Joe Brady, just let go as OC of Carolina Panthers. He was the OC at LSU under ED O. Coached Joe Burrow to probably best offensive season in college football history and a Heisman. That is a good outside the box pick and I doubt anybody will think of and makes a lot of sense. |

As Utah was winning on Friday night I commented to those in my house listening... I'm surprised Wittingham hasn't been hired away from Utah. I think he is a very good coach. Maybe some school's have tried? Anyway, he has my respect for sure. I think we care because they are our rival... and it used to be we were recruiting the same kids. My observation is the best coaches who wanted to move have moved. And the price of poker has gone up substantially. Buy in now starts north of $8 mil per year! Between what coaches are getting paid and the NIL... it really feels like we are about to have 2 different leagues of College Football. Just my worry. Whittingham has had numerous opportunities to leave for other positions and he's stayed. He seems to be one of the few lifer's left. |

I checked out one of the hole boards. It seems that the top three FWIW are Chipper - Wilcox - Kiffin and as a throw in Deion Sanders.
Hell - why not Snoop Dog? He like football - would be a solid fit.

I give s%#t not....
I'm just happy to see that whoregon thinks they are more of "destination" school than they are. The reality is, you try to go national, this is what happens. I think they try to go big with this hire as uncle Phil is desperately trying to buy a national championship before he dies......dudes 83. I can't wait for 3-4 years from now when the same thing happens!

I know where I posted this thread . You don't think Beavers talk about the Ducks and visa versa ? We may not like each other all that much but I am sure each side is interested in what the other is doing especially at a time like this I'm not sure someone replied below before I read thru, but you missed the point. Talking about ucks or whoever is fine. There's just correct threads that correspond to certain topics. Otherwise threads become unwieldy and even more off topic than usual... at times. The point being topic is fine, but not about OSU football sho it should be under a different thread. |

They seem to be thinking short term these days down south when it comes to coaching hires. If that's the case then their biggest short term need is an immediate impact QB. Would not surprise to see them to try something similar to UW, hire a coach who brings a proven QB with him. That would rule Wilcox and Kelly out as I believe both QBs are out or eligibility.
That leaves?

I wonder if Kelly thinks his history at Oregon and turn eyes back to the program for the read-option guys out there and see if they can be the next Mariota for them. Who knows. I think given the choice between the two, and what just happened at USC, recruiting to UCLA just got a whole lot harder. Kelly to Oregon would not surprise me one bit, and I think UCLA also would not be sad to see him go. Only question is if Oregon wants to cough up $6M+ a year for him. |

Kelly to Oregon would not surprise me one bit, and I think UCLA also would not be sad to see him go. Only question is if Oregon wants to cough up $6M+ a year for him. As UM just showed, even at a storied program like they are, it takes some time to build a high level winner after the program has been down. Much like UCLA hiring Kelly, when UM hired Harbaugh he was their guy and they rode it out a little longer and were rewarded. My impression when Kelly took the UCLA job was he wanted to plant his roots somewhere close to a recruiting hotbed where he felt their was big upside and where he could build something lasting. He's not the tireless recruiter highly needed by a non-geographically talent rich program to be successful. He seems more well suited for where he's at, close to talent. Could UCLA have cooled off on him as their HC? Possible, but their history of coaches/successful seasons over past 15 years hasn't been great so to push out a guy who just convincingly beat both their biggest traditional rivals at end of a winning season and with a chance to pick up a 9th win seems unlikely to me. |

What about PJ Fleck? Did he interview last time? I thought he was on their list.

Whoever it is will use Oregon as a stepping stone to move on to a prestigious gig like Texas Texh or Cincinnati.

After going 11-2 and #10 in the nation in 2019, he has gone 11-8 over the last two years. 8-4 this year with a bad loss to Illinois, but a good win against Wisconsin. bottom line, looks more flash in the pan than great. |

Kelly to Oregon would not surprise me one bit, and I think UCLA also would not be sad to see him go. Only question is if Oregon wants to cough up $6M+ a year for him. Thompson Robinson was one of the top QBs in Pac 12 this year and I'm not certain but I think he has his Covid eligibility year if he wants to come back. They also have a 4 star stud waiting in the wings. I think Kelly's initial problem was he ripped the band aid off and basically started from scratch with a massive youth movement. He has also drastically changed his offensive philosophy from Oregons heyday. The play fast thing is not how UCLA operates, and it certainly won't be when Garbers takes over. Lastly, If UCLA is happy to see him go...who are they going to get now to replace him, and go up against Lincoln Riley on the recruiting trail? Chipper will have a tough enough time doing that. Good luck to his replacement this late in the game. Lastly Lastly, and I have no idea if this is true, but I think Kelly hated Hole boosters and one in particular, meddling with the program. I doubt he deals with that at all at UCLA. If Kelly goes back to Oregon, it's either a financial decision (huge contract) or he just dislikes LA. Oregon is far more New Hampshire than SoCal. |
