Quack Fix: Kent rumors all but confirmed, replacement chatter heating up

Tonight, the Ducks will take on Wazzu for the second time in five days. Can they win another in honor of their (seemingly) outgoing coach? Here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:

  • After the R-G's Bob Clark reported yesterday that Ernie Kent had informed his players he will not be returning after this season, the Oregonian's John Hunt confirmed the report, as did ESPN.com. Kent could be coaching his last game as head coach of the Oregon Ducks tonight, when the Ducks take on Washington State in the Pac-10 Tournament opener.
  • And just as the "Fire Ernie Kent" exclamations are starting to die down, the chatter around who will replace Kent is heating up. It seems every Oregon-connected coach in the directory is showing up on someone's list. Everyone from former Blazers coach P.J. Carlesimo to former Blazer star Terry Porter to current Blazers assistant Monty Williams are being tossed around. Oh, and then, of course, there's Mike Dunleavy, who parted ways with the Los Angeles Clippers yesterday. Odd timing? Probably. But it does make you wonder.
  • ESPN.com's Ted Miller opens the mailbag and answers a reader's question about Oregon's defensive line, specifically incoming freshman Ricky Heimuli.
  • Oregon's Taylor Lilley was named to the Pac-10's all-conference team yesterday. The senior guard, who holds the Pac-10 single-season record for three-pointers made, was the only Duck mentioned on the postseason awards list.
  • We're all aware that EDSBS is getting a big kick out of Oregon's recent off-field issues. But apparently so is an anonymous (and mildly creative) Craigslist poster.

As always, leave any relevant links or comments below.

What they quoted him in the article sounds awful. And it’s hard to believe that, even taken out of context, it’s possible to salvage something like that. I do know that Torii does a lot of charitable work and is very involved in trying to bring baseball to inner cities. I have a feeling that he was talking about cultural differences rather than race differences.

He also has come out and said the comments were out of context.

Nike's Iron Fist?

All the talk of Nike having very high level of influence on the pending hire concerns me. A lot.

I mean, I get it. Matthew Knight Arena, millions of dollars, years of financial support, etc., etc. Ask yourself this, where is the accountability for Nike brass if they force Bellotti’s hand and the next coach is a bust? There is none. It will all fall on the AD.

That’s a precarious situation at best. Note to Mike: grow a pair and hire the best guy for the job.

I think it’s obvious that whoever comes to coach at Oregon will need to have a good relationship not only in the athletic department but also with Oregon’s donors, meaning Phil Knight. So it will obviously have an impact on the hiring process, as it would at any University.

But all the chatter about Nike hasn’t come from anyone inside the program, merely people saying, ohh, he’s a ‘Nike guy," whatever the hell that means. I mean, that will have an impact, but it shouldn’t be the major concern for the hiring process. At this point, I’m doubtful that Bellotti is using that as a main criteria. As a formal football coach, he knows how to work with donors, and will obviously be looking at that as a major component for the new hire, but the best thing you can do with donors is to win basketball games.

As far as accountability, let’s be honest, Phil Knight could effectively veto any decision, but that would generate a lot of bad will, and I doubt he’d want to do that. But if he pushes for a bad candidate, then the fan base would become even more disillusioned with the basketball team. So while Phil Knight has way more influence than you or me, he still has some restrictions.

This

As a formal football coach,

Let’s not forget that Mike hired a number of coaches as the football coach. This is not his first coaching hire. Now yes, there were some bad ones (Andy Ludwig), but there have been plenty of good, if not great ones in there too.

I have a lot of confidence that MB will take the necessary steps in the hiring process and that all this noise is just that, noise. Let the Canzano’s and Jaynes and Prehm’s of the world rush out there with their asinine presumptions and continue to look as foolish as they do when they write a normal article.

From what I heard, the former track coach and Knight didn’t get along at all, something with the old coach not really pushing for Oregon to be stellar in long distance running, which has been its specialty historically.

I’m not sure if it was just Knight that forced this to happen, or others in the Athletic Department. But getting Vin Lannana was definitely an improvement.

Shu, just add a few fluctuating variables (the median temperature in Alaska, the rate of shrinkage of the Hawaiian Islands and the number of touchdowns scored by Jeremiah Johnson in the 2008 Civil War, for example) and I believe that would generate multiple answers.

I’d like to see those results in a pivot table, sorted by relevance to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and/or Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.

The Nike influence is big because of the specific sport. Its a recruiting angle. Kevin Love went to Adidas camps – he never was going to go to Oregon (a Nike school). um…what sports clothing emblem happens to be on UCLA’s jersey? go check John Wall’s final 4-5 schools – all Nike. Worldwide Wes will help us pick a new coach. isnt he the one that guided Dunlap to Oregon? College basketball recruiting is all about who can get the best pros kids (if a university decides it wants to be in that game). Of course we want to be in that game. Right now, our bball team is left out of that game.

While I'm with you in that the pro ball regurgitations don't get me excited either...

Let’s not be totally closed-minded and just pick a shot-in-the-dark young coach for the sake of breaking new ground. Above all, I think Mike Bellotti knows what he’s doing here and will make the right decision.

It’s easy for Oregon fans to get behind a mid-major coach to scalp because in football we hit the jackpot with Chip Kelly. But that also doesn’t mean that we will get that lucky every time we pick a no-name.

It very much depends on what the charges will end up being… Here’s a comment from Moseley’s blog

I heard he is going to plead to lesser charge of only harassment. If this holds true, this is potentially good news for him in the sense that it is a lot less severe than assault and strangulation.

If he pleads guilty to the assault or strangulation charges, he’s gone for a year I’d imagine. But if the charges are greatly reduced, that opens up a whole new can of worms.

So if that’s the case for those guys and, for the sake of argument, LMJ pleads to harrassment charges only, does he wind up missing games? I suppose the circumstances between him and Beard are probably much different, so Kelly will take that into account.

I think that if LMJ pleads guilty for harassment, he’s not gonna miss much time, if any.

I think Kelly will do what he thinks is right regardless of the public outcry, which you know will happen if LMJ pleads down.

what would be the difference? Beard was blacked out drunk and LMJ wasn’t? not sure which is worse/better…

As far as I know, Beard’s accuser wasn’t a spurned (ex)girlfriend as seems to be the case in LMJ. There seemed to be a history there in LMJ’s case which would lead to different circumstances.

It’s possible that despite the same charge (harassment), one could be “worse” than the other and merit greater discipline. But that’s Kelly’s department.

By Canzano math though,

CK will get it wrong unless he :

a)suspends the entire team
b) gets Tim Tebow an extra year of eligibility and a transfer waiver
c) plays him 1-on-11, both ways, every game
d) reschedules 2010 to include the past ten mythical national championship teams

Thankfully for Chip, though, at least he’ll THINK he has it right, no matter what he does.

Which reminds me:

by HoodRiverDuck on Mar 10, 2010 2:30 PM PST up reply actions  

For sure. Kelly will get skewered either way.

Option A
Kelly: I’m suspending LMJ for 3 games
Canzano: Does that mean LMJ’s incident was more severe than Beard’s? Should Beard be suspended longer? Will LMJ really be deterred from harassing women when all he gets is a 3 game suspension? RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE

Option B
Kelly: Under the circumstances, LMJ will be suspended for spring ball and reinstated in the fall pending appropriate behavior.
Canzano: SPRING BALL?!?!? Why don’t you start recruiting directly from prison, Chip? You HAVE LOST CONTROL. YOU ARE A JOKE OF A COACH. MY PARENTS NEVER LOVED ME. [breaks down sobbing]

So, just by pointing out in public that you’re a Wazzu fan would put me in violation of this. That’s rough.

Geez if that’s what harrassment means, and this blog is public, we have a lot of people here who will be receiving harrassment charges very soon

Well Canzano, maybe your parents didn’t believe in you.

The problem is that John Canzano is not a reasonable person.
(iii) A reasonable person would believe that the threat was likely to be followed by action.

Nahh harassment is nothing really

doesnt even sound bad, but after all the bad press I really want the truth to come out…I just want to know what really happened so I can cheer for the guy….or not….

If he's taking a plea deal

Odds are the truth will never come out. Domestic situations are nasty and by avoiding the trial, the details will remain locked up, probably.

I’m assuming that you could, but LMJ has used his redshirt, as has Alonso.
