We should have paid Miami to take Mario off our hands

    So Lanning is only winning with Cristobol players?

    @creepycoug

    I know I know Lanning has a top 10 class

    So far…

    But at the very least they look like they’re playing modern college football again, not trying to solve a Rubik's Cube with a blindfold on.

    Baby steps.
    Someone said they looked more like Chip than Chip

    They were very crisp against the Bruins
    Like most things in life, it's not in fact black and white, but at least a little more subtle. This place isn't life, so I understand.

    My sober take on Mario is in general agreement with the Ducks. He needed to turn the reigns over to a good OC with the understanding of what he wanted he wanted long-term. He was also ridiculously stubborn about sticking with Brown, who was broken, and no, Cristo didn't break him; he broke himself by making stupid decisions on the field and being accurate with the ball maybe 1/4 of the time, with no ability to hit a deep route ever. No offense or coach is to blame for that, no matter where he's holding a clipboard now, other than sticking with him. Cristobal stuck with him so he bought him.

    No, he's not some elite coach, obviously, but some Ducks are understandably writing what he did well out of the narrative. It wasn't "shocking" that they delivered a RB; they were the best team in the conference as demonstrated by the wins over DWAG and the ass kicking of Ute in the champ. Pretty simple. They ran Herbert in the money games not because it took them that long to figure it out, but because somebody remembered his injury at Doovil on a QB dive play. As you all will no doubt recall, Oregon's QB room lacked depth, to say the least. Smart move. You can't win a RB you don't get to.

    Lanning looks like a great coach and is probably an upgrade. LIPO as you wander into the meat of the schedule, and as for recruiting, I count my chickens when they hatch. Mario delivered. Lanning might well too, but hasn't done it yet.

    Oh, and I'll repeat it again: he beat Peterson 3 times. It'll be a little while before Lanning gets to go after a win against a put-together DWAG squad. In Seattle, that would count for a lot.
    Agree with some of this. Not all of it. I should probably stop there because I don’t want to talk about him anymore but I do so enjoy it….

    Around here we blame the head coach. His hatchlings were all in place last year when they played some of the worst looking football in the country. Year 4. His guys were in there. The current running backs and starting QB are not MCs which is a massive reason Oregon is winning. He had the same Oline last season, granted a year younger, they looked nothing like they do this year and it’s not about them just being more physical or a year older. it’s the way they’re scheming with them.

    He sucks bro.

    Case has been closed for a couple months now.

    Side note, he beat Patterson twice not thrice. Not that twice wasn’t enough, don’t twist.
    Brutal. True about Peterman. Forgot Mario sent him off to retirement early, which in turn set your favorite program back 4 or more years. Another thing for which you should be grateful to Criscoballz.
