Well who the fuck is stopping mighty Washington for playing by the same rules Oregon is playing by now? Stop whining, it's unbecoming."Financial support" pre-N.I.L. pay for play era college sports is chicken shit compared to its importance now.Phil was already providing plenty of financial support by the time Chip arrived. Dan just did something Chip was never able to do, and he is recruiting at a level that Chip never did. Chip never built the kind of talent on the O and D-lines that Dan has built.Chip wasn't infallible. But his mad-genius level coaching enabled Oregon's 2009- 14 run w/o blue blood type MONEY, TRADITION and LOCATION.
I don't think a guy of Dan's abilities could have elevated Oregon in the same way post Mike B.
While at the same time what Chip did was kind of a one time moment in history and the game evolved. Eventually the @oregonblitzkrieg ran out of gas at the gates of Moscow.
