Great work Cristobal

While true that Oregon is still 'mostly' Taggart's doing...Mario has placed a totally unprepared, lackadaisical, clueless, undisciplined football team on the field, and that's his doing! Additionally, the game plan on both sides of the ball is atrocious. Fair or not, in today's college football world this performance sets the tone with Oregon's fan base, which could make for a short ride concerning Mario's tenure.

I wouldn't even call it Taggart's doing, he was only there twelve months. Frankly, you could say that this is Mark Helfrich's product, with some slightly better coaching going on. Let's be honest, Oregon is a greasefire, something that their football program has been throughout their history. The last 20 or so years were an outlier, and I wouldn't be shocked if UO went back to being a nothing program, albeit a well funded one.

20 years? How about less than 10, with a good 5 in that. And that 5 was 3 years ago.

Oregon started being a constant bowl team, an 8-10 win program under Rich Brooks, and that continued under Mike Belotti, who had the Ducks in position to claim a split title, had Miami lost in 2001. Chip Kelly took them to a higher level, where they were a national force, but the program had been building to that over the previous 15 or so years.

If you meant the Oregon success, during the time, was an outlier relative to Oregon's history...we agree. If that was your message and I misunderstood, my apologies.

If you meant Oregon was an outlier, relative to other programs, because it was simply so successful, then we disagree. Here is Oregon over the past 20 years. Belloitti got them above 3rd in the then PAC 10 4 times in 12 years. And within those he tied for second and first, once each.

I don't think Bellotti's success had much to do with what Chip did. I think it was Kelly's system, Nike's stamp of approval, and the perfect timing of the early adolescence of social media (look at me and my uni!) But Mike did hire Chip, so there you go.

Hahaha. Love the guys insinuating the Oregon players have been though soooooo much. They voted for and got Luigi as their corch.....and then **** the bed for him. Just a sign of what's to come in the future at Nike U.

FSU just hired a 7-6 head coach! Brilliant!

 

[simplycanes]

He's been there like 3 minutes. Jesus christ. SMH

It's a longer leash than they gave Richt

 

[SmokeyRone]

More to do with Taggart than Mario. The noles got a good one lol

Yeah. Cant blame Little Mario for the depravity of Taggert. LOL, the pathetic interim coaches bowl games: Charlie Skrong at UF against Fester, Radio against ......someone in that Peasant Bowl we played in Idaho after Fester was fired, our bowl in 2015


BTW, why did Mario get fired at FIU? I never knew.

 

[Earnest T. Bass]

He's been there 3 minutes? He was there all season and played a major role in Oregon's football culture.

To be clear, I've always liked Mario and will never understand how anyone could have been so terribly stupid to fire him at FIU. But, yesterday's performance was horrendous and the lack of quality coaching concerning preparation, game planning and game day management was glaring and will raise questions by Oregon's administration...and fan base.

In today's college football coaching there are no honeymoon's and Mario could have an "ex" in front of his name quicker than you can say, Pete Garcia.

After Coker was fired, he was allowed to coach the team against UNLV. Shannon took over after the game. Jeff Stoutland and Larry Scott were the only Interim Head Coaches I can name.

If you already had jumped on the Luigi demise bandwagon, the loss to Boise St. seems to be an (I told you so).
But Mario didn't have enough time at UO to be fully culpable for the loss. And with some of the coaching staff probably leaving in other directions, team cohesiveness was absent and will require hard work to restore. The Ducks totally svcked in every stat dept., QB Herbert was terribly off and so was the defense. Mario's job is to get this squad prepared and focused in nine months, and to work on recruitment which is his forte.
I for one hope he succeeds. And I for one don't really care if he coaches the U or not... I'm fine with a successful CMR.

Oh yeah. My bad. They let Fester coach to shield Radio, Im 100% convinced. imagine if we got a peak at that dumbfounded, stupid look of his in the Bowl? The gig would have been up. His first season as HC was excused because of "DeCokerization", and Freeman. Wouldnt have been so if he was exposed as the dullard in that bowl game.....

I love how people think that a guy who has had the job for a week all of a sudden has his stamp on the program.

What, you mean like the 27-47 stamp on the program he had at his last head coaching spot?
