Naw, that's like the joke about how "a P12 team that just played in the P12 CG is playing a school with a religious zeal for its football program and almost unlimited funds.Everythingsducky wrote:Evidently the new BIG12 team couldn’t pay what the new SEC teams can pay.

Honestly, I doubt Deboer would be a candidate at Michigan due to his pass heavy offensive philosophy. They're a "3 yards and a cloud of dust" type of school.5$ wrote:I'm guessing we'll be adding Harbaugh's name to this list soon, who replaces him? Their OC, DeBoer, someone else?

I think this year is different, because he's had to deal with the multiple suspensions, he's hired a new agent that generally represents NFL players and coaches, and now he's accomplished his main goal at Michigan. He's also been pretty evasive about his plans the past few weeks. So, I think there's much more smoke than previous years. Now that he has the NCAA championship under his belt, I'm sure his next goal is to get a Super Bowl championship.OregonFan4Life wrote:I wouldn’t automatically consider Harbaugh as gone, this is now the third year in a row where all signs showed that he was ditching for the NFL.

Of course some don't like his 22-5 record so they'll think we can do better anyways.
Yeah, at least we got that quarterback for a year. That's the main thing.Duck07 wrote:Let our off-season madness begin!

I can't see Alabama going after Lanning. He's an up and coming coach who I think has a great future ahead of him, but he doesn't have the experience yet to take over a program like the Tide.pezsez1 wrote:I don't see Lanning leaving for Alabama. Sure, anything's possible, but let's consider what we know to be true:
1) Money isn't a factor. Lanning would probably be gone already if it was. Also, we can match any offer.
2) Lanning clearly loves it here. I don't think we've ever had a coach who's been such a cheerleader for the Ducks and Eugene.
3) He just said like two months ago that he would absoultely be here next season -- and he couldn't have been more emphatic about it.
4) He doesn't have a B1G or SEC dream job.
5) He is bringing in our best recruitng class ever with our best transfer class ever and probably keeping the most upperclassmen that we've ever kept in the CFP era.
Sure, I'm a little worried. I'm alive, and living things react to things. But logically? Nah.
I also think Alabama could do better. Lanning is entering his third year and (from an outsider perspective) he still hasn't done anything that Mario Cristobal hasn't done. I'd think Alabama will want either a proven winner or someone from the NFL.
My darkhorse gamble pick: Ryan Day from Ohio State. He'd get to escape the pressure of losing three consecutive years to Michigan (and Michigan winning a natty) while jumping to another program built for national championships.
Yep, Urban is always one of those names, and enough time has passed for people to forget his more undesirable qualities.I wouldn't be shocked to see Urban Meyer's name mentioned. Yes, he has baggage, but the guy is a proven winner. He could step right in and have them competing for championships on day one.
