Finally Admit Lanning > Mario

[JTKoval]

Oregon is as much a football state as Vermont. Success comes from Phil Knight. That is

 

[Squid Bumciorek]

We have NEVER attracted big names outside of “Miami” guys.

What big names are you looking for? Urban Meyer? Nick Saban? Coordinators? Since UM only interviews UM guys for the job it isn’t very easy to say no one was attracted.

 

[Brains]

Why aren't we talking about how to improve, rather than having this irrelevant conversation.

You improve by
1.) getting better players
2.) getting better coaches

We definitely are going the opposite direction on the 1st part.

Lanning was handed the keys to a Ferrari. Mario had them humming in recruiting and made serious in roads into Cali. He also got Knight way more involved and by the time Mario left, NIL/portal exploded and Lanning took full advantage. Still hasn’t won anything despite having a great college qb and a ton of talent. I don’t think they get it done this year either

 

[TheEye]

Fine. Smart is better than Richt and Lanning is better than Cristobal. We hoped it wasn't true.

Sorry.

If you guys are in charge of the next hire, let us know.

 

[Bunker Mentality]

This is such a pathetic display of Cane tears.

Bunch of dudes crying for a guy who isn't our football coach.

 

[RVACane]

That's why Nick Saban hired him to coach the OL and be in charge of...... Recruiting ......at Alabama

To recruit and coach OL, I think is what he excels at though without strong NIL the recruiting is neutralized. I don’t think he’s a particularly strong identifier and developer of overall team talent.

We’re in purgatory if he doesn’t have elite NIL behind him in today’s game because he’s not the one to overcome that on the coaching side.

 

[RVACane]

There is a certain faction within UM’s admin/BOT that have wanted to hire Mario ever since he took the FIU job. Thankfully he’s about the last “UM guy” in the coaching sphere, so once they’ve gotten this out of their system, maybe we will do an actual search for once. Let’s just pray Greg Schiano retires by then.

The catch is that the money people made it happen because they personally wanted Mario and have connections to him. No one else was getting the backing he got. We can hope to catch lightning in a bottle next time I suppose.

 

[YLCANE]

The question was about game-day coaching decisions by Mario this afternoon, not the staff/systems issues you're talking about.

Kicking a fg was retarded for one.

 

[Flynell7]

Feel how you wanna feel about Mario but we’re cooked if he doesn’t succeed here. I can’t deal with another 20 years of being irrelevant

 

[aelmiami]

Do y’all congratulate the dude after he ***** your girl too? Weak **** coming from this board lately.

 

[TallyCane]

Oregon should be thanking the heavens that Justin Wilcox told them no before they pivoted to lanning.

I remember when Mike Leach practically BEGGED for the job, and we blew him off.

We deserve every bad thing that comes our way. We are run by what appears to be the local mafia.

 

[OptimusCreampie]

This will be fun to bump when Penn st denies lanning another conference title. You guys are more soft than Oregon fans rn.

Too many “fans” on this board would rather be “right” than support the program. Mario has warts and we all knew that. But the progression and development is undeniable. BuT hE’s NoT lAnNinG! We also don’t have Phil Knight and he took over for Manny, who’s now da gawd
So many pathetic fans on this board

Mike Leach was not a "big name". He was a gimmicky, 9-win ceiling coach who said funny things at press conferences.

 

[FrostyVFL]

yall need a stadium fit for the team. The dolphins venue does you no favors

I'm gonna hold off till the portal closes. Then I'll meltdown to the appropriate degree.

 

[ThomasM]

Mike Leach was not a "big name". He was a gimmicky, 9-win ceiling coach who said funny things at press conferences.

Then he promptly goes to Miss State and starts beating SEC teams with Miss State talent. Yeah, he was a real good coach. One that would have fit the talent in South Florida perfectly. Instead, we get one Miami failure after another.

Leach just wanted to see what he could do with Miami talent, and I don't blame him. I wanted to see that a **** of a lot more than I wanted to see a pitiful game day coach ***** everything under the sun up with pathetic coaching decisions.
