Creepy's Thoughts on Crystal

Jimbo has a recent title going for him. There's that. And the fact that he wasn't run out of town as a head coach like Cristobal was. I'd be happy if I were Texas A&M. Obviously they want to win titles and are willing to pay the money necessary to give themselves a shot, unlike Oregon.YellowSnow said:
Look at Texas A&M - what's the likelihood Jimbo is going to deliver the results they are looking for at $7.5 million x 10 years? There's no lock that that guy is going to win a SEC title. Georgia went the coordinator route and is in the fucking playoff. Miami went the retread route and got damn near the playoff.creepycoug said:
Leave him alone. OBK is winning. He doesn't think coordinator and "assistant types" make good HCs; gotta go with the splash hire. Like the 4th of JueLie!YellowSnow said:
Those types of home run from the get go hires are pretty fucking rare no matter how much money the boosters can pony up. Think about the PAC in say the last 20 years. There have been two: Petersen to UW and Chip Kelly to UCLA. It's not about the money, rather the scarcity of those types of opportunities where all the stars align.oregonblitzkrieg said:
Might be a smart business man but he's a retard about the football program. You want a title, you pay for it -- big money -- to bring in a proven coach like Urban Meyer and make it happen. You don't roll the dice with assistants, pay chump change and expect results.YellowSnow said:Smart bidness men like Uncle Phil don't get rich by throwing money around where there's no probable ROI. Willie was nowhere nearing playing with house money yet.
Knight dropped a half a billion on a science complex just the other day, has thrown hundreds of millions at them on other stuff for the school, cares about sports a lot, but just can't see his way to being on board with the difference between what a Norvell, Tedford, Sumlin or similar guy would cost and Mario Brothers. Just won't do it.
Look genius. People say 'no' to USC all the time, and they have money too. Pete Carroll was, what, their 4th choice? The amount of $$ that it would take to get a guy like Meyer to drop OSU would be beyond staggering, and if it didn't work out, and it doesn't at least as often as it does, you're back to square one.
Arguing Norvell, Sumlin, Tedford, Harsin, etc. is one thing. Whatever that would have cost is a detail to PK. Arguing Saban, Meyer, or some other all-timer is something quite different. I don't think this game is as easy as it must seem to you from your recliner in Eagles Landing Phase IV. -
I trust the Oregon AD.

Jumbo was a career coordinator and position coach before FSU hired him. Then he won a title. That's how that played out. He'll likely never win another one.oregonblitzkrieg said:

The only person in football who didn't think FIU was fs for firing Cristobal was the guy who did it, and even he probably figured it out eventually. -
I like to spend other people's money for them. I like to do that. - OBK/doogie
Part of the deal is that Knight doesn't want to put the UO program into a deficit hole they can't climb out of. It's part of the reason the north side of the stadium hasn't been done yet. The new basketball arena was on life support before Altman got the program hopping again.
You can't pay 105,000 seat salaries with a 60,000 seat stadium. The athletics endowment gives UO more cushion and margin for error than most but you don't spend money just because you have it.
Between ridiculous stadium expansion and crazy salary for Jimbo, AnM could actually be looking at #stadiumdefault even if Fisher does reasonably well. Their AD was subsidized by the academic side as recently as 2014. Fortunately for AnM, they don't really care all that much about the academic side of the university so they will probably just shovel cash from their oil endowment into the AD like OBK wants Oregon to do.
Other than Mike Norvell, there were no good, realistic candidates out there this year. And who knows, maybe Norvell hates Oregon.
Krystal Gayle either succeeds or he doesn't. If not, we fire up the machine in a couple of years with enough time to line up a good set of candidates in a year when Oregon has more than 50 or so kids on scholarship (thanks Mark!). -
Yes, you do. You do spend money just because you have it. It's an advantage Knight and Oregon aren't putting to good enough use. Why drop half a billion (allegedly) on some stupid science center when you can drop half a billion on the football program and buy your way to a national championship...AZDuck said:I like to spend other people's money for them.
