Caple's latest podcast

Gladstone said:

I really gave the podcast a genuine shot in good faith but gave up months ago because Danny -- whose opinions over the years I usually agree or quasi-agree with -- was to me completely unlistenable. Brutally cringe and talked way, way too much about uninteresting or objectively incorrect things. I cannot imagine how godawful the pod is now with the B10 news breaking and the like. Caple, for his part, is IMO personally pretty likable but as a podcaster is pretty plane Jane. I understand part of that is because the AD is absurdly sensitive to unintentionally hilarious degrees about any sort of criticism*, but if you can't be critical at least be funny. It's just blah.

@ntxduck re: "No one gives a shit about that conference “title”, even Oregon fans, and most people don’t even remember it at all because it was such a fucked up year"

For most of us here, sure. For the general fandoms though this is simply not true, Oregon marketed that masterfully on social media and elsewhere. "3 StRaIgHt NoRtH tItLeS!!" Recruits in '21 mentioned it all the time. Cristobal mentioned it all the time in pressers completely unironically. I don't say this as a criticism towards Oregon, they have obviously been on top of their marketing game for decades now. It worked. I say it as unbridled animosity towards Cohen lol, who airballed a vitally important moment and not only suffered zero consequences, but bizarrely fell upwards (if her salary rumors are somewhat in the gravitational sphere of reality) to the USC job.

Literally throw any search about Oregon's Covid year title into Google or Twitter and you can find tons of content from their AD hyping it. Also national media types ran with it too, example 6/2391:

Typical marketing master stroke by Oregon, who weaponized Cohen's breathtaking ineptitude into top tier hype and recruiting momentum.

* (Maybe that changes with grown up AMC in charge, assuming she hires another actual grown up for AD. The whispers that there's 0% chance she will hire the new AD in-house is music to my ears)

Hi haie,

Thanks for sharing with us. We are ALWAYS in constant evaluation, and that is certainly the case with our football program. We expect better and are using all of our resources to support our team and Coach Lake.


I will keep those conversations in confidence as we have a group of young men we need to keep coaching to try to win more games.


Just know we share the same passion, and goals, in having a program we can all be proud of.

Be well,

Jen

Hi Derek,


My apologies for not getting in touch sooner. As you can imagine, my schedule has been beyond full. I am not sure what info I can provide but if you want to send me some times for a phone call, we can cross check calendars.


Thanks.

Maybe we can circle back and drill down

That's exactly how it was
