Oregon Opening

[TU1NNJ]

They will look for an offensive innovator to compete in the PAC. TU fans hold your breath.

 

[TU 1978]

Like USC, they should look to the state of Oklahoma from which to pluck their coach!

Who's drawing up the plays for that Mustang team? Thats where I would be heading if I came to Oklahoma looking for an OC.

Do you think Oregon would try to bring Chip Kelly back from UCLA?

 

[jesterondirt]

I was looking up Frosts restructured contract to see if he would be a possible candidate. Its upwards of $7mill, i dont see Oregon going that route, but I think he would be a good fit there.

He hasn't had any success at Nebraska...not even a glimmer of hope that they are on the upswing back to relevancy. He was great at UCF but why would Oregon take the chance on someone who has not had success as the head man of a P5 program? UCLA has had glimmers of being really good. They went 8-4 and only lost to Fresno St (a good team), Arizona State (ranked at the time), Oregon (highly ranked) and Utah (ranked). The losses to Fresno and Oregon were by FGs. And UCLA scored plenty of points so Kelly's offense is working again.

ON another note, I haven't seen it announced yet as to who the candidates for OC at OU are. I wonder if Venables would consider bringing Chad Morris in? Of course I wonder if OU would pay their OC more than what Allen HS pays their head coach (j/k...sort of).

Based off history, teams/fans love to return to what worked for them. Hence the amount of people wanting Todd Graham back. I bet he would be a legit candidate at Oregon without the buyout at Nebraska.

I think Nebraska is closer than you think from being much better than they have been over the past ten years.

Not hire away Frost close, but they're pretty competitive in most of the B-10 games they played this year.

GO TU!!!

Too funny

 

[PNTrough]

I think Tulsa is closer than you think from being much better than they have been over the past ten years.

Not hire away Montgomery close, but they're pretty competitive in most of the B-10 games they played this year.

GO TU!!!

You have Stockholm Syndrome.

Nebraska is a broken program that has failed to evolve in several different ways over the past 20 years. To the extent they’ve had any success since 1984, it was based on partial qualifiers with no other elite place to play, as well as in some cases, performance enhancing drugs.

They haven’t won jack once other programs in more desirable places built similar facilities and spent similar sums. They were once innovative on offense and set the standard for defense. That hasn’t been true since the Clinton Administration.

Nebraska is 5 to 7 years, a conference change and $2 billion dollars away from having the success their alumni feel entitled to. They can hire Christ himself to recruit, but it won’t make a difference. The problems are beyond systemic. They are cultural. OU made those changes during the Stoops/Castiglione era, (and may be due soon for another), Nebraska has been living in denial and blaming others.
