Quack Fix: Oregon finishes season ranked 11th, basketball teams prepare for Civil War
Well, that's it. Nine months until college football is back in our lives. Qsouther said it best. At least we have some quack to get us through day 1.
- Oregon ended up 11th in the final AP poll. It would have been nice to have ended up in the top 10, but I'll take a Pac-10 championship any day. USC was the only other Pac-10 team to end up ranked, and they sit at 22.
- LaMichael James and John Boyett were named to the FWAA freshmen all-America team, and Chip Kelly was named the first year coach. While the James pick was obvious, it's nice to see Boyett getting some love. He was superb this season, played excellent coverage, and made some big hits. I'm excited to see him anchoring our secondary for the next three years.
- The Oregon women are looking for their first 3-0 start in conference play since 2001. They play OSU in Corvallis on Saturday. But despite the excitement building around the team, the Ducks aren't satisfied, and there is still "work to do" according to Coach Westhead, especially defensively. The Ducks lead the country in scoring at 87.1 ppg, and if they can improve defensively, they will be a very dangerous team.
- There's a new Duck basketball blog that just sprung up, and the writer, Jay, has an optimistic post on the Duck basketball season. While I'm still holding off on high hopes, no Pac-10 distancing itself from the rest of the conference, and the Ducks have a great shot to win some basketball games. With Malcolm Armstead, Tajuan Porter, and Michael Dunigan playing well, they will be competitive with every team in the Pac-10. And who knows, the WSU could end up being a galvanizing moment for the Ducks, much like the Cal win was for the Oregon football team.
- Speaking of Dunigan, the RG has a profile on him today. Dunigan grew up in one of the worst sections of Chicago, and hated basketball when it was foisted upon him. But, he's grown to love it, and has taken major strides this season. This is a great piece about a kid you really want to succeed, so check it out.
As always, leave your other quack below. GO DUCKS!

We really don't have any questions going into next year...
We replace two dlinemen but I think you gotta say that it’s Rowe, Bair, Clark and Turner that are the de facto starters going into camp. I am actually excited about that foursome. Clark is up to 280-285 and is looking more and more like a DT. Another offseason and the two inside guys, Bair and Clark, should be a pretty good duo.
I think on defense you gotta think that guys like Kaddu and Clay could push for a starting spot. Clay just a beast but the current starting trio is very experienced, so most likely guys just get more snaps. Kaddu at time looked better than Pleasant.
Don't Cry, Texas Fan
I do not want to hear the “what if’s” from Longhorn fan. Seriously. This is football, you have injuries, guys get hurt. Sometimes at bad times in the season.
I will never, ever, forget that sinking feeling I had when Dixon went down at Zona three years ago.
So, yea, don’t cry Texas fan. Let this be your warning right now.
Deal with it.
“What if”s are fine. “What if”s (together with "if"s) make analysis. The problem doesn’t start until someone uses the “What if”s to try to slap an asterisk on the W or the L.

I wonder where we are next year...
had a little debate about in the office today. We should definitely be in the top 10 but with BSU returning everyone, Alabama to be #1, etc., you have to think top 5 is too high. Experience isn’t going to solve our issue on defense, which is stopping power teams.
ESPN is reporting the Seahawks are trying to go after Caroll
If he goes, I have two thoughts:
1. Hall-freaking-lujah (whatever you might think about the guy and his ethics, USC’s FB team has been the class of the Pac).
2. USC is about to get nailed by the NCAA and he’s getting out of dodge before they take the hit.

I am not convinced. This is clearly all speculation on my part, but USC would be quite an opportunity. Maybe he realized AD is not a job he’s all that interested in.

He can always be a TV analyst. I’ve enjoyed his commentary during the replays this year.

Right. But he did meet with them. I would think (hypothetically) that USC would be a much more attractive offer.
Agreed. Not saying he wouldn’t listen. Just saying he wouldn’t take it. It would be like divorcing your wife after 20 years and immediately marrying her sister. Weird hypo but it illustrates the point.

But what if her sister was really hot..
.. and you’d both been secretly nudging each other under the table at family dinners for years, even had a fling with her ten years ago but caught a case of buyer’s remorse and went back to the wife, and you finally got that divorce because your wife found someone younger and hotter, and you took a year off to get your mojo back, and all of a sudden you find out her sister’s husband just dumped her to become a Seattle gigolo..

Honestly,
I think ’SC goes for someone with a little more flash than MB. Ck would be flashier at this point but Oregon has the horses to run his system.
I think I am projecting my desire for...
UW to remain in the toilet. Seriously, if I had to choose between UW remaining in the toilet or dethroning USC, I might just pick the former.
UW is going to be at best a bowl team
Next year, then Locker leaves and they’re back to suck (unless Montana turns out good).

I don’t think it is out of the realm of possibility that USC could go after MB. I just don’t think he would be interested in jumping back into that type of scrutiny and pressure that comes with that job.
Especially since he did so well as a commentator. I think he could live very easily with a lot less stress and anxiety and still be involved in CFB being a TV guy then going after the USC CFB rat race.
Just my thoughts

I agree with this. Plus, I just don’t know that USC is gonna go after Bellotti.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
From ESPN:
League sources tell ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that the Seahawks are targeting longtime USC coach Pete Carroll as Mora’s replacement. Carroll did not return messages, but a league source said Carroll is interested in the job and is trying to persuade Trojans offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates to join him in Seattle, as opposed to Bates pursuing the same position with the Chicago Bears.
Said another source close to Carroll: “You’re about to see a big headline that shakes up the major college football word,” in reference to the Seahawks’ development. The Seahawks did not confirm Carroll as a leading candidate but also did not deny it.
Espn makes it sound like its a done deal!
Wouldn’t it be nice, if that happens, to steal some of their recruits?

Or if some merely go elsewhere in the country (to non Pac-10 schools).

I have to say, this makes sense for Carroll. Seattle is pretty low-key in terms of media scrutiny (and certainly nowhere near what he got in New England). He leaves on a bit of a low note, but no one can really question his record at USC, whereas with players leaving early and the Pac 10 getting deeper, USC could be in for a run of middling finishes. He leaves before, as you say, the proverbial shit hits the fan in terms of recruiting violations. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go now.

I’m sure they could get a former NFL head coach. Gruden? Cowher? Someone else along those lines? USC can promise a lot of great things without the stress of putting up with ownership at the NFL level.

Gruden won’t leave the booth this year, not even for the nfl. Cowher is an nfl coach. He will not go to college.

I’m just saying the coaches who come from the nfl to the ncaa have not been successful head coaches at the nfl level.
Carroll, butch davis, bobby petrino, steve spurrier, etc. All these guys were unsuccessful at the nfl level.
by westspec on Jan 8, 2010 1:30 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
Also, I was specifically avoiding mentioning the Spurrier’s and Petrino’s, since those were guys who made their names at the college level, then went up to the pro’s, failed, and came back.
Carroll was always an NFL guy. No, he wasn’t successful, but that’s more the type of guy I was referring to.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I was more just throwing out names than anything else, mainly because USC got Carroll from the NFL ranks and he turned out pretty well for them. I don’t know if there’s anyone else like that they could pluck. I have no idea what Gruden and Cowher are actually looking for, but I think USC would start by asking guys like that, just to kick the tires, and then move down the list.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
This would be an incredibly interesting scenario. I think he would not be very successful at USC. You gotta hit the recruiting trail HARD there, and never let up. Riley has never shown that.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Yeah, there’s a location disadvantage for OSU, but no worse than a lot of other schools. Riley is pulling in recruiting classes (at least in terms of star ratings) on par with Duke and Southern Miss. He simply doesn’t recruit the big players. He may be able to do that, but he’s never shown one inkling that it’s something he wants to do.
Riley goes after a very specific type of player, and is good with that, but doesn’t seem to get into the big recruiting battles very often, and he rarely wins those.
All USC needs is an energetic motivator who is competent at the Xs and Os of football. Riley doesn’t fit that at all.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
What does Corvallis have to offer?
Academics aren’t exactly stellar (football players usually aren’t going into engineering or forest management), no Nike connection, and a fanbase that isn’t rabid. It’s not just a location issue. That school offers hardly anthing except Pac-10 prestige, a good coaching staff and the proverbial family atmosphere.
UO at least has Nike, Phil Knight’s money, uniforms, athletic facilities and a great marketing program that attracts athletes. It’s not just the location, which is not good but also the whole package. We have know idea, in my opinion, how Riley will recruit the upper eschelon recruits. Last year he did seem to get Phillips & Wheaton to come to OSE.
He’s pulling in the same level of recruits as Southern Miss…. I don’t care how crappy Corvallis is (hasn’t hurt Craig Robinson all that much, btw), that’s just sad. It doesn’t exactly build confidence in his ability to recruit.
Energy and enthusiasm and getting kids excited about your school (regardless of location) is the most important aspect of recruiting. Look at what Ron Zook did at Illinois for a couple years. What does podunk Illinois have to offer? Riley had multiple seasons of 10 wins seasons and all the other things Beaver fans like to talk about. But he made absolutely no strides in recruiting.
So yeah, while we don’t know for sure that Riley would be a bust at a place like USC, he has given us no reason to think that he would be a good recruiter at a place like USC.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Riley is smart not to get into recruiting battles...
I just looked up Scout’s rankings he he was #48 last year and #61 last year. Both years he was ranked right above Virginia. Ron Zook came from Florida and went to a school in podunk Illinois that has a much bigger recruiting base than a podunk town in Oregon. The NW isn’t exactly fertile ground. So. Miss actually has a good reputation and recruits in the fertile south. Remember, they have a fervent fanbase and are perennial conference champions.
I get that Riley’s laid back demeanor is kind of an odd pick for flashy LA. However, you have to think that maybe Riley would be an excellent pick to fend off investigators with his “wholesome” image. He will recruit a shade lower than Carroll but with his acumen there is no reason to believe he can’t have them producing at a high level than OSU that is almost always in a Pac-10 race.
I think there’s a good chance he could do much worse than a “shade” lower than Carroll. As you said, we don’t know about Riley, but we haven’t seen one reason why he would actually be a good big-time recruiter.
When you’re making excuses for his recruiting prowess, chances are you’re not a big time recruiter.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I think you're way off base on this one, Jared
Riley hasn’t wasted his time on 5* recruits because he knows he has nothing in Corvallis to draw them in. Who’s to say that he couldn’t do it at SC—he’s been there before, and location won’t be a hinderance.
Now, I don’t think he’d be as great as Carroll, but I think he’ll have no problem stockpiling 4* talent, and we know that he can develop it.
That said, I think he stays in Sheeptown. He’s already had his “the grass isn’t always greener” moment.

Addicted To Quack [dot] com

Who’s to say that he couldn’t do it at SC
He very well could. He’s just never shown anything where he could be that type of recruiter (think Harbaugh, Neuheisal, etc.). And with the recruiting field getting so competitive, USC taking a step back in that area opens a huge door for the rest of the conference.
That said, he’s not going anywhere.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I guess I don’t understand your point. He’s gotten the guys that fit his system. I think the biggest problem Oregon State has had over the years has been lack of depth. With USC, he has a good shot of resolving that issue because of what Southern Cal offers in terms of a recruiting advantage (warm weather, close to recruiting hot beds, etc).
Corvallis is a hard place to recruit to. If you take your mantra that “bowl games don’t matter”, then Riley has a VERY successful program. It doesn’t matter the recruiting stars if you win and Riley does that

I guess my point is I think Riley would be a bad fit at USC.
We just don’t know how good a recruiter Riley really is. Yeah, he gets guys for his system. But he’s not gonna be able to take that same approach at USC. He’s gonna have to go head to head with all the great recruiters in the nation for every single recruit he goes after. He’ll have better athletes at USC, but it’s a whole different ball game. Riley has a very specific system, and it has worked great at OSU. I just don’t think that translates to the level of success USC demands.
Then again, I don’t think that Pete Carroll could achieve the level of success at OSU that Mike Riley has.

I would be very surprised if Riley took the USC job. When he came back from the pros to take the OS job, one of the things he cited was how much the community embraced him coming back. When they took on Penn State two years ago, Riley talked about how much he admired JoePa’s longevity at one school. If he went to USC, he wouldn’t be back and I think his love of all things OS override the potential for success at USC

College coaches in the NFL
Some of them succeed, but they are given the chance to see those improvements fleshed out. Look at Erickson in Seattle (only three years taking over a horrible Seattle team) and Carrol in New England (who wasn’t terrible and was only given two years)…I think the moral in regards to college coaches in the NFL is unless it’s a huge, immediate turnaround the coach is likely not going to stick around very long. Which is unfair, but the history of college coaches in the NFL seem to show a lot of coaches who were only allowed the opportunity to coach for a few years. NFL owners are the pickiest, most irrational people…and I don’t think we can claim that all college coaches are failures in the NFL.
Besides…Carrol has essentially been coaching an NFL team in LA.
