WE ARE NUMBER 1 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know the buck stops at Riley, but do you feel he's at fault entirely? Stay with me here, I agree that changes need to be made, however I don't know if they need to be made at the HC level. I would sh#t can the DC and OC. I would bring in Scott Frost and make him the highest paid OC out there and asst. HC. Then let Riley and Frost know that it's a 3-4 yr window and Frost then takes over the HC job. DC job needs to be looked at very close and get someone that can COACH UP their players.

 

In Riley's defense he came into an ugly situation, he doesn't have any of his type of players on the team, and half if not more of the players were "Bo Guys" which means they still had sympathy towards Bo and it was going to have to be one hell of a sale to get those players to buy into the new coach as well as the new system.. Give it 2 more years and those old school " Bo Guys" will be gone and Riley will have his type of guys in there, that also will be Frost guys when Frost takes over. And then make me the AD to get this all done.

 

Bo as a first year coach took a demoralized team and turned them around right away. There were many opportunities to turn that proverbial corner, but never quite pulled it off. So close...but it unfortunately didn't happen. The expectation that we had this year was to avoid blowout losses and have a respectable season. The Purdue loss WAS a blowout as we were down 42-16 at one point. This season so far has gone far worse than any of the doomsday predictions even the most pessimistic fans had. I'm not sold on Frost being a HC yet.

I'm not saying Frost for HC yet.. I'm saying bring him in as OC and let Riley groom him for the job for the next 3-4 years. I don't think the staff Riley brought in with him are the best at coaching up talent. And who knows maybe neither is Frost. I'm just saying we give Riley time, but I don't know if we can give his coordinators the same luxury.

We might be able to pick up Frost cheap, as Oregon is getting tired of his too cute, pass-happy, refuse-to-run-the-ball antics.

 

Yep. They only have the #10 scoring offense, #12 total offense and #6 rushing offense in the country.

 

He's obviously doing a terrible job.

Ya that frost is a real Knuckle head! #1 or bust! How did that work out for us with F.S. again?

TEMPE, Ariz. -- On Thursday, after Oregon's 61-55 triple-overtime victory over Arizona State, the Ducks players ran up the tunnel at Sun Devil Stadium screaming, "We out!"

But we all know better.

Not just out -- bailed out.

Namely, Ducks offensive coordinator Scott Frost, who demonstrated he can successfully draw up plays featuring 11 players, but can't figure out who his best two are.

Also, the UO defense, which couldn't tackle a lick.

Oregon won the game. The Ducks are 5-3. Vernon Adams deserves all the credit he can carry. I suppose you cling to things such as that and get on the plane after a three-overtime victory. But without Adams scrambling around, ducking under defenders, spinning out of peril, heaving up desperation passes, Frost is a bum today and the defense probably deserves to walk home.

Reverse pass in a critical short-yardage situation? Bralon Addison in the wildcat formation on that cute triple-overtime two-point conversion attempt? Running back Royce Freeman ignored for long stretches?

Two ASU running backs with more than 100 rushing yards? A total of 742 yards in offense for the Sun Devils? Arizona State players running wild down field all night?

I know. I know. The game was a roller derby. There were weird officiating calls and missed field goals, too. The Ducks showed up with a series of giant white curtains on the sideline, presumably obsessing over the possibility of ASU's coaching staff stealing their signals. This game was paranoia wrapped in panic surrounded by sloppiness all over. But in the end, what was most puzzling on Thursday was Frost's play-calling performance and the lack of tackling by the Ducks defense. These things can't continue if Oregon is serious about having a respectable finish to an already disappointing season.

Frost is a smart guy. He knows football. But he looked a lot like a coach who was trying to disprove that on Thursday. And the defense, for all its youth, got a shake-and-bake clinic led, in part, by ASU quarterback Mike Bercovici (58 rushing yards).

All that, bailed out in the end.

"We had him dead to rights in backfield," ASU coach Todd Graham said of the Ducks quarterback. "He scrambles around, bounces off of us, throws up a prayer."

This week, Frost bristled at the pointed criticism the Ducks have taken this season. They've lost edge. They've failed to execute. They showed up to the stadium with three losses, after all. You forgive him, sort of, because you realize the criticism really didn't come when the Ducks were winning 10-plus games over the last seven seasons.

The coaching staff got a wide berth. One that narrows considerably when you're tripping all over, struggling to defend, unable to hide deficiencies, losing games.

This week, Frost said, "We talk to the kids all the time about not listening to the detractors, not listening to the critics. Most people that are criticizing them couldn't draw up 11 guys on a football field, where they're supposed to line up. So the people that think they know things don't."

Stop.

Right.

There.

Fans and media are going to criticize the coaching staff when the results aren't there. They're going to nitpick and question and wonder aloud. The games are played in public, where we can all see them. When a football coach hears an increase in criticism he ought to comfort himself with the long lines of zeroes on his paycheck.

That's how the job works, bub.

Of course, there was former Ducks coach Rich Brooks on Twitter at halftime with, "You have to be kidding that Freeman got the ball for the 5th time on the last carry of the half." Also, there was a Tweet from former Ducks running back LaMichael James, who added, "Give the ball to 21."

That No. 21 -- Freeman -- finished with only 15 carries in a triple-overtime game. That he had 112 yards and two touchdowns only amplifies the absurdity of the play calling on a critical short yardage situation near the end of regulation or with Addison with the game in his hands.

"We went into that game with more tricks, gadgets, wrinkles than we've had in a long time," said Frost, "with the understanding we might need them and hoping we wouldn't run out of them -- and we still ran out of them."

Frost was fortunate.

Fortunate to win a game in which his offense converted 3 of 14 third-down attempts. Fortunate that ASU's special teams were a dumpster fire on top of a train wreck. Fortunate most of all that Adams was there to smooth out some indefensible play calling.

I loved that Oregon didn't quit. I appreciate that the defense made a play when it needed to make a play. And there's nothing more exciting than Adams running for his life with the game hanging in the balance.

But it felt on Thursday like the Ducks were in their own way, too. Stanford won't be as forgiving. Nor will USC. Probably not Cal, either.

I write this knowing that it may sound harsh. But Oregon is fighting enough this season without having to overcome itself.

Oregon had over 500 yards of total offense and scored 61 points none of which was scored by the Ducks defense. Oregon's defense gave up 742 yards of offense and 55 points to ASU.

 

Someone needs to tell that bald dude that you don't try calling out the offensive coordinators play calling when you just put 61 points on the board and rolled said team for over 500 yards.

 

No wonder there is a website dedicated to just how big of a moron the guy is...

Looks like there's a FB page not exactly celebrating him either...
