I prefer Canzano to Jaynes if I'm being honest. But tired of Mike Riley. The Beavers forum I go to....a ton of them act like Riley is the coaching Jesus.
When I was a kid Dwight Jaynes wrote article after article saying that OSU and U of O should leave the Pac 10 because they could never compete. If Washington State can be competitive in the Pac 12 then so can OSU. Just gotta find the right coach.
I like Mike Riley and I like Gary Anderson....coaching is not the Beavers problem....having no depth and size is their problem, always has been...you can't have a defensive line that's smaller than the other team's offensive line.....Beavs have recruiting problems...and limited resources unlike the Ducks...Minnesota ran right through that defensive line right up the middle play after play....they're going to get crushed in the Pac 12 no matter if you get a Chip Kelly...they have coaching but no talent or size up front....Spud Webb can't be your middle linebacker and your recievers can't drop the ball 7 times in a game.
I cheer for every Oregon sports franchise across the board and in sports we don't have I cheer for the closest NW franchise usually.....during the Civil War I always root for the Beavs.....I relate to the underdogs of the world!
Well recruiting talent and coaching the talent you recruit is part of the job... so, that falls on Anderson.
there's no parity in college sports like that....kid has a choice between any Pac12 team, he's not going to commit to Corvalis over Eugene or Washington...facilities impress kids too....Beavs don't have much flash to sell young guys with...that's why I think their baseball tradition is so amazing....time will tell if Anderson can get them to win but he's trying to rebuild a bottom feeding team right now.
God I fucking hate Canzano and his writing style. He's a self righteous piece of shit. And he of course had to insert himself into this woman's story. As usual.
