Oso planning to go pro
I rather enjoy the fact people who are attacking Kelly for leaving for a better job and ridiculous money most could only dream about wouldn't hesitate more than 30 seconds before doing the same. As one college coach texted to me this morning while sending that clip, "$100 million would change my definition of 'family' really quickly."
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
He's a total jagoff who has been disliked outside of on the field success everywhere he's went. Gotta try to do something to charm the locals!
This is wild.https://www.columbian.com/news/2021/dec/03/burnt-ends-and-blowing-smoke-brian-kelly-at-vancouver-home-of-notre-dame-recruit-merriweather-when-news-of-lsu-departure-broke/
Great atmosphere at the Pac 12 championship game last night. They moved it to Vegas and it was probably 3/4 Utah fans. My guess is that they'll be all over Pasadena as well.And having Mario Christobal as your head coach must be the most infuriating experience. All the resources in the world, great recruiting, but shi**ting the bed when it matters most.
That is a charitable way to frame his tenure at OregonHe has been their four full years. In his second year, they indeed had a great year with Justin Herbert as QB.Last year, they only went to the Pac-12 championship with a 4-3 record because Washington had a COVID outbreak. Then got hammered by Iowa State in the Fiesta Bowl.This year they beat Ohio State in September. Then played a schedule that included only two ranked teams - both were Utah and both were blowout losses. Oh and they lost to a Stanford team that finished 3-9.And the last few years the Pac 12 has been historically bad. Who has been the second best team in the Pac 12 during Christobal's tenure? I'm not saying he is a terrible coach or that he should be fired, but this feels how his tenure has played out. Some good wins, some head scratching losses, and a lot of inconsistent play.
Welcome to college football. Oregon isn’t a blue blood. Very good program with a lot of great resources. A lot of programs would take the last 4 years at Oregon
Again, I am not disputing this. You don't seem to be reading what I am writing. They are a program that recruits well but at key points of the season, doesn't perform. And that's more than a "welcome to college football" type of issue.This is kind of what I mean.https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/john_canzano/2021/12/canzano-another-utah-throttling-of-oregon-ducks-leaves-questions-only-mario-cristobal-can-answer.html
Maybe Utah is better? Kyle Whittingham is a pretty good coach, too. It’s entirely possible Mario Cristobal recognizes this and will adjust accordingly. I get what you’re saying. I disagree. Two years ago, they didn’t have any late season issues. I suppose we can give all the credit to Justin Herbert if that’s the narrative we want. I’d probably be more concerned if they had lost two games late that season versus this.
Isn’t that kind of the point? Cristobal is a good enough coach to have them in the top 20 most years with a chance to compete in the playoffs when it all comes together. However, he’s doesn’t have them a the level of an OSU or Oklahoma who are routinely in the hunt for a playoff spot.
Oklahoma State playoffs hope are here on this final drive on ABC.
That was unbelievable.
Eight plays in the fourth quarter inside the five and no touchdowns.
