From Ferrari to Ford Pinto in 3 short years. Maybe this Taggart turns out to be good, but a lifetime .500 record (and under performance relative to talent) does not point to this. Huge buyout for Slingblade to pin your chances on a .500 coach with one bowl loss? Oregon is basically us when we hired Sark. Hope it was fun while it lasted. Now the only thing they have to look forward to is the parking lot rapes. Losers.
 
Yep. Phil Knight stopped caring about football and started trying to cure cancer. Kilkenny made it very clear that Phil wouldn't be involved and whatever they were planning needed to be within the athletic budget.

So the accountant strung the search along until they were the only Power 5 without a coach and got Slingblade 2.0 on the cheap.

Oregon football is officially dead. Like with all great things, death comes from within.
 
Whoever posted the "Lucy holding the football" picture in another thread hit it out of the park. The delusional, new money Duck fans all expected Chip to jump at the chance to come back and lead them back to glory. And in the rare chance that Chip couldn't make it, the line of elite coaches banging at the door would reach around Autzen. They are in complete shock and entering depression with the Taggart hire.

.500 record I get Swaye, but keep in mind, he took the reigns on two very bad programs and within four years turned each of them around.

There's a difference when you go 2-10, 7-5, 7-5 at one school and then 2-10, 4-8, 8-5, 10-2 at another vs the Sark 7-6 paradigm.

He may not be great, but Taggart at least has shown the ability to improve programs. Maybe he doesn't take us to Chip's level, but he might stop the downward fall, and put us back to one great hire away from winning conference championships again.

The way I look at it, is that Taggart looks to be a pretty solid upgrade from Helfrich.

I always knew I would be right I just had no idea it would happen so soon

Yeah you might be right, and he could turn into Don James/Chip Kelly. My bigger point was Oregon is taking a huge gamble, because it is just as likely he flames out as is successful, and that is the coach hiring model UW used quite unsuccessfully for 20 years after James until they lucked into Peterman - a proven winner. I am surprised they ate such a huge buyout on an unproven guy. This is straight up UW AD Sark shit. Throw shit at a wall and see if it sticks. Oregon was just playing for a NC two years ago, and now they are reduced to going after a guy nobody has ever heard of? Seems odd the AD would can Slingblade without a sure fire winner on deck. Basically, Oregon just did what loser programs do, and that surprised me a bit because I thought they finally decided to be winners.

Don't waste time looking at duck boards. In summary, fan reactions are abysmal. 'Boo', 'nightmare', 'bitterly disappointed', 'WTF', etc.
 
Here is where I am optimistic about this hire; people with no interest like the guy.

When Chip told the AD to hire Sling it was because he didn't want the coachig staff replaced. That's actually the main reason he came back for year four.

Jim, Jack, and John Harbaugh, Tony Dungy, and David Shaw all think Willie is a great coach. That's one great football family and literaly the only two legitimately great black football coaches maybe ever giving an endorsement.

Great chance he sucks or really is Sling 2.0, but he might be a very good coach as well. Like every coach you will know what you have at the end of year two. Here is to the 2019 season...Fuck that sounds Doogish.

There were a line of people telling Washington how great a coach Ty was when we hired him too.

I don't know anything about him. Whatever. Could be good, could suck. LIPO.
 
Yep. Coaches protect their own. Doesn't mean he sucks. Doesn't mean he doesn't

Before his golf addiction he probably was. Like I wrote in another poast if a coach doesn't need to win anymore (rich as fuck with guaranteed contracts) how hard do they still work?

I dealt with Mike Stoops personally a lot and I can tell you after they lost that OT game to Oregon in 2009 he never worked longer than an 8 hour day. He knew it was hopeless, he was rich, and one of his brothers would swoop him up after to be a coordinator.

Coaching is so much about motivation. You could tell Ty didn't give a shit after ND fired him.

DPOTD!!!!

Oregon hired a coach who has inherited 2 dumpster fires and turned them both into 10 win teams in 4 years. While Oregon sucked last year, and it will be a decent rebuild, there's no reason He couldn't get them back to that in Eugene.
