    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    True - but it was only due to you getting cuk blocked by Tongue Wilcox and probably Toad Kelly.

    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.

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