I’ve been away for a few days, and I come home to hear DS is the leading candidate to be the new coach?
This sounds a lot like the CR hire…a smooth talker who can (probably) recruit, but not proven as a coach or a guy who can run a program.
I mean, it is intriguing (so was CR), but the Beavs need a proven coach.
I’d rather see David Grace, even with his CR associations, over DS. This just sounds too familiar.

Go Beavs!
Being told it is 99% done.
The site is set to expire in about a month. Hosting fees are up big this year (no, there is no inflation, Mrs. Chairman!). My host says I might be able to sign a multi-year deal that lowers the rate and get a year added to the contract for every mediocre post I make.
Anyway, to make things fun this year, I decided this year to give back to donors, Bob DeCarolis style. So the highest donor will receive this beautiful Oregon State mug. That’s right, your own brand new Oregon State mug! If you’re lucky I will pack it in popcorn.
Click here to donate and keep AB alive! Share this link with friends and family! Put a Beaver on it!
Edit: I should add, if you send the donation as a gift to friends/family they don’t take a fee, so please do that!
Great day to be a Beaver! Bob D grows a sack and does what needed doing. See, who says we aren’t positive?
Now on to the hard part. Hiring the right replacement.
Names being thrown around. In order I find desirable and plausible.
Ben Howland
Randy Bennett
Saul Phillips
Seth Greenberg
Russel Turner
AC Green
Damon Stoudamire
Leon Rice
My instincts say it will be Ben Howland. Reason being Bob D would only fire CR if he knew he could make it up in attendance figures, and of all the names being thrown around Howland (and maybe Randy Bennet) is the only one who would fill the seats. CR and cash for Howland would be a good trade on paper, so I’m all for it if that’s where this is headed. OSU needs a legit coach…a Dennis Erickson type who can turn the program around fast. Howland feels like that guy. Right place, time, and fit, so I think that’s the hire. Well see within a week or so.
Thanks for the practice facility, CR, and good luck scamming Joe Sixpack out of his 401k at your next job.
