Oregon has had 4 head coaches in less than 6 years (Helfrich fired on Nov 29, 2016)

Lanning is the 4th head coach in that string. And the Ducks are in the thick of the playoff talk with an inside track of winning the Pac-12

how many teams could go thru 4 head coaches in 6 years, and all the chaos and transition that entails, and still be a top-10 team? Maybe, what has been built at Oregon actually is bigger and generates more momentum than who the HC is

IMO, a "stand-up coach" wouldn't be in contact mid-season with another school less than a year into his first head-coaching gig. Hopefully the "contact" they claim has occurred has been completely one-sided.

It’s a random Auburn reporter throwing mud at the wall.

well, here's some things Duck related, so crank up your lol's:

* in the last 14 years, Oregon is 12-2 against OSU
* in the last 46 years, the Ducks are 35-11 against OSU

after Bellotti retired in 2009 and the Ducks went into their post-Bellotti coaching carousel:

* Oregon's record is 133-43 (.756); in the same time frame the beaver record is 66-97 (.405)
* Oregon has won 6 conference titles; osu has won none
* Oregon has won 3 Rose Bowls; osu hasn't appeared
* Oregon has won 10 post-season games and 6 bowl games; osu has won 1

* since 2000, Oregon has finished in the AP top-ten 9 times, osu has done it once, 22 years ago

* Mark Helfrich was fired by Oregon after he compiled a record of 37-16 (.698); Mike Riley's record was 93-80 (.538), and he'd still be the coach if he hadn't left for Nebraska

You forgot one very important statistic.

The Beavs have a huge lead in the percentage of fans wearing hunting camo every weekend at Reser.

Thats true, but IMO a coach who's agent is fielding & returning calls doesn't reflect badly on said coach as thats business. Besides that worry worts, Lanning's deal with Oregon has a 14 Million dollar buyout after this year. To put that into perspective, Nick Saban makes 9 Million a year. To me the tea leaves read that DL's agent is trying to leverage a bigger deal at Oregon for his client... which is his job.

They were reportedly going to offer Cristobal $100 mil.

So glad that didn’t come true.
 
The easiest way to get a pay raise is to listen when other schools come courting.

Jonathan Smith needs to have some schools interested in him because he's done a great job rebuilding OSU.

Anyone seen this dudes YouTube?

Didn’t realize this was the UO player who passed away in a climbing accident until I read the comments.

 
Dan Lanning spoke on the dumbass un-sourced rumor

"First thing I want to say is that things like this are going to come up when you have team success and you do your job and things go the way they're supposed to go — that's credit to our team. That being said, I think there's a little bit of a problem in our society today with people looking for what's next and where there's an opportunity, and the reality is the grass is not always greener. In fact, the grass is damn green in Eugene, and I want to be here in Eugene for as long as Eugene will have me," he said.


"This place has everything I could possibly ever want; that my family could every want. I have an 11 year-old that has lived in eight different states. The last thing I ever want to do is leave. I want to enjoy this opportunity here. It's been a phenomenal place for us. When you talk about things that align, things that match your vision for what you're looking for as a head coach, Oregon checks every box for me.


"I think history maybe shows that this is a great place to be and not a great place to leave. I want to be here. Hopefully, that's the last time I have to address it, but the reality is this is a destination, not just for me, but for elite players. And why is it a destination? Great administration, great fans, great support, and it's a good reason to be here and a big reason we're having the success that we're having."

I've been thinking about this. It's incredible really.
