UO’s Mike Bellotti to make announcement about leadership at Athletics Department
The rumor started earlier today that Mike Bellotti would be stepping down to take a job as a football analyst with ESPN, and it's picking up steam. Mike Bellotti will be making an announcement at 11:30am PST on the leadership within the athletic department.
The press conference will be streamed live at GoDucks.tv.

Maybe crazy letter to the editor writer wasn’t so crazy.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Would Ernie even be a good AD? With how details oriented his basketball teams have been, I’m going with a big time no.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I don’t think so either.
But I have no CLUE who SHOULD be AD…
Hire… MARK FEW FOR AD!

Don’t worry I am putting together a 5000 word post on who should be the next AD right now.
You can call me, Quinney Lemons

Does this make Canzano's claim
That MB will succeed Chip even stupider? Will this cause him any shame at all?
Wow, real leadership void
we’re looking for a basketball coach AND an AD?

Don’t you kinda need someone to be an AD in order to hire a Basketball coach?

I assume Bellotti will stay for a few more months until we find a suitable replacement.

Yeah I read the article
it sounds like he has an actual source that isn’t Canzano
Say what you mean, and say it mean. - Clint Ruin
Canzano is deleting comments again
After I pointed out more of his astute speculation
-Andre Miller is a bad fit
-Masoli has a torn ACL
-The Beavers need Moevao
-The Ducks wont win 6 games
-The Blazers should go after Lebron (really? wow)

Ha found it fuckface Canzano!
You said nothing about him becoming an ESPN analyst, so yeah its still pathetic speculation.
When is Pritchard getting fired?
I guess Andre was still a mistake.
Lebron is not coming to Portland
Your secret source was wrong about the ACL of Masoli
The Beavers really didnt need Moevao
Oregon clearly wasnt going to win 6 games
Just keep speculating until something sticks, right? BTW you forgot to mention you covered Tark and Bob Knight.

by Bill Musgrave on Mar 19, 2010 10:44 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah in the post he is trying to make it look like he called this...
So here is a recap of what happened…
Canzano wakes up…
Parents call him and tell him they STILL don’t believe in him…
After coffee and Vodka… he looks for anybody’s work he can copy…
Finds Duck Sporting News post from last night that says this could happen
Eyes get all bugged out making him look more bald…
Calls parents to tell them… they hang up…
Figures out that by all of his past columns he can’t call that he said ESPN analyst but he can speculate that he is stepping down and that he actually has connections that told him this earlier (read other people’s journalism)…
Posts to blog before media release about press conference…
Hastily deletes all ADQ comments calling his bull shit…
Looks in the mirror… cries…
calls it a day…
by Duckity_Duck on Mar 19, 2010 11:06 AM PDT reply actions 4 recs
Brilliant
But he still has to talk about on his show for a good three hours.
I also posted the DSA twitter link on Canzano’s blog and asked him if that was his source, considering its was 3 hours older than his blog. Yeah he deleted that.
Stop being an asshat Canzano. If you want to endless speculate, then we should be able to bring your past predictions. Best one he ever had was when he said the Magic were stupid for picking Dwight Horward over Okafor and that the Blazers should go get Okafor as their franchise player.

I don’t really think either of those things is surprising. We knew Kent was gone, and Bellotti leaving has been rumored for quite some time.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Being surprising is not the issue...
losing fixtures of the house that Bellotti/Kent/Moos built is… and all at once…

I can agree with him though that the end of a few eras at once in a rough patch for the program blows.

I really wish people would stop saying that...
How many of the Ducks are in jail? I thought so.

May we hand you your taints on a silver platter...
Well at least we'll get a little West coast perspective in there

Asshat Canzano changed his blog
to say his sources indicated that Bellotti was going to ESPN. Douch (fuck) bag

don't care a ton
but do you have proof of that?
Nah I didnt take a screen shot.
But a couple of the comments below say “ESPN, not coaching” which wouldnt be necessary if the original post said anything about ESPN

So why the change now?
Did this offseason just make him realize he doesn’t actually want to do this job? Or did a really good ESPN offer come along at the right time?

A good gig for Mike B.
The guy loves college football. He’s got a chance to keep living the dream on a national level without the rigors of being a head coach. I can’t fault him. Good luck Mike. We should probably erect a statue in your honor.
"...the noise is one aspect, but you can feel the intensity of their crowd." - Pete Carroll on Oregon's Autzen Stadium.
He deserves a statue here. I’m happy to see him get this opportunity, I think he’ll be happy and he’ll be very good at it. You can’t fault a guy for moving on when such a rare job opens up for him. I’ll really enjoy seeing him on TV, I wonder if he’ll ever get to call a Ducks game.

I wish he could have waited until he resolved our BB situation
Who cares about the Auburn Spring Game?
He made the point that it would be better for him not to make a decision on the BB coach than to hire somebody and GTFO, which I agree with.

I will miss you Mike B
But it will be fun to watch you on ESPN, give us some love
I Don't Yell O I SCREAM!
Unless you have ESPNU on and are watching Akron vs Miami (OH)...
… you probably won’t be seeing Bellotti on ESPN.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
If that’s true, I hope it’s only temporary. I don’t think PK’s heart is in that job any more than Bellotti’s was. That and some have speculated that Few won’t work under his good friend (though that may be of no consequence if Few isn’t interested in coaching at UO).
"...the noise is one aspect, but you can feel the intensity of their crowd." - Pete Carroll on Oregon's Autzen Stadium.
makes sense…especially as a “interim” guy even its for another couple years. plus i love the angle of how its shady to have a booster run you athletic dept. shouldn’t that be run by a CEO-like person who knows The Situation and how to get things done? (nodding my head yes)…

Tak can coach whatever the fuck he wants to.
I happen to believe he would be an ideal advertising and/or marketing head, but Tak gets $4M a year and does whatever the fuck he wants to do, stat.
Shit, he can drink mai tais, get paid to make snide comments re: Axemen, whatever. Take gets $4M, posts “the map” once a month or so, and the rest of us shut the hell up.
