I find it interesting that according the the Ducks AD, Miami never reached out and asked permission to speak to Mario, even though he was under contract. Seems a little shady to not reach out to the school

Clearly USC didn’t reach out to Oklahoma. Seems par for the course.
 
I kinda hate myself for saying this, but I would not be mad at all with Urban Meyer. Don't think its too realistic though. We'll probably hear about a bunch of big names and end up with Justin Wilcox.

He's seems happy there and Baylor would match anything Oregon offered. They have a heck of a program there, new facilities, and they are winning with a young team. I would think Baylor is as good a job as Oregon's.

Cristobal seemed happy here too. I think the Nike factor and Phil opening up the pocketbook has big sway.

Well... shades of Taggart and Florida State.... can't blame a guy for wanting to go home to his dream job, and I'd like to say Cristobal left Oregon in a hell of a lot better place than ol' Willy, but the rash of De-Commits are coming, and we'll see what's left after the rubble.

How so? It seems to me that his team/family/loyalty stuff was just as hollow as Willie's Do Something and Oregon is losing it's recruiting class in the same exact manner. Can't say I wish him well.

Thibodeaux just announced he’s sitting out of the Alamo Bowl

you think most recruits will jump ship?

What saved the class when Willie bailed was that they had Mario on staff to offer some continuity. I don't see the same dynamic in place this time, but we shall see...

Hopefully McClendon and Salave’a stick around. That will help. I think Mirabel is gone.
 
Mirabel is friends with Mario from HS, of course he's gone. I've heard McClendon is gone too.

They just named McClendon interim coach for the bowl game. They were waiting to see who was not following Mario before naming that position. My guess is he is planning on staying at this point.
 
Thibodeaux declaring for the draft. Won’t play in the bowl game.

yeah, I do. They've already had at least 4 today de-commit

some may just re-open their recruiting and wait for the Feb. NLI date to see what happens at in the coaching search. But they will definitely lose several. And, the transfer portal will probably be pretty busy as well.

now, some of this will depend on what coaches follow MC to Miami. Mirabel definitely will follow. Feld, the strength coach will almost certainly go to. I'd really like if Bobby Williams, the special teams coach, went to Miami as well. Jim Mastro, the RB coach is a possible departure with mario

Agree! Recruits are gonna head elsewhere. This is a real bad blow to what was being built by Mario. Wilcox would probably love to be named head coach, but that won't attract 5 stars. Luke Fickell is the guy, if his family is willing to move, that would be my choice. I don't think money is a factor. If it is, be prepared Duck Fans to step back to a by gone era, and that ain't pretty when you see the STUD COACH at USC.

I heard Thibideaux told teammates he'd play if the Ducks made the playoffs or Rose Bowl, but not anything less

Makes sense and, as I said, I don’t blame him. He needs to look out for his future. I’d like it if there was some way to provide adequate insurance so that teams that play in the bowl games are representative of the regular season teams.
