I hope this doesn't mean more than what it is. Not interested in him entertaining the HC position...though smarter people than me are on the case so I'd love to be wrong if this means more than just a temp thing.

Zero chance of Moorhead becoming the Oregon HC. He's staying for the 100K bonus he gets for coaching in a bowl game.

Thanks for your response and I can't fault the man for that.

I guess we’ll find out how much Mario was holding back Moorehead.

In the new contracts there should be a clause that if a coach is not on staff 1-2 months after the bowl game, he will only receive his bowl game bonus at that time if the team won the bowl game.
I'd rather not have a coach who is planning on leaving do a half a** job prepping just to get the bonus, while his mind is already on his new gig and tasks.

Won’t matter unless we have a QB who can complete passes longer than 5-10 yards.

Fixed it.

... sit a QB who can't hit a wide open receiver streaking down the middle of the field?
Perish the thought! (Grandma used to say that, but she was a Oregon State fan... )

At the very least they need to rotate QBs. It’s basically an exhibition game at this point so just have some fun with it.

Personally I’d like to see them give each of the backups 1/3 of the game. If there’s clear separation between 2 and 3 give 1 and 2 a half each (this pretty much would guarantee that the 3 transfers). Brown seems like a good dude. I would think he would be willing to help the young guys prep for the game.

My thought on the QBs is to let TT and JB get the most reps and give AB a few Goal-line packages.
I'm far more concerned about the body language of the players and how they have fun more than a Win or Loss.

I don’t think we should count Ashford out just yet, if he’s healthy.

fully agree with giving the backups reps in this game. AB doesn't guarantee a win and even if we win, I don't think many fans and recruits and players would care. There is almost no upside with starting AB. Now if one of the backups balls out, that could help us immensely. At the very least, playing in a bowl game will give them valuable game time reps and experience for development, that our QB will need when he faces Georgia next year.

Yep, this is a great opportunity to move on from AB. Let's see what the young kids can do when a stout defense is in their face. Absolutely nothing to lose at this point.
