Agreed, the talent makes him look better than he is. It’s the Helfrich effect.wepto wrote: Sat Sep 27, 2025 6:41 pmStein hasn't and isn't getting high level offers. Dillingham got poached after one year. Teams don't wait. Programs pay consultants to watch film during coaching searches, and Stein isn't grading out. He's average and benefiting from the top talent Oregon has. It's similar to what happened with Arroyo.Everythingsducky wrote: Sat Sep 27, 2025 6:30 pmYou are all ridiculous. Keep in mind, the Ducks were Dogs, and they have played great. I cringe at your questioning of Stein, whom will be a HC next year. Just be happy we have Stein this year.OregonFan4Life wrote: Sat Sep 27, 2025 6:22 pmI know I’m crazy but I completely agree. I feel like Stein gets timid on the big stage and his playcalling doesn’t allow the team to get in a rhythm and requires a high level of execution putting too much pressure on the players. We have had moments with solid playcalls that it felt like Oregon could keep momentum with only for the offense to slow down and follow that big gain with a pretty conservative one. Doesn’t feel like Stein’s playcalling capitalizes on momentum on the big stage.wepto wrote: Sat Sep 27, 2025 6:12 pm Another game where Stein underperforms versus top level competition. Offense is (still) geared around beating the hell out of bad teams. Far from optimal against actual contenders.

Hill should be RB1. It's ridiculous that he's #3.

Something is not right with Whittington, I am one of his biggest fans but he just seems off.

Oregon losing this game more than Penn State winning it.
