As always, Flock Talk mixes some commentary as we take a look at three more familiar faces who have been mentioned in the defensive coordinator coaching search.

Flock Talk: Familiar Faces

His resume is wonderful. Unless John Jacek already has a deal in place with another school, and Tennessee's inability to match that offer led to his termination, Jacek would be a helluva hire. It'd shock the Pac-12 world.

Crawford to announce Friday

Here is my exclusive one-on-one (watch on your phone or computer!):

Crawford talks final pick with DSA

this sucks

Here is my interview with Vai from the AA Bowl. Audio works with computers and on phones when using headphones.

Malepeai talks AA Bowl and Ducks

It is hard for me to feel like df4l is a true Oregon Duck fan. He comments with such disdain and venom for the program that he says is for life. Df4l, did you get an Oregon tattoo and feel like your stuck with our team? There has to be a reason for you hanging on as a fan other than that you really love your Ducks. Find another team to make continual snarky, smartassy comments about. Geesh!


I was gonna ignore this, but after thinking about it "chose" not too...
Because it strikes a cord that really drives who I am at the core of my well being.
Even though I agree that DF4L is a "negative" poster...and it certainly gets old at times, do we really have the "right" on this site to continuously bash him "personally" for his "glass half empty" comments? Perhaps, I have a different perspective since I have a brother very similar in nature. I actually find many of his one liner or sometimes 2-3 liners...funny, entertaining, amusing, and factual, if not at least "on point". Now are they usually or even always with a negative glass half empty nature...YEP! But, isn't that what you expect? Just because he's different and not what we "like"...doesn't he have the "right" to post his thoughts? To express his feelings? Or do we all need to conform to the "good ole boy" network of posters who so often find the "need" to tell us what to do on here?
I actually have lots of "dislikers" (notice I didn't use haters) on here, lots of people who say they have me on (permanent block) but continue to respond to me(lol) and to me it's perfectly fine, this is or should be, a forum for everyone's point of view...whether we like it or them at all!
I've actually been ridiculed many many times on here for years for multiple things that many others do...like use of CAPITAL letters, the excess use of emoticons, thread jacking, spelling, language faux pas, being snarky, etc etc etc...
Which are all true, but often absolutely ridiculous, and then because I don't respond to them in the fashion many approve of (I'm working on this), the personal attacks & name calling come out & the "crap fest" begins...
JMO, the "personal attacks" and "name calling" is not only ridiculous but childish and can really ruin what I find as a very knowledgeable, diverse, and entertaining DUCK football forum.
So, not only am I personally going to try to be a better poster this year...I'm asking others to join me in being more tolerant of others, perhaps even find a little humor in DF4L's personality as well as others. If we try to keep the comments on posts to the actual posts and NOT THE PERSON behind the post...perhaps we can do, what we are asking the coaches to do...IMPROVE!

just saw it

Rumor going around reddit, which is actually pretty keen to inside sources.

If this is true then this program is lost under Mark Helfrich.

Thanks for all your research and also for bringing to light some names I certainly had not thought of. Appreciate all your hard work on this.

If only we could be flies on the wall in Helf's office at the HDC .

Oregon commit Eric Briscoe Jr. tells me the demotion of Don Pellum has no effect on his recruitment.

"Nothing changes," Briscoe said. "I'm 100 percent."

story just broke- he is leaving UCLA to take OC job at Texas A &M. Interesting

calling any and all who have coached on the offensive side:

Assistant Football Coach

Just caught up with four-star cornerback Jared Mayden at the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl and he tells me he's set to take an official visit to Florida State the weekend of Jan. 15.

Mayden says he's still committed to Oregon and just lining up some options, but it's certainly something to keep an eye on heading into National Signing Day.

A visit to LSU is also possible, he said. He visited Georgia and Michigan during the season before re-affirming his pledge to the Ducks in early October.

There is several clues about who's stepping up there game here....are the DUCKS going to fly or flop with their hire?

Clancy Pendergast---USC??
Kirby Smart---Georgia
Jeremy Pruitt---Alabama
Don Brown---Michigan
Dave Aranda---LSU
Todd Orlando---Houston
Manny Diaz---Miami
Alex Grinch---Washington State
Kevin Clune---Oregon State


****Will add more high quality DC's that have moved in the last year or this year to improve teams...feel free to add to the list!

**Here is a list of VERY good DC's that may be available under the right circumstances:

Nick Holt---WKU
Mike Phair---Illinois
Randy Shannon--Florida
Tyson Summers---Colorado State
Todd Grantham---Louisville
Bud Foster---VA Tech
Lorenzo Ward---South Carolina(former)

Posters on eDuck and 247 are saying Brady Hoke is currently interviewing for the job, what is everyones thoughts on this?

I say this one is a head scratcher as he has zero defensive coaching experience.

I caught up with Oregon's next RB for an exclusive one-on-one. He had an in-home visit from USC so had to find out if he was still solid.

Malepaei from the Army All-American game

Canzano article on Oregon Live reports Anderson has hired Kevin Clune as DC and Corey Hall as new LB coach.

Clune was a former assistant to Anderson at Utah and Utah St.

The article is a good read that speaks to the 3-4 the Beavs ran and what was wrong with it (lack of talent).

http://www.oregonlive.com/sports/or...regon_state_gets_defe.html#incart_river_index

Please no Canzano bashing, since it ruins the info only purpose of the thread and highjacks into the usual bleating.

Defense...Defo, Bald and Coleman?

Offense...VA, Addison, Johnstone? Any others...too many? Is Marshall ok to go? I'd be shocked if he don't get an invite, if he's healthy.

Here is my one-on-one with the Centennial WR who will be announcing on Saturday.

McKinley down to three, set to announce

Good Luck Bralon!

Is that something we can argue about now, lol? Like a freekin' Greek Tragedy how it played out for him this year, but the Dude is out Hero. As great a guy as Marcus! IF not different in personality, similar in character and as fun to watch. A winner!
