"Christ, relax. All you reactionaries need a bj and a steak. This is one loss. Look at the loss we dropped last year to MSU. If we don't shit the bed against wsu we are in the p12 championship. No doubt in my mind we are better than Nebraska. The future is bright!"
Oregon can still win the conference!
Oregon can still win the conference! I hope Colorado skull-fucks us just so I can be right
@Mosster47 , five years to drop to 7-5? You sound like a Husky fan Circa 2001. Without a change at the top, the ducks defense is a sign of things to come, as is the drop off in QB's behind Dakota Fanning. What did the 2015 ducks look like without a functioning VAJ? That drop off to 7-5 or worse happens this year if North Dakota gets broken. If he stays healthy, they will compete for the north and Helf probably keeps his job for another year. Welcome to hell.
I know you want to hit the panic button, but the most important thing right now is coaching continuity...
You will remember there was a group of us on eDuck that hated the hire to begin with because Slingblade wasn't hired because anyone thought he was a good coach. He was hired to hopefully keep what Chip had going and win a title with Mariota. When people like Bobby Petrino exist and you have Phil Knight's check book you don't gamble. It almost worked, Mariota won the Heisman, the Ducks smashed FSU in the playoffs, and ran into a buzz saw in the final. Chip wasn't beating Negro Tebow either. When the other team always converts the short yardage you're toast. Fast forward to now, year four, which was longer than ANYONE involved in the process was ever looking to see how Slingblade would do and it's not great. I see Brady Hoke as great hire to run the defense, but it was two years too late. Slingblade hired Pellum because he didn't have the balls to tell the position guys they didn't have what it takes to coordinate. Rich Brooks knew it, Mike Bellotti knew it, Chip Kelly knew it, and Slingblade fucks it up. Pellum runs the defense into the ground and no matter who is hired they have a three year project in front of them. Scott Frost leaves, Slingblade does zero due diligence and hires a guy that only has the job he is in because of his dad. He goes from a somebody's kid, to WR coach, to OC with zero experience at what was a Top 10 program. That doesn't happen at a Top 10 program. Then he realizes the mistake and hires David Yost who has an infinitely better resume to coach the QB's but take shots from the guy who is in over his head by default. So, you have a guy that shouldn't be running the offense calling plays and a different guy that should be calling the offense telling the QB how to run the offense. Tom Osbourne (not the good one) has and will always be a mediocre at best special teams coordinator. When Dirk Koetter doesn't want you then you're not Oregon material. Oregon will be a 7-5 program in five years if nothing changes. They waited too long to let Mike go once his wife and kids started hitting the sauce but lucked out when he hired Chip. Lightning doesn't strike twice.

Lightning doesn't strike twice. Let's face it, someone in that coaching staff thought it was a great idea to offer a scholarship to a 5'8" corner when in most games he'll be defending a 6'2" WR. Umadi can have perfect coverage and still not have a chance to make a play on the football.
