Very true man. Makes me realize how lucky my Dwags are having one of the best coaches in college ball.Mosster47 said:

This is a reasonable conclusion. Look, Cristoballz could be great. Who knows. Not an inspiring hire, and I think if you look at percentages of failed previous HC's brought up from the assistant ranks the chances are against Oregon, but he could turn out to be great. Small chance, but a chance. Key is Mullens shitcanning this guy quick if results are less than optimal and pulling a big name then. I know I'd be pissed if I were a Duck, but most of eSuck is rejoicing. Then again, most of eSuck are dumb fucking donkeys.ntxduck said:LIPO.
This hire is only a failure if Mullens doesn't have the stones to pull the trigger on firing Cristobal in 2 years if this isn't panning out (which is very possible since Mullens is a huge pussy). In 2 years, there will be way better outside options available (the next Matt Campbell or maybe even actual Matt Campbell once he realizes that Iowa State has a very finite ceiling).
Not thrilled, but there's really no options out there. I prefer giving Cristobal 2 years and seeing what he can do, while pulling in good classes, over giving Leach/Sumlin/Wilcox 4 years and then starting from ground zero in 2022. But once again, this will all come down to how short of a leash Mullens is going to give him and the program.
LIPO.
Seriously, how often does that happen? Ever? What is a great coach? Michigan jerks off in their sleep over a guy that never sniffed an NC and ran off the guy who won their only modern one for winning nine games and crushing Tebow in their bowl his Heisman year.
There are three great coaches in college football and four dance spots. I don't give a fuck who anyone hires, your shot at making it outside of those three programs are slim. Then you have to account for ND who makes their own schedule, Oklahoma who plays no one, and ESPN trying to push two SEC teams every year for ratings.
I hate to break it to UW fans, but you already got the best you're ever going to get out of Petersen. He doesn't recruit well enough and Lake will be gone soon.
The 117 team rat race to grab that fourth spot is making the sport a shit show.
Sad.
It's just fucking ridiculous to see all these programs trying to hire the next Nick, Urbs, or Dabo because there is zero margin for error anymore.
Kevin Sumlin getting fired is a prime example. aTm starts out in 3rd place in their region every year in everything behind OU and Texas. Then, they get to go play Bama, LSU, and Auburn every year with the potential to play either Florida or Georgia as well. The guy goes 51-26 at a place Bear Bryant couldn't sniff a championship at but that's not good enough. It's fucking delusional. It's only going to get worse too. You're going to have guys like Willie Taggart who have literally done nothing in their careers getting $5+M a year and big time jobs only because they haven't fully proven they aren't a Nick, Urbs, or Dabo yet. -

LIPO.RE: Mario Cristobal/Oregon> Just how bleak were things at FIU when he took over? There was no film library. No academic support system. He inherited a woeful APR & the program was going on academic probation, so they couldn’t have full recruiting classes: https://t.co/ISAvVzoLPh
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 8, 2017A few thoughts on Mario Cristobal. 1. Took over, BY FAR, the worst FBS situation I've ever seen (FIU).. led them to a bowl win 4 yrs later; 2. Not sure there is a better recruiter in the country anywhere. 3. His teams will be very physical. MORE: https://t.co/ISAvVzoLPh
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 8, 2017
This at least explains his poor record at FIU. They were also 1-23 the previous 24 games before he was hired. Definitely underwhelming, but Wilcox, Leach, Sumlin, etc. would have caused the existing class to crumble, and they aren't terrific coaches anyhow. Cristobal can at least hold most of the class together. If he performs like Slingblade, then he gone. The good news is, Oregon can afford to pay him less than Sumlin, Leach, Wilcox, etc. which they can use to pay more to keep and hire top notch assistants.
If Oregon is trying to save money on a head coach so they can pay assistants more, they’re losers and they’re fucked. They have Phil Knight money. Get a good coach and pay assistants. Abundance.
I'm not saying their intent was to save money, it's a just an opportunity created by the situation. -
Peterman is a damn good coach, but you guys will turn on him soon. That team last year is the most talent he will ever have and he would have lost to Bama 100 times out of 100.Ice_Holmvik said:

In 10 years if all he has to show are a couple conference titles and one playoff raping he will be Mike Bellotti. Shaw ain't leaving and Helton doesn't suck so that looks to be a very realistic future. -

welp boys we hired a coach with an obvious ceiling to salvage a GOOD recruiting class, hope our AD has the stones to fire him in a few years when there are more tier 1-2-3 candidates out there. -

When the fuck has going safe ever worked out? Go big or go home is the only motto that ever fucking worked.greenblood said:
Oregon was more concerned about keeping the current recruiting class together than the long term. Also, coaching hires is like a pendulum. When you hire a hard ass and wears out his welcome, schools hire a player's coach, then when the team gets too out of control, they higher another hard ass. In this case it was about loyalty. Mullens wanted somebody he knew would stick around if successful.dnc said:

Sumlin wasn't a lock to stay here long term. There was a chance he would also go south if given another opportunity. Mullens didn't want to get burned again, so he went safe. We'll see if it works out... -
There was this one time, Oregon hired an OC with 2 years' experience at D1, and before that he was a lifer at some podunk school in New England.oregonblitzkrieg said:

Not saying Crystal Gayle is Chip Kelly, don't twist -
If we hired a coach to save a recruiting class I would kill myself. And this is coming from a guy who just got done looking at 2021 hudl.Swaye said:Wow. It actually happened. Okay then. Shit is right with the world again. We have a legit Top 5 coach and are going to the Fiesta Bowl, and they are circling the drain hiring failed assistants to lead Nike U. I always knew Oregon would suck again, I just didn't know it would be so soon.
All to save a recruiting class. Jesus. Fail.
At least the “lunatic fringe” of Husky fans went to the mattresses to try to bring the program back, sad to see Oregon fans just roll over and take it. SAD! -

I was resigned to the depressing plight of the situation once the Taggart to FSU rumors popped up. It is what it is. I'm less depressed than if we made a long term and large financial commitment to Black Sark or Leach, though.Gladstone said:
