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.
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
A 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
its crazy that a reporter would white knight for a coach who went to the same school at the same time as him.
what a coincidence!
but, lipo
You care so much it’s fucking embarrassing.
mike, jesus fucking christ, settle the fuck down, its a goddamn message board for fuck sakes.
and as for 'caring,' some jerkoff poasted tweets about how awesome christobal was despite shit shit record at florida what the fuck ever, coincidentally that reporter went to school and is still friends with christobal.
but yeah, i 'care.'
fuck.
Well you certainly nailed the surname in your message board handle.
I ain't buyin' that Wilcox just turned Oregon down flat unless there's bad blood between the Wilcox family and the program that isn't widely known. Oregon is a better job than Cal. Just for starters. And that's his and his family's school. For another. And nobody is going to win for real at Cal pretty much ever. I simply don't remember a very good Cal team this side of 1991, and as Washington fans know too well, that was a while ago.

Didn’t the Aaron Rodgers team finish in the top 5?
It's an interesting experiment, anyway, to be a decent P5 school and hire a HC primarily for his recruiting ability. I think it's not a good idea, but it'll be interesting.
I'm not so sure. If you structure his contract favorably you get rid of him if he can't coach. Meanwhile, he won't have left the cupboards bare. I don't have a regression analysis in my back pocket, but as between the two variables ... can the guy coach and can the guy recruit, my sense is known recruiters seldom fail to deliver on that skill, while guys who's coaching worked at one place often screw the pooch at the next gig. Happens all the fucking time.
So I go back to my own Iron Law: you need a little luck anyway, so you may as well get comfortable having to likely go through a few hires before getting it right again. If that's the case, it makes sense to take a flyer who can recruit if that's an area of relative weakness for your program. If you're at Florida State, Floria, Miami, Texas, LSU, etc., you don't fall all over yourself for the ace recruiter.
Whatever else can be said, I'm not looking around at who else was available and thinking, "wow, you guys really fucked up." There may have been some choices that would make sense to the conventional crowd, but those guys don't accept the Iron Law. And having an up and down time of it at FIU means next to nothing. That's a program that gets kicked off the field when women's field hockey is ready to practice.

Which I known many felt was too high.
Yep. The 2004 team. That's right. So 1991 and 2004. I think winning big or consistently there is far and away the exception to the rule.

Or only shit human beings take a job, put together a staff, and then bail after 12 months

This 100000x. Which is why Wilcox and Brohm weren't realistic options.

@Mosster47 - no longer seems to care.
@oregonblitzkrieg - still cares.
@MikeSeaver - cares more than ever.
Either way I’m not happy.
