I have a higher opinion of him than Avalos. He’s not elite but they’ll likely be better under Deruyter.

TD is a good DC…ok HC.

Their defense is going to suck next season no matter who they hired. Mario had to really go down his list. Nobody wanted the job. He might be a better DC than Avalos but the type of players Oregon recruits need a younger, more energetic guy to motivate them. This guy is a limp dick, no-nonsense Bob Gregory kind of guy. Not a good cultural fit.

Highly rated. Excellent hire.

Solid hire, definitely an upgrade in regards to X’s and O’s. One less quality option for lake to look at, unfortunately. Rumors lake was interested.

Very good DC. Would have been a really good hire for UW but we desperately need an X and O guy who can also recruit.
No idea who that would be but if they find him it won’t be cheap.

Your response is as predictable and ridiculous as ever. They had a great defense in 2019, have batter talent in 2021 than they did in 2019, and have a proven DC to command it. Oregon’s defense will be good.

I think Oregon’s ceiling next year on defense is “average”. On a per play basis (EPA/play) last year they were objectively bad. According to this dashboard (http://cfb-graphs.com/leaderboard20.html) they ranked 72nd on defense. They lose a lot of guys and while they have young talent, its unproven and will be acclimating to a new DC.
