What will he ever do without that amazing Norman, OK Mexican cuisine.

Exactly what I was going to say. My daughter has not found good Mexican food since she left California in every place she has lived since marriage, HI, NC, TX and so on. She grew up on the central coast with a large Hispanic community, then San Diego in Chula Vista which is primarily Hispanic. Good Mexican food is never hard to find.

That Norman restaurant is something I would not call authentic, unless it's Tex Mex based.

Pretty sure he will get over it once he has Panchos near his house in Manhattan Beach.

Where did that come from? Interesting…

I'd take him over Jedd Lasso in a heartbeat.

Trying to keep him away from Miami, I am not sure how we can compete when people of Cristobal's pedigree are allegedly getting $10M+ a year.

I have no doubt Cristobal's agent leaked the Miami story. How many schools get played this way, all of them?

Probably, but Miami is very much interested in bringing Cristobal back home. I would say his agent probably leaked this to up Miami's offer.

Wait, are you saying Miami is looking for a coach before they have canned the current guy?

Yep

The Cristobal to Miami talk is getting pretty heated.

Miami finally fired Manny Diaz after letting him twist in the wind all weekend like total assholes.

Cristobal meeting with his players telling them he is Miami bound.

Can’t believe how the I treated Manny Diaz. Not sure what college sports has become but it certainly has crumbled in the wake of all the money

Oregon sports - Basketball team is crumbling now their FB coach is bolting to Miami.

Good to see that Uncle Phil's checkbook isn't solving all of their problems.

The joke is on everybody involved in this mess except for Cristobal who will be overpaid $8M to be the Hurricanes next mediocre coach.

I don't feel sorry for Oregon who speculated replacement candidate is Chip Kelly, whom I'm sure will return to Eugene in a heartbeat. He isn't the same guy from a decade ago. Players will leave, the recruiting talent will drop, the schemes he brings aren't fresh like they were a decade ago.

CK kept UCLA mostly tame, hopefully he goes and tames Oregon.

And I won't feel sorry for Miami when they realize they are dumping $8M/yr on a coach whose limit is 9 wins. Don't give me the crap that he'll recruit well to Miami. EVERYBODY recruits well to Miami - Randy Shannon, Al Golden, Manny Diaz, Will Smith. Miami's obvious lacking factor has been development of talent and follow-thru Xs & Os coaching, which Cristobal hasn't proven.

I hope that happens. Hurts both UCLA and Oregon.

Does getting the band back together ever work?

Let's go!

You’re that confident in his replacement, huh? Can’t wait to see how this works out.

No idea. But we are a team that has hired Rock Neu and Karl Dorrell and Kelly is the worst coach, by record, in UCLA history. (FYI - I'm not as down on Kelly that most are)

If we hire Gary Anderson as replacement, then it sucks. I want to buy the hype that our AD has.

Let me just say…

As an Arizona fan…

……………………………… it can always get worse.

Interesting hire. He was a GA as recently as 2015

I guess you'll be keeping Chip after all

If Kansas didn't want Lanning why would Oregon?

For now. A few places are saying that the hire isnt true.

Oregon has shown the have the infrastructure for any coach to succeed. Outside Beliotti, I would argue they have not had a good coach this century.

Everything seems in limbo. UCLA can still fire Chip Kelly on January 16th, who no buyout. Which is odd timing. Fire him the day before and it's 9 million dollars.

Why would they pick someone Kansas rejected? I don't understand that.

But then again, it's Kansas being Kansas, like Arizona is Arizona.

Some teams do recognize the importance of special teams. UA not one of them.

For reference, we had an all Pac 12 Punter and ST player (Berryhill) and an honorable mention at kicker in Haversik who split time with another kicker who went 12-12 on FG's and 12-12 on XP's. Special teams were not really an issue this year like years past.
