OT: FB: Oregon fires Offensive Coordinator

[TheResistance]

Boy do they miss Stein

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Oregon fans have come forth and have apologized for not caring that Stein left for UK.

They are reeling right now.

Boy do they miss Stein

They sure do not only on the field but with recruiting too .

 

[Bluegrass79]

I mean that's what happens when you got good assistant coaches....

They're going to move on.

New hires ....man you got to be real careful!

 

[chroix]

Pretty clear why they were worth a **** last bunch of seasons. Also real clear why they’re not anymore.

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

Stein is awesome but lets not forget he basically brought most of their offensive and support staff with him too. That's alot to overcome.

As another poster said, losing key assistants is part of major college football. That's really the most underrated but most impressive part of saban's legendary run at bama. He had to constantly replace entire staff every year. Its crazy what he had to do and experienced very little drop off.

According to Oregon fans, Lanning pulled a Cal and hired friends at the coordinator spots instead of getting the best coach available. That bites these coaches in the *** every time.

Man Sabans coaching tree is impressive isnt it. Good assistants will get scooped up but I would think that keeps talented coaches coming to you because they know it's a launching pad to be a HC. Oregon lost their DC too I think so they lost everyone.

Other than Leftwich who was assistant line coach, who else on the offensive side of the ball came to UK? Can't think of any.

What's wild is this isn't somebody new to them. He was the co-offensive coordinator. He and Stein worked together. He was also the LB coach I believe.

He got hung out to dry due to the HC facing pressure on HIS job.

Yeah, most programs don't lose a coordinator the caliber of Will Stein and not suffer a massive drop-off in performance. In his time at Oregon, Stein consistently had arguably the best offense in the entire country. Just about anyone they might have hired to replace him was going to be a downgrade. We got to experience that a little on our own when we had to replace Liam Coen, twice.

Considering recent basketball hires and past issues regarding this, I’m starting to think coaches hiring their buddies is not a good thing.

They lost their DC to Cal, too. But he’s not doing so swell and California fans are already wanting him gone.

And we're the crazy ones......giving somebody less than a year to adjust is a STUPID waste of money. I normally don't gripe about fans, but if you give a guy less than a year and are already screaming for him to be gone......maybe YOU might be part of the issue. I mean it's freaking Cal.....the last time they were truly dominate was like 1924.....

Who? Pretty sure he brought 2 people, one of which isn’t here anymore

Other than the oc and ol, we took the gm too and their dc left. Maybe more tol but that's just off the top of my head.

That's alot for a normal human being to replace in one off-season. Saban did it every year with massive success but any normal program is going to suffer from that level of turnover.

I couldnt remember. I know they lost their DC to Cal. Thats going to be something interesting for us to watch this off-season is our staff being candidates elsewhere.

For sure and losing your qb to injury who was probably a top 10 draft pick made this season wretched for them. Maybe they

Hopefully we can retain everyone intact for at least another season. We finish strong this year and roll next year then probably Sloan and other guys start getting plucked.

Absolutely. I mean a new coordinator should get 2 years unless he's being Tiger Woods crashing into everyone high and drunk or groping people like Mickelson.

And it's Cal like you said lol.

Stein hiring all the extra assistants is going to really pay dividends. I think he will have a really good coaching tree down the line. All the greats were able to promote the next man up. I really believe Stein is going to be that way. Leftwich was an assistant offensive line coach at Oregon, and he has been a homerun.

It will. I suspect sloane will be the first target since he will have the best pedigree and teams will hope he will have stein's offense. Personally I think he's the most expendable.

Also look for the OL coach to really get some offers. Hopefully we can keep him.
