Always happy for Tedford being at Fresno. No way Wilcox to Oregon. He's not that interested and they want a much bigger fish. That $C clip was so $C and so cringy bad that it only affirms all that is laughably horrible about that school. The cheerleaders in the front are right out of central casting, and yet the amateurish gig was pathetic.

This begs the hypothetical question as to who would be on our list if Wilcox jumped? Troy Taylor would have to be on the short list, but I don't even know if any of the guys on the Oregon list would even make it on ours given a variety of reasons, but mainly financial ones

Was $C in a Fleetwood Mac state of mind because of all the coaching Rumours or because the Landslide just brought them down last week?

I think the token Wilcox mention in the list represents many of the more saner views I've read or listened about. I would be very surprised, shocked even, if Oregon selected him. And similar to the Husky job represents a classic underpromise feature that taken to the next step - over delivery, would come along with the actual hire who no doubt would be a bigger, more accomplished name.

You would think Lane Kiffin to Eugene would have better odds....

Oregon fans are wayyyyy to entitled to be happy with anything less than a current major coach…that is to say, they appear to be a few weeks too late.

"BYU went undefeated in their five matchups with Pac-12 teams this season, including Pac-12 champion Oregon." You need a correction there, Avi. Oregon and BYU did not play each other this season.

Enjoyed the USC - Riley "rally" clip.

Please, please explain to me how Wilcox would be a sexy hire for Oregon. What.....just because he played at Oregon? Oregon fills that stadium for every game because the offense spreads it out and typically moves the ball around the field with lots of speed at every skill position. Wilcox is known for conservatism and sitting on a lead of any kind. Great defensive mind....doesn't know diddly about how to run a consistent and exciting offense. No, not a fit there. Maybe if the Wisconsin or Iowa head coaches move on.....

I somehow missed Norvell jumping to CSU. Is that even a step up. I'd argue no.

I feel like Wilcox to Oregon is the easy and lazy name to add to any Oregon vacancy list due to his connection to Oregon. If you take away his connection to Oregon and he was from Nevada, with no coaching history at Oregon and with his record at Cal, would he even be mentioned as a candidate? I doubt it. Therefore, I seriously doubt Oregon takes him as a HC.

Is all this movement a regular thing with college football coaches and coordinators, or is this year especially busy?
