for sure losing Chip (and now coach Azz too) so close to signing day really negatively impacts this class. PSAs on the fence have good reason to go another way with the uncertainty of who is going to be coaching them at UO. Making the bad timing worse, because of a recent Oregon law change the Ducks are going to be required to go through a formal hiring/interview process where at least one minority candidate is interviewed. This process of hiring a coach won't happen overnight... schedules will need to be aligned etc so the uncertainty will linger. If only they'd have tanked last year and got the season over early we'd have a coach in place and back kicking butt in recruiting... dream dream dream
the silver lining hope is if they're able to hold onto most of their verbals they'll be fine depth wise and should be easily able to make it up the numbers in next year's class. Besides quality RB depth, I really don't see much immediate need from this class for next year's squad to remain a top BCS contender... or, I'll exhale once Tyner signs. If the Ducks are rolling again next year demonstrating that alls well, I suspect that their depth chart could make them much more attractive to top shelf recruits. If they roll (as expected), it could be a really fun year to be a fan

An interesting post from you considering with all your Duck insight Chip was going to still be here right? Isn't that what you wrote just a bit ago while sounding once again like the Duck authority you sooooo are not?
Still think Chip is a classy guy? Tell me how do you "REALY" feel about him solely gutting our recruiting class, taking a handful of coaches and leaving us looking at NCAA violations two weeks to national signing day? Knowing what I'm saying is fact I'd love to hear your spin on this?
You may need to find a super big shovel for this retort!
Here's what we do know, Chip is gone, "Nice call on that one once again!", recruits are pissed and even the ones he did keep up with he didn't decide to inform them he was taking the eagles job. IE "WILSON, TWINS and Falah" Saying you may go to the pros and you are leaving tomorrow are very different statements, even a blow hard like you must comprehend that! We haven't recruited well all year, and "I've been saying that" and the real reason why is Chips heart hasn't been into it! FACT! Thus why we have now maybe 9 recruits and the big names that were supposed to be coming in for visits have all cancelled! Chip is no fool, he knew his timing on this one was AWFUL and he simply didn't give a shit! Here's another fact, Uncle Phil is not happy about any of this!
Chip's ego is not bigger than Nike's checkbook, something the Chipster might have wanted to factor in before pissing off the same guy that made him a national name. Ya see Phil ultimately decides who is coach here, not the AD, Oregon or even the massive duck nation. Phil does, plain and simple!
My only hope is that you Stomp will be invited to join the Chip caravan to Phili, a city where inflated self righteous opinions like yours will be so warmly met!
