    Really not excited about this hire. Is this really the best they could do? In Taggart's defense, Altman seemed like a meh hire as well, and look what he's doing. It seems the program misses out on better candidates because of personal recomendations. Chip with Helfrich and Dungy with Taggart. This program should have Chris Peterson running it......WHO WANTED TO COME HERE.

    Really frustrated this morning. Hope I'm wrong

    It's a Damn shame really. Hopefully the Altman comparison rings True, and I'm a beaver fan.

    All the fancy toys and buildings Uncle Phil bought us and the Beavers are a better destination for a coach?!?

    Apparently he is quite the recruiter which is something the Ducks need again. They are losing out on the few prospects the state of Oregon has and that needs to change as well as making a bigger impact outside of the state.

    Also that he is a Harbaugh guy....that doesn't hurt.

    Out of the batch of guys mentioned that were a realistic possibility, he's the one I wanted.

    Former quarterback, who ran a innovative offense at South Florida, great recruiter and his teams got better every year. Good hire.

    His defenses are awful, they better nail the defensive coordinator hire this time.

    Pretty underwhelming, honestly.

    Unpopular question: Does this hire have anything to do with UO taking heat over racism lately?

    Anybody know if this guy plays hurry-up offense, or are we looking at going back to a traditional huddle mode?

    As long as we bring in a top notch DC and staff I can stomach this... but man, Fleck or Rhule would've been better options imo.
