Thank you 21 for posting. If we thought as fans WE were frustrated, imagine a player? Mycah lays it all out and its worth watching.mrpd21 wrote:Mycah posted a somewhat lengthy video on why he left Oregon:

I don't have time to watch it right now, has anyone seen it and could you kindly summarize? Guessing NOT passing is a huge part of it.

Re: Mcyah video, a must watch
That seems like confirmation that Mario was to blame for the bad offense, at least most of the blame, more than Moorhead and Brown. I said it during the conference championship game that I think we’re better off with Mario in Miami and that really seems true after watching that video. Miami’s mess of an athletic department deserves the mess that is Mario’s offense. Don’t think that will go well.
Now if Moorhead did a similar video I wonder what he’d say, cause it seems like Mario limited his offensive schemes and it frustrated him as well.

Thanks for the feedback. Pretty telling and honestly if so, this feels like a good time to move on and install something new.

Well, he’s at least got the ego of an NFL receiver

Wow. Interesting and respectful as he could be under the circumstances.

Definitely feel for Micah. I can see MC’s face as Mycah tells him how to run his offense…

I haven't watched it yet, but read an article about his visit to FSU and part of him he said how loyal he was and thought that was pretty funny. Maybe it's different after watching the video.

He might have stayed until the new coach was hired so now he is likely stuck with his decision. MC was a piss poor passing coach and it cost the team.

Re: Mcyah video, a must watch
I'll summarize for those who don't want to watch
He wanted to red-shirt early in the season so he didn't waste a year of eligibility with AB at QB. The coaches talked him out of that, the inference being they told him they were going to balance out the offense more, which they didn't.
After that, not knowing that Mario would be leaving he decided he'd never get a chance to showcase his talents because of Mario's run heavy offensive philosophy. So he decided to transfer at the end of the season.
The WSU game he got no targets and then got hurt. He then decided that he would have a better chance to land a good spot in the transfer pool derby if he stayed healthy so he quit.
He basically said what we all suspected. The WRs felt they weren't being used in play calling and then when passes were called AB checked down even though the WRs were open. Our OCs operate within the constraints of Mario's offensive philosophy. He was not the only WR that was not happy about this.
Coach Dan really needs to give some attention to WR retention because I suspect there are a number of WRs with one foot out the door. I wonder if he is aware of that there was discontent in that group.

Re: Mcyah video, a must watch
Typically I always think guys should do what’s best for the team but as frustrated as I was as a fan, I can’t imagine how frustrating it was for him. Particularly the way Cristobal refuses to adjust, and is so tied to his way of doing things.
Few things are more frustrating than trying to work with people who insist on doing things their way, even when it obviously isn’t working.

I’m guessing Dan’s been fully briefed on the WR issues.GrandpaDuck wrote:I'll summarize for those who don't want to watch

Re: Mcyah video, a must watch
Pitman wants to make a run at the NFL. On a team where we had a glut of WR talent that are primarily used for blocking, I see his point. I think he is a talented receiver and wish him well.
