We are no longer "Youngry", we are the Tampa Bay "Yucks"
Hayneswurf is on our roster, lol no coach in their right mind wants to go to a 4-12, 10 straight loss team, that has had more incidents with the law in the past year then victories.

Sure they do.
That’s how they get a coaching position. Not every coach has the luxury to take over the reigning champs.
... not many do
Teams generally don’t replace coaches that are successful. Usually plenty of suck.

Why are people saying we're embarrassed about Kelly changing his mind?
The guy had a change of heart, it happens. I don’t think it was because of our team, our area, or our fans. The guy is in a very good situation where he is, very tough to walk away from. We just have to pick up where we left off and find the next best guy.

I do think it is a little embarrasing...
to be left with your cheese hanging out in the wind. Also with a fistfull of money.
Ugh…

Well if your cheese isn't big enough, then sure. But I don't think we have that problem here.

I think it is embarrassing
He either played the bucs to get more money from oregon or doesn’t want to truly leave. Its just disappointing because nobody even knew we interviewed this guy so when reports came out that its almost a done deal and then he says “just kidding” it hurt a lot of fans, not me though

I doubt it.
He wouldn’t have gone that far into negotiations just to get more money. Simply interviewing with multiple teams would have been enough to do that, if I’m not mistaken.
He interviewed, considered, changed his mind, then bowed out. It’s not that big of a deal in my opinion. It is disappointing and leaves the fan base wondering “what next?”, but I don’t find it embarrassing. If he signed then changed his mind weeks later, then i would agree.
I don't think he played anybody or said just kidding to anybody.
Just second guessed himself.

I imagine
that he didn’t like leaving Oregon hanging without advance warning. Especially when signing day is coming.
Disagree that this is a very unattractive job
this position comes with very low expectations, and whoever gets the job is taking over for Raheem who was incredibly inept at being a head coach.
The team has also shown the talent & ability to win games, any coach who could come in and turn the ship around would get a tremendous amount of praise. There are also a great deal of young players on the team who he could seemingly impose his philosophy on.
Losing out to Kelly shouldn’t be viewed as a black eye. It’s not like he turned us down to coach a different college or NFL team; he chose to stay at a position where he’s making a great deal of money and has had a great deal of success. It was pretty shocking to hear he was even considering leaving.
So much for the "cheap owners" talk.
Kelly did accept the job, only to back out.
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
Chip Kelly would've been awesome
No hard feelings though, I’m sure he’s more than comfortable at SpeedU. Glazers get a B+ just for effort.

Well they tried to hire the guy I wanted (I believe Sander wanted him too).
I like Chris Pederson too from BSU, but my hopes aren’t high on that happening.

He has a great thing going on out there...
at Boise St. and the allure of the pro game is not what it once was.

He was said to take over for Chip Kelly at Oregon, even after he just got a new deal from BSU.
I just want to say Blue Mountain State, love that show.
