Re: Next Duck Coach
Helton was 14-7 in his last 21 games at USC and only lost to one sub .500 / non-ranked team. USC fired him.
Yet at Oregon, Mario goes 14-6 in his last 20 games, losses to 3 sub .500 teams, and the fans want to give him $8M/year.
Laughable. Maybe we should call Helton???

I said Peterson with Lake - not Lake by himself. Big difference.Alan wrote:Yes literally sick, not because of his one sideline incident but his hot headed antics in general, plus he was a loser short term coach for Washington. If the Ducks can’t hire better than Lake the fans are in for a long sad road.GDuck wrote:Literally sick? Wow. There is no way UW would’ve fired him if his team had been doing well based off of that incident alone. I live in the Seattle area and hear all about it. Not that I’d be sad I he didn’t come with Peterson, but I think he is a good coach who made a decent mistake and maybe could learn from it. He will be back coaching at some point.Alan wrote:I would literally get sick if Lake comes to Oregon in any capacity.GDuck wrote:Chris Peterson!! Maybe bring Lake with him? Would love to see Huskies reaction to that.
I wonder what is causing Scott Frost to stumble (fail) he did well at UCF, they had a quick turnaround

Re: Next Duck Coach
Panthers fired Joe Brady of the Joe Burrow/LSU NC team.
Certainly would seem to fit the bill for a QB centric Offensive coach.

Re: Next Duck Coach
I know what you said, I will say this plainly for you……. I don’t want Lake on campus as anything other than a visiting assistant coach. There is nothing I like about Lake but some things I dislike.GDuck wrote:I said Peterson with Lake - not Lake by himself.

I won't actually mind that but it's surprising.

Re: Next Duck Coach
Okay, agree to disagree on this then. Peterson is my first choice and who he would bring I would trust him in that - whether Lake is included or not.Alan wrote:I know what you said, I will say this plainly for you…….

Re: Next Duck Coach
It’s more than that. We’re going to lose a lot of assistants, which will negatively impact recruiting and will hurt our current team development.northbeachsf wrote:Helton was 14-7 in his last 21 games at USC and only lost to one sub .500 / non-ranked team. USC fired him.

Next two years are gonna be reset years. Even if you don’t like MC, we were in the title game 3 years in a row. That won’t happen now.

Re: Next Duck Coach
It'd also really hurt if there are a ton of transfers. This team was primed for a CFP run in the near future and now it might not happen, especially with Riley in the conference.UOducksTK1 wrote:It’s more than that.

Re: Next Duck Coach
Being somewhat realistic, my top gets would be:
Matt Campbell
Kalani Sitake
Chip Kelly
Tony Elliott- excellent recruiter and with QB's
Brennan Marion- longshot, but runs a nice offense
Jeff Lebby- another offensive coach longshot
Greg Roman- mixes pro style and hurry up

Re: Next Duck Coach
Chip Kelly coming back would be a disaster and Clemson fans would actively cheer if we hired Elliot. Their offense has been historically bad this year and DJU has regressed so much its laughable. He's an awful OC that was covered up by having two different generational QB's back to back. Lebby is a good OC but he also a massive piece of s*** so there's that.thatbpguy wrote:Being somewhat realistic, my top gets would be:

Re: Next Duck Coach
Sounds like he genuinely can’t decide ha. These coaching changes are always such a disaster.

Re: Next Duck Coach
My personal dream scenario: Oregon hires Peterson and then he calls up his buddy Helfrich to be O.C. and Helf is free to say yes now that all vestiges of the coaching staff that replaced him are gone. Both guys become Oregon lifers and lead the Ducks to a national championship, and everyone lives happily ever after.

Re: Next Duck Coach
Replace Helfrich with Brennan Marion and I'm on Board. I still think best case if you get Peterson is a few years of his services before doing this again though.Phalanx wrote:My personal dream scenario: Oregon hires Peterson and then he calls up his buddy Helfrich to be O.C. and Helf is free to say yes now that all vestiges of the coaching staff that replaced him are gone.
