John Canzano: Oregon needs new focus to ever catch Washington

This article is a fucking joke. You need two things to catch anyone in football: Talent and coaching.

Peterman is in year four. Say what you want about Sark, but that drunkard could recruit. Pete came in with talent on the roster and is a good coach. Sark was a better recruiter, Pete is a better coach. Those things both work out to a 9 win program, which is not bad in any way.

Slingblade was a pussy who couldn't do either. Campbell and Greatwood kept up their coaching and recruiting after Chip left because they are just great coaches. Everyone else went into retirement mode. Outside of running back, the O-line, and one QB that grew up across the street the Ducks had a shitty roster. The rumblings were there were six guys in the team when Willie took over that could bench 225lbs. That's fucking mind blowing but not surprising with Sling being a pussy and Radcliff valuing stretching over lifting.

Willie is bringing in talent regardless of his coaching ability. He will get Oregon to a 9 win program by his fourth year regardless of anything else. If he bails for a job in the south after that point the next guy will have a roster to work with.

UW's head coach left for USC. That means UW's program wasn't in a bad place. Oregon fired their head coach because he let the train run off the tracks. If Herbert plays this article doesn't get written and it's year one of getting it back together.

LIPO.

Bill Tags took over a 4 win team. The dudes that got to the playoffs were gone outside of Freeman, Nelson, and Mondeau.

If losing by 8 is getting "gangraped" ,then what is 70-21 38-3?

The fact that Sling did such a terrible job developing his team and recruiting players.

In 2014 if Mariota went down we would have won maybe 7 games. Instead he played all year and we made the NC.

2015 was basically this year, but with more Chip leftover. If Adams doesn't break his hand in garbage time we win in Lansing with ease and finish the season with maybe one loss to Utah and it's back in the playoffs. Instead we play in Lansing with a QB that can't hold the ball and he sits out a month after that. The season dies and he gets a concussion at half time and Sling blows a 34 point lead against TCU.

2016 is another Big Sky QB that actually plays like a Big Sky QB. He shoves Herbie in there to save his job and it's a 4 win season.

2017 Herbie goes down for six weeks and the season is toast.

UW fans think Browning needs to be better, but at least you guys can compete without him.
