Oregon's right behind and has 2 starting quarterbacks in the NFL. We sure could have used one this season.

24 Oregon Ducks to begin the season on NFL rosters

Fans of the Oregon Ducks can look forward to seeing two dozen former players take the field for various NFL teams ahead of the 2021 season.

As a Lions fan, we are still mad that you guys sent us Joey Harrington. He was god-awful in the NFL. He was a good college QB though. We love Sewell, dude is a beast and he’s nasty. Perfect O-lineman.

edit:
Sewell’s brothers are good football players too. Huge group of kids.

Miami might put out the most NFL players, but the University of Florida puts out the most felons

One would think as the number 5 team in the country…your QB wouldn’t throw into triple coverage

Baylor pulled off the upset of Oklahoma State. Really exciting finish, OSU came close to coming back at the end.

SEC championship next, pulling for the Bulldogs to take the Tide behind the woodshed and whip their ass raw in this one.

that was the first time i saw baylor play. that was a good game for sure

Alabama looked like a different team today against Georgia than last week against Auburn.
So far, Oregon lost, OK State, Georgia lost, but Cincinnati won. Playoff selection is gonna be interesting. Maybe, Just maybe Kelly left ND too soon.

Won’t comment on one game out of superstition.

I would not want to be Cincinnati facing Saban with three weeks to prepare in the other game. Tide is going to roll all over the Bearcats, that game will be a slaughter I predict.

this can't be good for my Tigers. 1st Venables and now Dabo??? we're screwed if this happens.

Well Miami poached Cristobal from Oregon. Here's what it cost them:

$8 million to buy out Manny Diaz
$9 million to buy out Mario Cristobal at Oregon
$8 million for Cristobal’s salary

$25 million total Miami has to pay. I think that's ridiculous. That's not including the $8 million a year for however long his contract is for plus bonuses.

How did it get to the point where a mediocre coach like Cristobal gets paid $22,000 a day? It's out of control. 2 days of his pay pays for a year of college for a student at most major universities. Seems like a better use of that money would be to educate students not make the football coach rich.
I'm about done with this craziness. I can find better things to do than watch a bunch of dudes run up and down a field of grass with a ball.

mario has a good season or 2 and he gets hired as the Jax head coach once they get rid of Urban Myers.

but back to his leaving, i don't see that as a lateral move. even though the ACC isn't great, i think top to bottom it has better teams than pac12. i did hear on sports radio that his mom lives in miami??

It's hard to keep a group together if they win a bunch. Just too much money to turn down.

i think the only reason venables stayed as long as he did is that Dabo paid him very well. i "think" he was the highest paid DC in the country.

Sounds like a broken record. Same crap he said when he came to Oregon. Screw Cristobal and all the other job hopping assholes that agree to a contract and then split for another job.

I wonder if the Miami crowd watched either one of the Oregon/Utah games. If they did they shouldn't be too wowed.

‘Fired up’ Mario Cristobal wows Miami crowd, brings hope for better times — and more titles

"I am more driven and motivated than ever. I can’t wait to get to work!” Cristobal says at his introductory news conference.

Screw you Cristobal. I hope he fails as miserably as Taggart did. He'll never take Miami to a Title. These jerks talk about teamwork and loyalty yet they're the first to toss all that stuff in the trash.

Dude, I really feel for you. I’m not a Michigan State fan but still thought it was horrible how Saban bailed on them for LSU. I dislike him to this day as he continues to win at Alabama over that move.

Honestly, Oregon is the better program right now and has been for a while. This has to potential for Cristobal to be on the street in a few years if he doesn’t turn Miami around. Their boosters are hugely influential and impatient. It’s a lot like USC - private school with big time private money for football.

He is getting paid a ridiculous amount and has a recruiting advantage due to Florida location now, but that’s about it. This may end badly for him.

I don't care if he leaves. Just finish your contract. These jerks get in front of their teams giving pep talks about loyalty, integrity, and teamwork. In the end they possess none of those qualities themselves.

It's not that he chose to take another job. It's that he lacked the integrity to honor his contract. He expects it from the players but lacks it himself.

Oregon will be just fine. We'll get a new coach and move on. There are plenty of qualified and better options available. Oregon has Phil Knight and all his money, great facilities, great fans that fill the stadium, etc... It's not going to be hard for Oregon to poach someone from another team. Or maybe just keep the interim coach and give him a year to see how he does.

I think Bill O'Brien the Offensive Coordinator at Alabama is a prime candidate and is currently only making $1.1 million.

"Bill O’Brien, offensive coordinator at Alabama
O’Brien oversees a Crimson Tide offense that ranks fourth in the nation in scoring, has the Heisman Trophy favorite at quarterback in Bryce Young and one of the best receivers in the country in Jameson Williams, despite featuring a comparatively down offensive line.

O’Brien, 52, went 15-9 at Penn State in 2012-13 and then 53-48 over six-plus seasons in the NFL with the Houston Texans. He lacks regional ties, but O’Brien is going to be a head coaching candidate somewhere soon and his offensive prowess isn’t in question.

He’s earning $1.1 million in the first of a two-year contract. O’Brien’s buyout is waived if he becomes a head coach."

"Autzen Stadium is an outdoor football stadium in the northwest United States, in Eugene, Oregon. Located north of the University of Oregon campus, it is the home field of the Oregon Ducks of the Pac-12 Conference. Opened 54 years ago in 1967, the stadium has undergone several expansions. The official seating capacity is presently 54,000, however, the actual attendance regularly exceeds that figure."
