    A decent possibility is enough to justify a hire of a coach who has never succeeded anywhere?

    Wouldn't you prefer to look at guys where the "decent possibility" is actually demonstrated by something that has actually happened?
    I want Oregon to make the worst hire possible. If that's Wilcox, great. I just have a gut feeling that he's not the worst they can do. He's generally regarded as a good coach. I don't hold his successes/lack of successes at Cal as much of a barometer. Have you been to a game at Cal? If it got any more exciting a funeral would break out. It's not a great gig, he's hamstrung, he wants out in the worst way, and he has 1/10th the resources he would at Oregon. He's not a hype man and he's not the type to make a jump after 2 years to the NFL. He's a good dude with substance. Cristobal is a used car salesman. Remember, Oregon was at their best with the Bellotti/Kelly tree. They weren't getting top 5 classes, but they were a program with amazing stability and coaching. I see Wilcox as being the type to establish that type of stability over time (if he's any good, of course). Y'all may want Wilcox to Oregon based on his Cal history but I'm not convinced that he wouldn't be successful at O. Just a gut feeling.

    He actually could be. I don't think it's a high probability, but I see your main point. I mean there are mega resources there, and if he could luck into or find a really quality innovative offensive mind he could maybe do some damage there. I'd have hated him at UW, but there is a different dynamic there.

    The one thing that would worry me as a Duck fan (and you alluded to this arguing the other way though) is his "stable" (read that as boring) type mentality. Oregon has always been loud, garish and new money rich. It's a huge part of their persona. That is not Wilcox. So I appreciate you thinking he might "fix" that in a sense, but I think fixing it would break them. It's a 2nd tier school in a shithole town. What makes them get top 10 recruiting classes is the new money swagger.

    Just my thoughts. On balance, I hope like fuck UO hires Wilcocks because I think there is a 10% chance or less he kills it. But there is a chance.
    He’s Mario 2.0 w/o the recruiting. Absolute wrong choice which is why Mullins will hire him.

    I'm the opposite of triggered, I just didn't understand that post at all. It was just a bunch of meaningless dross sentences slapped together. I agree that Wilcox (or almost anyone) could conceivably work out. Their AD gives a fuck about winning, and that goes a long way.

    Now explain what "might be less about the glitzy glamorous Oregon hype machine" means because I'm genuinely curious. Let's start there and then move to some of your other sentences.

    See: Mario Cristobal, Willie Taggart

    I didn't think this was too difficult to understand but I'll try and make it a little easier for you to digest. I fear a good (maybe?) stable (maybe?) coach who wants to be there with resources more than a used car salesman. See: Bellotti, Chip (before he went pro).

    Do you understand my point now or would you like me to draw a picture?

    Didn't realize suggesting Wilcox could be a good hire for Oregon was so triggering. What a bunch of fags.

    Wilcox would be a GREAT hire…


    For Washington

    There must be at least 80 coaches out there, who are attainable for Oregon, who have more to show on their resume than Justin Wilcox. The only reason he is even mentioned for new or upcoming vacancies is because he has connections to the schools in question and because when it comes right down to it, ADs and even fans are so cowardly about trying someone new that they're more comfortable rationalizing "safe" mediocrity in their hires. When it came right down to it the majority of UW fans here even started to turn that way before the AD somehow stumbled into making the bold, correct choice.

    The unwillingness to branch out reminds me of incest. I'm not sure if that nerdy chick is actually smoking hot or not, so I'm just going to screw my cousin who I already know is back to a solid 5 after her third kid.

    Who is attainable? All the big fish have been caught. I can't believe I'm debating who Oregon should hire. I just want whoever is going to fail miserably. I want another Taggart.

    Dan Mullins

    They just had his Miss State replacement at OC, I'm not sure they try that again.

    Oregon recruits itself at this point whether we like it or not. And the staff does most of the dirty work and there's no world where Oregon wouldn't shell out big bucks for assistants. Pretty sure Wilcox would still pull in top 15 classes. He would out-recruit DeBoer right now. The fact that Eugene is a rest stop doesn't matter. It's all Phil and Nike.

    Nike and PK recruits for Oregon. Who ever they get will recruit fine. The notion that MC is such an outstanding recruiter is a myth. I could recruit to Oregon just as well. Money talks.

    You think it's that big of a game changer?

    SC didn't have Lincoln Riley when Helfrich was there either.

    I would argue NIL levels the playing field
