This Will Not Be a Popular Opinion

Yeah but if Cristoballz can do it, so can Jimmy. As Dennis said, it’s not complicated.GrundleStiltzkin said:He just won the conference so unpopular or not, it just is.
Meanwhilst, we* had a coach quit on us and we hired a coach with no HC experience.
I’m just impressed by Whoregon’s pre- and in-game coaching. They outschemed us (not hard) in the second half and did the same to Utah all night long. And shit, for the first time watching football, they actually make me think the Pistol is an effective strategy. RBs hit the holes with so much speed. -
Jimmy can, but Jimmy never has. I think most here like Jimmy, I do. But his inexperience is a simple fact.Beno4Life said:

Counterpoint: Whittingham is NOT a solid coach. You’re right about our conference being a joke, though.
God help us if Jimmy tanks and Jen keeps him around long enough to blow up the program again. -
I'm not convinced. We'll see how good Oregon is next year when they have to replace their supposed all-world QB, 4/5th's of their O-line, their best tight end, 3 starting linebackers, and potentially more players on their D if they decide to leave early.
Cristobal inherited a very experienced roster... he hasn't proven he can build anything yet.
The Pac-12 was fucking awful this year and Oregon could only beat UW by 4 and WSU by 3... and lost to a crappy ASU team when everything was on the line. You think Clemson, Alabama, Ohio St, Georgia, Oklahoma lose to fkn ASU? Please.
And don't get me started on Utah... their non-co sucks and their best games played were a loss to USC and scratching by UW. Overrated all year... any other year where the Pac 12 doesn't blow ass this Utah squad is a 7-8 win team. -
It's hard to understand the Jimmy hire because there's no track record. Most coaching hires fail. So the baseline always has to be that he's going to fail and that's why the default stance must always be guilty until proven innocent.GrundleStiltzkin said:

However, outside of that, with a little context it's not hard to understand why Jimmy might actually be really good... he's got a bit more in common with Lincoln Riley, Ed O, Dabo, Mario and Kirby than most.
If we can just have 50% Pete culture and 50% 'we want to sign kids who are scary and beat your ass' culture, we should be great. Jimmy's not fucking David Shaw, that's for sure. -
We have a brain trust? On twitter, right?Crow_T_Robot said:
Cristobal basically has the most obvious stance possible but the brain trust around our program can't fucking agree that the color red is red.GrundleStiltzkin said:He just won the conference so unpopular or not, it just is.

IS IT REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE TALENT AND AN ALPHA MENTALITY AND HAVE SCHMES THAT MAXIMIZE PLAYER TALENT?!?!?
Hmmm... :::::::sound of a thousand Doogs trying to figure out how to say going 7-5 in year 6 is actually a triumph:::::: -
Not convinced as in "they didn't win the Pac-12 this year" or what?BroadcastingDawg said:I'm not convinced.

Cristobal came in and gleefully played the recruiting game (which we've been begging Pete to do for years), said and then instituted a physical, run-first culture, played his talent, openly called Petersen a racist and then beat him down when Petersen had a chance to shut him up on the field. He also scared Petersen out of the sport. Then he won the P12 ship in a blowout and has Oregon in the Granddaddy a few years after 4-8.
Yeah. I'm thinking I'm not taking much umbrage with the OP. You'll excuse me while I vomit. -
He takes OL play seriously, plus he won the conference. He was the best coach in the conference this year
-
They won the Pac, but if you think our conference champion is on the same tier as the best teams down south you are probably a mouth breathing doog retard as well.
