Re: Next Duck Coach
But he's been an OC at the FCS level and had some good success. Being a WR coach at FBS schools are his stepping stones.UofO8 wrote:I'm confused as to why people keep saying Marion, isn't he just the WR coach at Pitt? lolDuck07 wrote:Replace Helfrich with Brennan Marion and I'm on Board.

Re: Next Duck Coach
Some key qualifications I'd look for:
- Not a re-tread
- Solid recruiter
- Known for developing talent
- Views the Oregon job as a "Dream Job" aka doesn't have any other school out there they will leave for. I want someone here for the long haul.

Your first key and last key make it unlikely to find a candidate who wouldn't be an over promotion.DmoneyDuck wrote:Some key qualifications I'd look for:

Not a solid recruiter and didn't view Oregon as the Dream Job so he wouldn't have fit Dmoney's parameters.QuackininBama wrote:To be fair, who didn't say, "WTF?

Joe Brady is available. This might actually be really good timing.

Re: Next Duck Coach
Brady might be a good fit for OC, but what would make him a viable HC candidate? He essentially has 1 good season as a co-OC on his ledger, and just got let go from his gig as OC (albeit NFL, not NCAA). Also, guess where he grew up?

Re: Next Duck Coach
Doesn't the story go in 2003 Urban Meyer's Utah squad beat Oregon 17-13 with an offense that caught coach Bellotti's eye. After a disappointing 2004, where Oregon went 5-6, missed a bowl, and averaged 25.6 points per game, OC Andy Ludwig was fired and Bellotti hired former BYU HC Gary Crowton to put in a spread option based offense.
The next year Oregon went 10-2 and put up 34.5 points per game and Crowton was a Broyles Award finalists for the top assistant coach in the nation. The next year Oregon dropped back to 7-6 and 29.5 points per game, but, Crowton still got hired away to LSU (where he won a NC with Saban in 2007). With the spread option community still being fairly small, Crowton recommended Chip to Bellotti.

Re: Next Duck Coach
Not only does he only have 1 good season as co-OC, it was having one of the best offenses in the history of CFB lol. There's a strong possibility Burrow and co just made him look like an offensive geniusdroop10 wrote:Brady might be a good fit for OC, but what would make him a viable HC candidate?

Re: Next Duck Coach
I think the easiest hire to keep things in tact quickly if Mario leaves would be Joe Moorhead. He can keep most of the staff from a 10 win team and bring in an OC/QB, OL, and TE/ST to his liking.

I am pretty sure Moorhead has already signed with Akron and is gone.pdxduck2013 wrote:I think the easiest hire to keep things in tact quickly if Mario leaves would be Joe Moorhead. He can keep most of the staff from a 10 win team and bring in an OC/QB, OL, and TE/ST to his liking.
