Oregon Ducks 2023!

[wizenheimer]

that's a solid point. A&M has had one 10 win season in the last 25 years. That was in 2012 under Kevin Sumlin

if you assume the Ducks will win 10 this season, in the same 25 year period A&M has had one 10 win season, Oregon has had 14.

 

[tlongII]

instead of praying another Oregon coach leaves, you should be worried about Smith, but I imagine you already are

besides that, instead of thinking about Lanning-->A&M, you should be thinking about A&M players-->Oregon. If Jimbo is fired there is an immediate 30 day window in the transfer portal for A&M players. And Oregon finished 2nd in recruiting several A&M players, like David Hicks for instance

I'm pretty sure Oregon is a better job than A&M. The boosters aren't fucking insane at Oregon like they are at A&M. Oregon would likely match any offer up to 10M/year. And with Texas & Oklahoma moving to the the SEC next year, any recruiting advantage A&M had is gone

Fisher has a 75M buyout; Lanning's is 20M. At some point, even rich+insane will weigh options

A&M has much more money at their disposal.

 

[wizenheimer]

I mostly agree with this. Though, any program willing to pay $75m to buy out a coach will also be willing to pay $20 to buy out his replacement, if they believe he's the far superior option.

possibly.

but there are more options than just Lanning for A&M

the scumbaggery of Urban Meyer and A&M seem a match made in heaven. Maybe they'll go after Mike Norvell who has roots all over the South and was born & raised in Texas. Maybe they'll look at their former DC and current Duke head coach, Mike Elko. Lane Kiffin is already getting a lot of buzz for this job, and actually seems like a good fit. Jeff Traylor has incredibly strong Texas roots. Chris Klieman at Kansas State. How about Kliff Kingsbury?

don't be surprised is A&M takes a long look at Arizona's Jedd Fisch; and that Fisch would be interested. His extensive NFL coaching experience has been a huge selling point for Arizona recruiting; that would be super-charged at A&M

and of course if A&M wants to make a big splash and be the pretty-boys at ESPN all they have to do is 'steal' Deion Saunders from Colorado

much more than who? Oregon? I don't think 10M/year would turn Lanning's head because Oregon would match. Sure would turn Smith's head though but Smith likely wouldn't be a big enough splash

I agree. I doubt Lanning is A&M's #1 option.

USC’s decline into the Meh of Troy is karmic justice for killing the Pac-12

[Phatguysrule]

A&M has much more money at their disposal.

So they're going to pay him a $1 billion? The Ducks will be able to match anything A&M offer, and the Ducks are a better program, and then there is the Nike connection...

If Lanning was going to leave, he would wait for Saban to retire and to go Alabama.

 

[kjironman1]

If Lanning was going to leave, he would wait for Saban to retire and to go Alabama.

Or just build the Ducks into a perennial powerhouse just like Alabama.

 

[Natebishop3]

Why would Lanning want to start over with a bad team? He finally has the Ducks in a good spot.

Why would Lanning want to coach Texas Ass & Manure?

 

[MickZagger]

Lanning would be a fool to leave for A&M.

But I think he knows that he’s lucky to be at a school like Oregon. He ain’t going nowhere.

His wife went to Texas A&M. Got family there.

I might be way off, but it seemed like a pretty clear joke.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Here is the thing when you have a great coach doing great things they will always be wooed by someone and granted the past 2 times with Mario and Taggert have made fans a little worried but one thing those had in common that is NOT in play this time around -- connections to FSU and Miami. Only job I would be worried for Lanning to leave is if the Georgia job opened up so until that happens fans might have to read / listen to BS from places like ESPN and talk up something but in reality ... nothing to see here.

NEXT ....

UW has a more potent offense than UO but UO has a better defense than UW.

lol, whatevers dude.

Given this is football where week to week multiple guys are either out or playing through unreported injury(ies), it's hard to really get a bead on whats truly what for any one team let alone multiple as you're claiming. It is clear though that Washington has struggled every single week since the slugfest with Oregon, while the Ducks have largely rolled teams. Personally I think the mid-season addition of Jenkins to Oregon's D has been huge and am really happy about their lack of season ending injuries to key personnel. The only thing I'm concerned about is the sloppy procedural penalties on the OLine. Clean that shit up and I like Oregon's chances verses anyone let alone the Beavers or Doogs. Next week they take on the Sun Devils on the road... wild guess that they put up many more then the 15 the "potent" UW offense did on them at home.

7 of those 15 were from a pick 6.

I don’t think UW had an offensive TD

I believe their defense scored 6 from the defensive INT (missed the 2pt conversion) and had 3 field goals.

Yah you guys should roll ASU.

He looks awfully young/small.

Lots of recruits at this game. Ducks are trying to be flashy

I hope one of them is a kicker.

 

[wizenheimer]

Oregon played the entire 2nd half without their starting CB's, Khyree Jackson and Jahlil Florence; and their 3rd best CB in Dontae Manning

and, like Schwartz said, if it hadn't been for the bogus PI, the game would have been over. If USC got the ball back with 8-10 minutes left in the 4th Q, down 43-14, would Williams have even come back in the game?
