A billion to not a billion and then some sledgehammer was involved. What does that have to do with Hoke?Wasn't that the score the last time Oregon played Michigan?

And Harbaugh took Hokes 5-7 team and went 10-3. Harbaugh also won as many Big 10 games (6) in 1 season as Hoke did in his last 2 combined.
Seems like an upgrade.

Not to mention our defense went from OK under Hoke to elite in 1 year with pretty much the same guys.

the guy was a head coach at multiple places and was mostly in charge of the defense. He has a defensive mind
hiring a HEAD COACH as an assistant. That's better than hiring another coordinator.
In all seriousness, Hoke may very well turn out to be a great DC. However, we don't know that for sure because he's never been one. So there's nothing to judge by.
It's like this. Norm Chow has been a great OC, but was an utter failure as a head coach. If someone hires him to be their OC, they can be confident that they are getting a pretty good OC because there is history to back it up.
Hoke has no history as a DC. So, while he may very well end up being a great DC, he also may also have Ducks fans wanting Pellum back as DC. We won't know until the season starts.

the greatest form of flattery is jealousy and fear.

Maybe one day Oregon will be good enough to experience said flattery. Gonna have to stop the downward slide first though.

after Harbaughs recent actions this recruiting cycle, I would be highly concerned as a Michigan fan.Is this statement correct...
Hoke > Harbaugh?

Won't really need to. I am sure the NCAA will send their message first.

Oregon finished 116 in total defense and still was 9-4 beat Stanford and USC down the stretch and nearly beat Michigan State on the road early in the season. They dont need to be #1 in defense just better than they were.

exactly, you give us just a top 100 defense and we are probably in the CFP.

If Oregon can even just split the difference of the last couple years under Pellum and where they were under Aliotti Oregon will be just fine. prior to Pellum oregon was 37th, 44th, 67th, 34th, 35th

Hoke finally has that other bookend.
Started his D1 coaching career with my Broncos and now he has Nikes Ducks. And all without a set. Good job Brady.

Wait!! What?!? I thought you said that Oregon didn't make the cfp because Vernon "Magic Man" Adams Jr. broke his pinkie finger? Now you're saying it's because of the defense?
You really need to pick an excuse and stick with it.
