Got to admit. Leavitt actually kept them in the game but can blame most of the players for failing to show up? You fired Helfrich and then replaced him with a hired gun that bailed the moment something better came up. Without someone who gives a shit about the program at the helm why should the players care? Dame, Diego Valeri, Rich Brooks.... short list of sports figures who CHOOSE to be here. Taggart was just renting. Oregon's mouth got too big for its stomach. And nos without any stability the program is beginning to unravel.
It's over, we will never be relevant again. Fuck. Always the Mariners, Then the Blazers, now the Ducks, and quickly upcoming the Seahawks... my sports life sucks
Once again beav fans spend more time invested in rooting against the ducks than they do rooting for the beavs.
Had a good run though. Problem is you can't keep a lifetime coach. There isn't the financial or cultural draw to make anybody stay. You can go back to when John Robinson, George Seifert and Norv Turner were assistant coaches here. Its just a stepping stone.
With all the money invested we should feel bad. Big frauds. Fuck I hate being from a no talent shit hole like Oregon. Our schools will never compete.
Who cares about facilities. You can't be sun, sexually adventurous coeds and frat parties. Chase Cota chose UCLA after they fired their coach?! It inevitable bro.
Dame Altman is a HOF coach. They locked him up. Gave him what he wanted to succeed. He isn't going anywhere. Chip didn't want to stay here. This isn't a top flight destination for football. UCLA he can recruit in a lawn chair. I don't know why it's so hard for Oregon fans to accept that football isn't king here. Its a basketball state.
Chase Cota grew up in Southern Oregon, I'm not surprised he wanted to get out of the state for a while.
