    Do we know whether or not he was interviewed and offered or are we just speculating?

    69-10. And we could have scored 100.

    A lot of reports said he was interviewed. Couple days ago OreonLive even reported it was all but done deal he would be hired.

    I would have gave him the job atleast he’s coached a program before and was really successful at Eastern. Guy was beating Pac 12 teams

    I'm going on a limb and thinking Baldwin wasn't interested.

    There's no way OSU CHOSE Smith over Baldwin. No way in hell.

    Don't get too carried away though. Lots and lots of Oregon fans shit their pants when they hired Taggart.

    Well, Canzano just implied that Riley or Erickson will be on the coaching staff.

    God willing it won't be Hip Hip Hooray.

    Well, if nothing, it will make their defense look better by comparison.

    I think it's a good hire. Lots of potential, he is the one who developed Browning at UW. Idk how well he recruits but OSU isn't a school that's gonna get more than 1 or 2 four star kids a draft class anyway. Their bread and butter is turning that 2/3 star kid into an NFL caliber player over a span of years. If Smith can bring that level of development and coaching then OSU can be bowl bound in a 2-3 seasons.

    Step one for both Oregon schools..

    Change your name.

    If it was a tossup between the Ducks and the Huskies for example. Huskies are way cooler

    I am wondering if Baldwin is holding out for the WSU job. Lot of speculation that Leach could be moving on. Apparently Tennessee might be is interested. The holdup is Leach's history of suing his old employer. I doubt he goes anywhere though.
