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?

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?
I'm willing to bet anybody 100 dollars that Moorehead is better than the coach Mullen's ends up hiring. I'll throw Deruyter in there too. I'm hoping I'm wrong but I remember Mullen's last decision and how he hired a candidate I've never heard of from South Florida and that guy went 7-6 and went on to his dream job.

Maybe. Both have about a .500 record coaching at the FBS level though. Not sure what is warranting that claim.

I'm also going to point out your logo looks more like the Miami Stork than an Oregon Duck so no wonder you think Mullens is a great AD. He gave you a coach.

I felt they could have kept the assistant coaches around who were pretty solid. Now it looks like a complete clean house and the Duck's will have the start from scratch.

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.
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.
This board has almost 15 years of experience and was developed out of the dying ashes of the old Oregonlive forums->chat4quacks->ducksattack

The great thing about this forum among other things is that we can go look up old threads and see how people reacted at the time.

Nobody thought that Slick Willie was going to reveal himself the way he did nor could anyone predict that Florida State would go bonkers for a coach that just went 7-5. If you want to hold onto this grudge against Rob for Slick Willie that's your prerogative, but know that nobody is going to take your claim seriously at this point. It's old news. If you want Rob gone fine, but it isn't a widely held opinion.

I feel I should be allowed a little gloom and doom since I had to hear about how Cristobal was leaving the whole year and how the Duck's weren't a good enough offensive team to make a legit run etc.

I just want Mullens to show me why he should be the AD by hiring someone who is Oregon's quality. Slick Willie might have made a nice UC Davis coach so it was obvious that was the bad decision. I do get what you are saying about old threads etc that is why I didn't bother you about it earlier because I do think people that have remembered their password for 15 years do deserve some credit and pull on this forum.

I don't think either of those guys would prevent Wilson from wanting a head coaching position or Deruyter for wanting to make $350k more a year. Just saying...

Just because we hire Moorhead or Deruyter, doesn't mean assists won't leave. Additionally, I don't think that would be in my top tier of factors if I were determining who should be the next head coach.

My bad, I was half way joking because I've seen that guy before and I thought he was a Miami fan way before this Critobal stuff happened. However I'll admit after further review that is a Duck and I'm sure he is a loyal Duck fan.

You were right even before the UCLA game you were right and Cristobal was leaving and I didn't want to accept that. I'll admit you were right and I was wrong when it came to Cristobal leaving.

I was the most positive about Cristobal on this forum. I'll give you guy's credit for understanding Cristobal was leaving around the Cal game while I tried to stay positive. Now it's time for me to be cynical because I don't like the way Oregon hires coaches. I felt WSU with their Mike Leach hire has shown more guts than Oregon has shown when it comes to hiring coaches.
