort into winning football games. Dude is just cashing checks. Worst possible outcome.

2. Sitake - Would be a good hire if he is willing to come. There would probably be some culture shock going from BYU to UO.

3. Wilcox - Hasn't been good at Cal. Is a better candidate to be fired than poached.

4. Harsin - Average at Boise State, failed to outperform Petersen. Not great at Auburn. Also a better candidate to be fired rather than poached.

5. Petersen - Why hire a guy who has publicly stated his passion for the game has faded? Also he kept recruiting like G5 coach while at UW. His playoff run had a lot of guys left over from Sark.

6. Campbell - Has turned historical doormat ISU into a respectable program. Also has a track record of winning at Toledo. 2nd reasonable candidate on this list.

7 . Aranda - Biggest name left on board. Although there is a possible culture shock issue.

8. Bill O'Brien - OC at Alabama who is hated by Alabama fans. They might just be spoiled by memories of Kiffen.

9. Avalos - Went 7-5 in his first season at Boise. I want to say he'd be a good fallback option, but he might already have his dream job.


There really aren't a lot of exciting names on that list. And some of them probably aren't realistic hires. Campbell I guess. Hoping for another candidate to emerge.
