Oregon Gets Cristoballed

It's an interesting experiment, anyway, to be a decent P5 school and hire a HC primarily for his recruiting ability. I think it's not a good idea, but it'll be interesting.

Well, we just did it two years in a row, so...abundance.

This is a reasonable conclusion. Look, Cristoballz could be great. Who knows. Not an inspiring hire, and I think if you look at percentages of failed previous HC's brought up from the assistant ranks the chances are against Oregon, but he could turn out to be great. Small chance, but a chance. Key is Mullens shitcanning this guy quick if results are less than optimal and pulling a big name then. I know I'd be pissed if I were a Duck, but most of eSuck is rejoicing. Then again, most of eSuck are dumb fucking donkeys.

RE: Mario Cristobal/Oregon> Just how bleak were things at FIU when he took over? There was no film library. No academic support system. He inherited a woeful APR & the program was going on academic probation, so they couldn’t have full recruiting classes: https://t.co/ISAvVzoLPh— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 8, 2017

A few thoughts on Mario Cristobal. 1. Took over, BY FAR, the worst FBS situation I've ever seen (FIU).. led them to a bowl win 4 yrs later; 2. Not sure there is a better recruiter in the country anywhere. 3. His teams will be very physical. MORE: https://t.co/ISAvVzoLPh— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 8, 2017

Are those divisional standings or league?

Either way I’m not happy.

I ain't buyin' that Wilcox just turned Oregon down flat unless there's bad blood between the Wilcox family and the program that isn't widely known. Oregon is a better job than Cal. Just for starters. And that's his and his family's school. For another. And nobody is going to win for real at Cal pretty much ever. I simply don't remember a very good Cal team this side of 1991, and as Washington fans know too well, that was a while ago.

Didn’t the Aaron Rodgers team finish in the top 5?

Which I known many felt was too high.

I'm not so sure. If you structure his contract favorably you get rid of him if he can't coach. Meanwhile, he won't have left the cupboards bare. I don't have a regression analysis in my back pocket, but as between the two variables ... can the guy coach and can the guy recruit, my sense is known recruiters seldom fail to deliver on that skill, while guys who's coaching worked at one place often screw the pooch at the next gig. Happens all the fucking time.

So I go back to my own Iron Law: you need a little luck anyway, so you may as well get comfortable having to likely go through a few hires before getting it right again. If that's the case, it makes sense to take a flyer who can recruit if that's an area of relative weakness for your program. If you're at Florida State, Floria, Miami, Texas, LSU, etc., you don't fall all over yourself for the ace recruiter.

Whatever else can be said, I'm not looking around at who else was available and thinking, "wow, you guys really fucked up." There may have been some choices that would make sense to the conventional crowd, but those guys don't accept the Iron Law. And having an up and down time of it at FIU means next to nothing. That's a program that gets kicked off the field when women's field hockey is ready to practice.

Unfortunately he was not a witness to the whammy, but he does have a 1991 natty ring which must give duck fans conflicting feelings

Yep. The 2004 team. That's right. So 1991 and 2004. I think winning big or consistently there is far and away the exception to the rule.

This 100000x. Which is why Wilcox and Brohm weren't realistic options.
