Given it's "Hate Week" how would you rank the Oregon coaches by which ones you can or can't stand the most since college football was invented in 1994?
Most Likable
1. Taggart - Got the fuck out of Eugene at the first opportunity. The fact he even went 7-6 and hasn't been able to put up anything better since in equally easy situations is a testament to the mystery that is Oregon success.
2. Helfrich - Can't think of a less of a personality for a head coach. He also delivered the 70-21 jubilation in Eugene.
3. Brooks - Too young to remember this dude. Maybe he sucked. He got out of Eugene quick though which I commend and quickly found out that you can't be average and suck and reach great heights once you're out of the shroud of that program.
4. Bellotti - The first I don't like. Never took another job too because he knew he would suck without Nike.
5. Chipper - He's kind of got a thing with Husky fans like Libs have with George W now where in hindsight he doesn't seem so bad. Personally I kind of actually liked Chip's odd no bullshit persona and I don't think he ever preached hating Washington. I hate the temporary shitty hurry up bullshit he started though and he should have left earlier.
6. Lanning - I'm shocked this guy is anything but roadkill as a head coach. Entire vibe is fake door to door solar panel salesman or Verizon booth at the mall legend.
7. Crisco - Fuck this guy. Reignited an unnecessary hate for Washington and was just a giant doofus who is a joke of a coach outside of the Nike shroud. It's too bad Miami didn't actually play Washington in 91 because there'd assuredly be footage of Emptman trash compacting him.
