Around SBN: VIDEO: Austin Rivers' Buzzer Beater Finishes Off UNC

Fire Aliotti. Reason #1.

Mike Bellotti in August, per the Daily Emerald:

At Monday's press conference, Oregon head football coach Mike Bellotti said that he considers his cadre of defensive backs among the best secondary units in the nation.

Oregon's pass defense through week six:

111 Oregon

One hundred and eleventh.  Behind such talent-laden secondaries as Buffalo, Washington, Navy, Syracuse, Rice, and Florida International.

GO DUCKS!!!

Shh. Not so loud.

We should try to get Buffalo, Washington, Navy, Syracuse, Rice, or Florida International to hire NA as head coach.

Let him go to Portland State

I watched most of their loss to Washington State. I don’t care what division you play in. If you give up points to the Cougs this season you need a new D-coordinator. Let NA go be a Viking.

What's the vibe about Glanville in PDX, anyway?

If I still lived there I’d probably have a sense, but I don’t, so I can’t. Do you?

I have no idea

But I feel like a major geek because I’m often very entertained by Camp Glanville.

There is a common denominator. It’s Aliotti. 111 is awful, even if it is an “off-year”.
We were talking about expectations – I expect more. We’re only a few passes from being 119th. aka the worst.

Exactly right.

It’s simple. We know we don’t have 111th ranked talent. It comes down to preparation and execution. In my book that’s 50% coaches and 50% players. And you can’t fire the players.

Passing yards is a stupid stat...

Granted, we do suck, we’re 69th in pass efficiency defense.

Last year, our TD:Int ratio was 1:1. This year it’s 2:1. Our completion percentage given up is 58% instead of 52 last year. However, our passes per completion is 6.8 compared to 6.55 last year.

Things are bad, sure, but not quite as bad as they looked on Saturday.

6.8

Is our passes/completion? I thought that was the yards per attempt on that graph…

yeah...

That’s what I meant… yards per attempt. Sorry.

Alright

Just making sure I wasn’t reading the graph wrong.

Bellotti's not stupid

He knew exactly what he was saying. Unless he’s somehow changed his mind in a big way about the talent, there can really be only one explanation — and only one course of action.

Of course, I hope he stays. :-)

Keep Aliotti

Chip Kelley is the problem. Fire Kelley!
Bellotti and Aliotti are a tag team force from hell

Have I ever wanted anything bad to happen to the Ducks

Of course not….

You gotta give these things time. Aliotti hasn’t had the time to get his guys in there…

About once a year at least...

Except this is nearly the same personal as last year.
It wasn’t like we swapped out our front 7.

It's actually closer to like 12 weeks a year

For football anyways, then there’s always basketball season, and now, baseball as well.
