very interesting concept indeed.

Is Collier fit to run a mecca college athletic program such as Oregon’s? Maybe. Maybe not.

Mecca…heh. Perfect example of why we don’t like you guys (Ducks in general, this community is an exception to that rule).

Anyhow, that could be a good setup. I think the AD position is kind of overrated at UO right now. You guys have a big time donor, who’ll pretty much step up with anything to make sure his school has what they need. I also tend to be of the school that thinks small school AD’s have a much harder job, and therefore would be better than the Belloti’s of the world.

Stevens is gonna be a good coach no matter where he goes. He is one of the guys I don’t want you to come away with. Solid fundamentals, good defense and discipline is the recepie for success anywhere. Plus being at a major program is going to afford him a much better shot at recruiting to his strengths and landing better athletes to do it with.
