Nigel Burton ?@CoachNBurton 40m
BREAKING: Heard from source w/ ties to UO ath dept, decision on new head football coach HAS been made & rumored to be current non-Power5 HC.

If so, our fan base will look like LSU's after Orgeron was picked.

ETA: a lot of chatter that it's Chip and some are saying non-power 5 HC fits the bill.

Taggart >> Oregeron

No reason to feel bad about it. I think Willie will recruit and keep that high flying offense in tact

I am going to give him a fair chance. I like the idea of a young, charismatic African American that's rebuilt two schools.

Great coach and can recruit. Might need some time to restock talent on Oregon. Washington on the comeup can make that hard.

No. And my title said it "seems" Fleck is a wrap. Admittedly, this has been a very odd coaching search.

I like the hire.

In fact, wanna trade? We can even throw Alleva into the deal.

Sorry I wasn't meaning that sarcastically. Just wondering how confident you are in that source. As we saw, you may hear lots of things before it's all settled

God damn it. I wanted Taggart for when O inevitably destroys the program and it needs to be rebuilt.

Burton is a former HC at Portland State that works for a local TV affiliate that covers the Ducks. He's as good as anyone.

Gotcha. Well I think you'll get nothing but positive feedback about the hire. I'm surprised with the choice, but he seems to be a really good coach

I added the source to my OP. Nigel was OC at Nevada too. I am not sure if he was fed a smokescreen or not.

If it were Taggart, I don't know why you don't announce tonight.

If true, I think this is a great hire. Of course time will tell, but I like it.
