Finally Admit Lanning > Mario

This board is hilarious because literally all you will see is kirby is a corch,day is a corch,lane is a corch etc..

The minute someone says something about our coach its oh you guys always slander our coaches and hype up everyone else's lmao we gotta pick one side man, just the one that’s favorable.

With outside coaches the context or excuses dont matter but when someone says something about ours everyone has a reason why its different. I swear if we held our own to the same standard as the guys people hate on, the conversations on here would be different

Yet somehow Helfrich never got another shot at a HC job despite being the “whiz kid” heir apparent to Chip? Meanwhile Frost is on his 3rd HC job? He crashed OU and that’s why he was fired. And Taggart followed🤣
I love how excuses are made to fit a narrative.

None of this has anything to do with Oregon not being in as bad of shape as some on here would like to add.

It’s b/c after UO, Helfrich came to my NFL team & absolutely sucked. I think he’s now in broadcasting or some ****, but yeah that NFL stint put an exclamation point on his career.

Helfrich was also weird. I recalling rumors were that he was calling Chip in 2016 to come back to UO so he could be the OC. I never heard of a HC doing that.

It’s doesn’t? MH&WT combined for A .500 record for 3 years following all of Chip’s success. A rolling average class ranking of 21 during that time doesn’t reflect a poor recruiting operation? 2 bowl appearances, both losses, in three years, following a national championship run in 14 doesn’t reflect the state of the poor state of program?
Are you telling me that Willie Taggart’s initial installation of operations would’ve been successful if he stayed?🤣
Again, I’m not simping for Mario. He clearly has issues and I’ve said as much. But to act like he didn’t turn that program around and hand Lanning a very solid product or that he took over Miami in a similar condition is the height of MDS.

‘16 & ‘17 were their worst years. ‘17 MC was the co-offensive coordinator/OL I believe. The team struggled once Herbert got hurt. ‘16 they struggled when they brought in a grad transfer at qb and he struggled until the staff decided to play Herbert. You’re acting like Oregon was in the pits. 2014 they went to the title game. ‘15 Vernon Adams was hurt earlier in the season but once he returned healthy they couldn’t be stopped. The program wasn’t a disaster.

Mario left Lanning with a full cupboard.

As to championships? Well, Lanning got his *** kicked by Taint when it counted, not during the season when it didn't.

We can't tell about Miami and Cristobal, because we never got the chance to see Cam Ward and his team perform in a playoff environment. Given the horrific defense we saw this year, that's probably a good thing.

Losing to Taint in a shootout would not have been good for morale around here. And given the fact that they have Jeremiah Smith against our Pop Warner Secondary, I'm fairly certain that that's how things would have played out.

This narrative needs to stop. Last year, Lanning got rid of most of Mario’s players and won the Big 10 in his first year in the conference. Now beating OSU during the season doesn’t count? Hater.

Mario couldn’t get in the ACC championship game with Cam Ward. That’s plenty to tell about Mario.

We can only hope it will happen here.

Yeah, has nothing to do with unlimited NIL money that Phil Knight opened up a year ago, or the fact that the transfer portal has become even more massive the past three years since Mario left.

He left Lanning a program in great shape and Uncle Phil poured gas on that fire; Cristobal took over a dumpster fire that Diaz left behind and a Miami program that had been an underfunded joke for 20 years—averaging 7-5 a season from 2006 through 2021 before he took over.

Dude has an uphill battle and defense was abysmal this year, but just decent play on that side of the ball Miami goes 13-0, wins the ACC and is in the CFP and nobody is whining about the guy.

Ohio State got his teeth kicked in with undefeated Oregon and the Buckeyes sent them packing three days after this post was made, so have to assume the love affair with Danny Boy has lost some deserve steam since.

There are literally too many of these to count

"Worst coaching decision of all-time!" - HC Mario Cristobal faces fans' heat for his blunderous call of not kneeling the ball despite Miami Hurricanes having a lead eventually resulting in Georgia Tech's comeback

Only 30 seconds were remaining on the clock, and the Miami Hurricanes just had to take a knee and run the clock down against the Georgia Tech Yellow

They recruit better than us but stil not good enough to beat upper echelon teams.........but funny asf they spend all that money and cant evaluate better than the top teams

They beat every single upper echelon team they played including OSU ...they only lost the second time around Oregon was flat and OSU was on fire ...it happens and in fact happened to OSU when they played a sub .500 Michigan team a few weeks prior.

Oregon isn't going anywhere...their schedule next season almost assures they will be undefeated or have one loss and be in the CFP again next year and the year after that especially the way Lanning and Co can recruit and the size of PK's wallet

OK, say u ain’t fried, b/c 1/4 of this board fa sho r. Lol.

I don’t think UO is a CFP team this yr under Mario b/c let’s be frank, a Mario coached team even at his time at Oregon played down to competition. Listen, we’re fortunate to be 10-3, & that’s on everything I love. I saw a poorly coached team for 3 yrs now.

I also say UO is fortunate to be the #1 seed b/c OSU should’ve beat them in the regular season. They still would be a CFP team, but this game was personal for OSU. A lot of pro’s had OSU winning. Now, I would be lying if I told u I expected this level of dominance, but yeah I made some $$ today b/c I thought OSU would win by 10.

I’ve been one of the few on here defending Day; he’s a helluva coach, & he has arguably the most talented roster from top to bottom out of any top 15 team. Harbaugh is a helluva coach, too, w/ NFL experience. Look at LAC right now in yr 1 of Harbaugh w/ limited weapons around Herbert. So calling for his head after OSU’s losses to UofM is & was premature.

Lanning learned from yr 1 to yr 2, he learned from yr 2 to yr 3. I’m sure he’ll learn from this yr, as well. Regardless, this should’ve been a Final 4 matchup, not Final 8.

Oregon beat OSU during the regular season because they passed for more yards and rushed for more yards and had more total offense than they did ...I was at that game and the idea that somehow Oregon lucked out and won is bull****. Even if Howard hadn't of tried to run on the last play the field goal attempt their kicker would have been left with was 40-45+ yards and not exactly a gimme for a kickr who has never made one over 46 yards in his life and missed 2 under 39 yds with 33% kicking efficiency against Michigan several weeks prior. If you think Oregon just got lucky winning that game then you need to take the time to watch it. OSU got lucky playing mistake free football during the first half against Oregon because thy most assuredly lost the second half.
