Cristobal was Way Better Than Lanning at Oregon

Yeah? Can you list two games he lost while ranked inside the top ten to unranked teams coming off a double digit losing streak?
Utah
No. Not even close.

And I asked for two because your comment strongly implied there were more than one of these instances. “Plenty of these” I believe were the exact words you used.

Side note. Thank you for replying like a gentleman.
 
Those two games he dropped to Utah, the one at Utah and the PAC 12 Championship in Vegas were not close. He had a good team out there and won the Rose Bowl, but those two losses to the Utes stick out.
And I think he learned a lesson. Need to focus even more on both lines. Utah beat them up, we haven’t won every game but we haven’t been pushed around the last two years.

Stanford, Arizona state. Shall I proceed?
I’m not debating the soft part. I’m struggling to see even one loss he had that fits the parameters I listed.

The teams you’ve listed were not good. None of them were epically bad either. On the flip side, and without verifying on my end, I don’t believe Mario’s Duck teams were top 10 when they lost to those squads. I’m looking for the combo of top 10 losing to a complete mess of a team.

Just to be clear, I’m not implying Mario is not without his warts. I am simply pointing to what you said as being more hyperbole than reality IMO.
 
Mario Cristobal served as the head football coach of the Oregon Ducks from late 2017 (taking over before the 2017 Las Vegas Bowl) through the end of the 2021 regular season.

Over his tenure in Eugene, Cristobal compiled an overall record of **35–13** (.729 winning percentage), winning two Pac-12 Championships (2019, 2020) and a Rose Bowl title (2019 season).

Bro, you're good with me. True transparency I had zero clue how many stinkers Mario dropped at oregon. I always remember Utah giving him the business but there's some really bad losses in there

I don’t disagree with any of that. There are some bad losses. None of them are as bad as what happened today. That’s it.
