But who do we realistically have a shot at, I would love to see Gus Malzahn on our sidelines. Any chance Uncle Phil could throw enough money at him to get him out of the SEC? It would drive our libtard professors apeshit, which is good, I don't see it happening though. All I know is Helfrich is not our man.
 
I'd think you have to look at the reality of the situation. Will Oregon pay more for a coach than an SEC school? The simple answer is no.

Why would Gus leave? He's already beaten Oregon for a national championship as a coordinator, he made one in his very first year as the front man and he's looking good for a second shot in year two.

The only real names out there that have had success running Oregon's system are Rich Rodriguez, Urban Meyer, Dan Mullen (just starting to at a shit school), Chip Kelly, Brian Kelly, and Gus Mahlzahn.

Urban isn't leaving the midwest, Mullen will replace Muschamp at the end of the season, Chip will probably never come back to college, No one is leaving Notre Dame for Oregon willingly, Gus wouldn't leave his home region for a lateral move, and Rich Rod would probably be hesitant to jump so quick after the Michigan debacle.

Oregon has a bean counter for an AD and the assistants on the staff have really deep roots to the program which is both good and bad. Slingbade will get two more seasons. The one positive is he is recruiting well on paper, which means nothing if you're a shit coach, but it does leave a replacement something to work with.

Unfortunately I think you're 100% correct Moss, this fucking blows. Now I know how all these Washington fags felt years ago. Hopefully we don't have to go through 20 years of dumbshit hires, kick ass pressers or retarded lawnmower dances before we find a good coach. I can't wait for our own Hitler reacts video though, if I had any talent I'd make one myself

Oregon has been tremendous when they actually do a search for a head coach instead of just give it to someone who doesn't deserve it.

Altman was a great hire for a basketball program no one cares about. Horton in baseball, the softball guy, Lananna in track, the volleyball coach, etc.

If Oregon did the same due diligence finding a football coach I think they would make a very solid hire. I understood the Helfrich hire, but it was never a LIPO hire. It was either going to work or it wasn't and you'd know right away. It didn't work.
 
I'm too lazy to do the homework, but a different athletic director probably hired each one of those coaches, but you're right they're all great hires. Hell, even Westhead seemed like a grand slam at the time, at least to a guy like me who doesn't give a shit about women's basketball.
 
You guys may get lucky and hire the right guy on the next at bat, but getting the right coach isn't easy. Much more prominent programs have had to cycle through bad coaches until they got the right guy. Oklahoma, Alabama, USC, Michigan, and Notre Dame come to mind right away. The constant with those programs has been holding their coaches accountable for winning, so they continue cycling until they find the right guy. It may be a bumpy ride, but in the end, I think you'll be alright, your athletic department and benefactor are serious about football. That's 81% of the battle.

It doesn't have to be a name guy. Look at Chip. He came from New Hampshire. The Oregon brand and Phil's money and commitment will help any new coach with recruitment. They just have to find a detailed oriented, football priority, asshole. It never works to hire the "nice guy". Every great program is ran by somebody who has a little asshole in them, and that's what we need in our next coach. Don't be afraid to look to the division 2 or 3 ranks. If the guy can coach, he can coach. It doesn't matter where he comes from.

I think we should make a pass at that Mullens guy from Mississippi State

Until this season Mullens record is very Sark like at Mississippi State.

Bad comparison. Mullen has done much more with less than Sark could muster at Joey's. It's entirely possible that Mullen will win more with MSU in the SEC than Sark with USC in the PAC. Mullen would be a great hire for Oregon, but the way things are shaping up, I'm guessing they'd have to compete with Florida for his services, and I'm 81% sure Florida would win that battle.

Point well taken, but I'm 33 years old so they've at least been respectable as far back as I've been paying attention.
 
No fucking way a school like Oregon is bringing Mrs. Malzahn to the northwest.

You undererestimate the lengths to which Oregon is willing to sell out to get more wins.
