How can this be? I hear Crystalballs was a terrible coach, and after the Oregon rejected Saban's, Myer's, Swinney's begging to get the Duck job they selected the real best coach in the country.
After much thought and prayer with the family and a good night of deep sleep, I have informed AD Mullens that I would be passing on the Oregon job offer.
247 polled 30+ coaches across the country asking which assistants were ready for the next level.
Lanning #1.
He probably should have took a MWC job. Test out the training wheels first.
Relax, nobody thinks this is a bad hire. 95% of this board would have rather seen Wilcox be Oregon's coach next year hands down.
UW fans would've been happier if Oregon had tied itself to a known anchor rather than a likely one. Thsts for sure. Lanning makes me a little nervous, but also raises the possibility of a bigger collapse. Either way he's more interesting and that's also why I favored Wilcox.
Chip was never offered and Wilcox wad only offered with conditions it was known would be turned down as he doesn't put in the effort that is required to be a top guy.
Also the lane train blew up before leaving the station as Phil didn't want him and you have to trust a billionaire on that one.but lane did want the job.

That’s a mistake. Going to kick themselves over that.

I was full on Kiffen but that’s a guy that could leave in the middle of the night. I can understand not wanting to go there when you have to make the real life decision.
Still holding my breath on Lanning. I think it’s a very dangerous hire.
It’s great he’s a people person and everyone wants to run through a brick wall for him on a Tuesday afternoon… But this guy has never had to call a timeout at the right time let alone have 5 voices coming through his headset all at once on 2nd and 8 from his own 16, down 10 points in the third.
I think it’s far more likely this isn’t going to work out, than it is.

So, you were team Wilcox?
I'd rather shoot for potential and crash and burn, than hire what a know, which is mediocre.

Literally said team Kiffen in the post.
Didn’t realize Wilcox and Lanning were our only options.

Apparently Kiffin was an option. But Oregon can’t handle the heat.

I felt the same way after CK’s first game at Boise. There are successful OC’s to HC examples across CFB. By year 3 the verdict will be in.
He’s hired a couple highly regarded young coordinators. They can also recruit. Especially OC Dillingham. Seven announced he was going to portal. One meeting with DL and DJ and he reversed course.
I’m guessing he was told of Dillingham coming aboard. Seven is an electric player. I’m guessing they’re not going to waste his talents.

It shouldn’t take 3 years with this roster. 3 years is when a guy comes it to fix a program. We knew CK was good after about 6-7 games.
We’ll know by mid season or we’ll blame the quarterback.
By year three clarification. Before not during or after. He gets two years to mold his roster. He will win with what’s there. I’m expecting a serious playoff contender after two. I’m trying to be realistic here.
We will see how “talented” this roster really is over the next two years. Either it was vastly overrated or MC and staff were that bad.

I suppose that’s your opinion. I will known in year one as I always do and let you all know as I always do.
Chip was never offered and Wilcox wad only offered with conditions it was known would be turned down as he doesn't put in the effort that is required to be a top guy.
