OFFICIAL: Oregon Coaching Search thread

Rich people get and stay rich by not wasting their money. Phil's not a retard like the AnM boosters. He's going to get the best coach and staff he can get for market rates. Fact is, the department can't afford 105,000 seat stadium money with a 60,000 seat stadium.

Oregon will stay competitive and pay top 25 money, but we're not going nuts here. Saban et al aren't coming no matter what.

The best outcome here is probably to keep as much of the staff and class as we can, in particular the recruiting talent, and see how they do. At the very least keep the talent top 4-5 in the league and if they fuck up go for a more splash hire if the W's aren't there.

Good poast duck. Cheers.

P.S. @VanillaFS Fix the damn quote function
 
I think that @BallzDeep 's lack of understanding of football and coaching contracts is very relevant to a discussion of football and coaching contracts.

Also, I wanna know who told him that Helfrich turned down a job on Chip's staff at UCLA.

If Phil wants a title, he'll need to be a little dumb and reach into the pockets and pay well over market rates to get a coaching staff other programs can't afford or don't want to afford. That's Oregon's advantage, and it's the only way to get back to the title game IMO If he doesn't use that advantage, then what good are his billions? He can fuck off. Time for him to put up or shut up.

Duck Twatter seems to believe Cristoball has been hired permanently.

Disagree.

Old RICH people spend money like drunken sailors when staring at the end of the line.

knight is worth $27.6 Billion. He could endow $10 Million/10 years and be worth $27.500,000,000

Pocket change.
 
Clearly, the best thing for Oregon to do is let the recruits decide who they want as head coach so that they can keep the class together.

What could go wrong?
 
@bananasnblondes - normally I agree with you. This is not a normal off-season hire.

The staff and the recruiting is really big for Oregon this year. This is supposed to be around a 30 recruit class to get the roster up to 85. If Taggart had left after next year wouldn't be as big for continuity because we were going to take a smallish class ~20 next year.

There's a decent argument to be made to give Cristobal or Leavitt a shot at the head job, and essentially a tryout. There aren't any good hires out there. The coaching carousel has been exceedingly crazy this year. Oregon swung for the fences last year, and put together one of the best staffs in the country to go with the Taggart hire. The head coach's play calling was one of the weakest points of last season.

If either of these guys sucks, well, I'm not sure Sumlin would do a whole lot better. Show them the door after year 2-4 and find a real coach with adequate time to pre-position the new coach and staff rather than scrambling to make a hire in less than a week. In this economy.

Taggart leaving definitely hurt Oregon. So let's mitigate the harm.
 
2024 will be super speshul! Har har har.....

Will the Ducks keep there tinfoil costumes next season?

Does uncle PHIL still love me?

Will they fix the potholes in the Autzen porking lot?

 
There are plenty of fine coaches out there but, when you book your Christmas ski vacation this late in December, it costs money.

Again, Knight can[/b][/i] afford it. He just doesn’t want to.

Sunk in yet?
 
I love all of the Oregon fans walking back all the praise they gave Taggart. If Taggart would've stayed they would've been ecstatic.

Helpful hint, most Oregon fans are fucking idiots. The few who are smart were in LIPO with Willie. He gone, so it'll be the same with the next. The only absolute is to keep Leavitt. He is a great DC.[/b]
