You would take Tedford over Sumlin?! As a Beaver fan, I hope you get what you ask for. Tedford was 50-45 in PAC 10 play when he was at CAL and he left them in shambles. Kevin Sumlin would be a smooth transition from Taggert.

Sumlin couldn't produce at A&M, the school with the highest revenue in the country. Outside of the Johnny Football years he has been 8-5 every season, except this season before being fired, he was 7-5. He is way too similar to Helfrich, both are extremely average coaches that were propped up by Hesiman QBs. Oh, and both are HORRID talent evaluators when it comes to coaching, both had horrendous DC hires.

I'm not saying Tedford would be my go to guy but at least he has Oregon ties, and has had a resurgence in his career. He knows how to recruit the west coast.
 
It feels like the extension UO offerred Willie at $4 mill/yr is a little light. I’d feel better about him singing the extension and passing on the FSU job if it was in the neighborhood of $6. Hopefully Uncle Phil ups the ante.

the only Army Navy game I brought my Dad and youngest brother to was after I'd graduated and my middle brother was there. Day was cold Adonal Foyle in Old Giants stadium and we were up 51-6 in the middle of the 3rd quarter. They'd only won one other game all season, and people were chanting "We want 100!" I actually felt a bit bad for the Army dudes.

Not that way for Ducks/Beavs?

Please explain the phrase "Day was cold Adonal Foyle in Old Giants stadium..."

Solid points, I don’t think any hire would be a slam dunk unless it’s Frost who is going to Nebraska. Sumlin is an offensive guy who can recruit that’s why I think it would be a smooth transition, and out of the available coaches out there I don’t know of any better than Sumlin. McElwain? Miles? Baldwin?

AF represents "As Fuck" in internet speak. I'm not sure how it started, but the initials of Foyle being AF, it is now interchangeable.

I think Frost may be more interested in Oregon than Nebraska honestly. Certainly a more high profile job in today's cfb landscape, plus he is more familiar with the team and the people around the program.

Kiffin is a wild card too, he has a great X's and O's mind, can recruit well... it's just the off field stuff.

Frost is a Nebraska grad and it’s been reported that it’s pretty much already a done deal he ends up there after their game this weekend. It would be a solid hire but I think it’s probably too late for UO on that front. Kiffin is intriguing but man did he sure shit the bed at USC. And you don’t really want to hire someone with completely different offensive and defensive schemes because all that progress and momentum made this year could go to waste. I would expect they try to get someone who can come in with a very similar philosophy.

It will get interesting.
 
The only people really reporting it as a very serious probability that he is leaving is Canzano and his cronies. The rest of the nation acknowledges him as a candidate maybe even the favortite but doubts he is going to leave.
 
A lot of the local vibe has been Willies lack of commentary about it... prior today it wasn’t even an available job. By the time he spoke today he likely hadn’t even received any kind of offer.
 
I'd bet Willie is workin' for the Ducks right this moment..focused on propping up the roster...I'm not a huge Duck fan but I like Willie in Eugene...Helfrich is an easy act to follow

Yeah the clashing play styles with Kiffin would be a big question mark, but he's smart enough to tailor offenses to the strength of the team he is on. Also, his stint at USC had its ups.. he got there at a bad time with the two year bowl ban, loss of scholarships, and all those JR/SR players getting penalty free transfers.

Hopefully, that is what this is about. He wants bigger salary on his extension, and yeh they better give it to him. Right now.
 
Reports/rumors say people have seen Willie on the FSU campus this morning.
 
Personally, I don't take a job and then leave a year later. That's just me though.

Really? Why on earth not? If I was a vp for some shoe company based across the country, and Nike offered me the same position in my home state for more money, a chance for my familyto be close to home and a more high profile job, I'd jump. Most anyone would

I'm sure there a thousands of fans who have invested their hope in your employment decisions. Etiquette is not cheating on your girlfriend or wife because a pretty girl shows interest, even if that is what you want to do and even if she is your dream girl.

I guess you better hope that you're going to stay at the next job for a long time, because short hopping from job to job makes you look unreliable and disloyal.
