Tosh Lupoi uses "dictator" and "confrontational" to describe the vision for his Oregon defense

Tosh Lupoi doesn't want the Ducks secondary walking any kind of fine line.

DOUG SAMUELS         9 HOURS AGO

Dan Lanning filled out his Oregon staff with a handful of really impressive coaches, one of which was his defensive coordinator - Tosh Lupoi.

With stops at Cal, Washington, and Alabama, Lupoi established himself as one of college football's best recruiters before jumping to the NFL where he spent the past few seasons working with the Browns, Falcons and Jaguars.

The opportunity to step back into a defensive coordinator role at Oregon with Lanning brought Lupoi back to college football, and he shared a bit of his outlook on what the vision for the Ducks defense is.

"Confrontational" and "dictator" were two interesting words he chose to use to describe what he wants to build in Eugene.

When asked about his secondary "walking the fine line" between being aggressive in press and giving some space to speedy receivers, Tosh shared they're actually not interested in walking that fine line at all.

"We probably don't walk that fine line. We want to be extremely aggressive and confrontational."

"We want to play press coverage and operate out of man-match and quarters and Rip / Liz match system in cover three and then compliment that with some zone and do our best to mix up things and offer disguises and pressures out of those looks as well."

"We want to be really aggressive. That's the system that I come from and that I believe in, and coach Lanning as well and we really want to be the dictator at the end of the day. So we are going to constantly challenge our players to embrace that."

Somebody needs to do a wellness check on Walton.  This may have been to much for his conference of champions heart.

I think you might change your tune when you see the Bruin baseball team head to Piscataway for a thrilling 3-game weekend series against Rutgers in late March.  

Or maybe not.

Well one thing’s for sure, no more fucking bullshit 7pm or later kickoffs.  Those fucking sucked.  May be a few morning games, but I’m good with that.

Sucks that the last LA game I attend will be at stinking $C.  

See you in Tempe in November.

Absolutely. Never been a big NFL guy, but if CFB just becomes NFL lite, I'd rather just watch the NFL.

"'I have no concern about our schools,' Kliavkoff said on June 6. 'We had the opportunity when conference realignment was going on last summer to canvas our president and chancellors, and it is clear to me that everyone who’s in the Pac-12 is committed to the Pac-12.'"

Just made Larry Scott sound smart.

This super conference stuff does not seem to be all that fun. This doesn’t have an effect on my viewership because I checked out almost a decade ago on college sports outside of the occasional Gonzaga basketball game.

So the next move is for the remaining Pac teams to merge with the remaining Big XII teams right? The Rocky 16? Really good at wrestling and beach volleyball and weed cultivation?

It still is. The only question now is whether there will be a third super conference that can be cobbled together by the remnants of the Pac, B12 and ACC.

Expand  

Aside from Clemson, the remnants of these 3 conferences suck ass. If they tried to make a 3rd super conference, they’d be viewed as inferior G5 level of competition. 

College football is likely headed for 2 super conferences of 20 teams each. SEC (ESPN) vs B1G (Fox) TV contracts are driving the whole thing. The remaining schools need to claw their way into these 2 conferences before all 20 slots are filled up. 

Texas/OU leaving to the SEC is the same as USC/UCLA leaving to the B1G - the biggest schools in their conferences said the relationship is dead and the Big 12/Pac 12 cannot be saved.

I don't care what happens to realignment as long as the big12 dies.

Now it looks like the big12 and pac12 get to share the same fate in the 2nd tier conferences.

SEC

BIG10

-------Power Gap-------

Big12

ACC

Pac12

So you are fine with watching the death of CFB?  A whole lot fewer people are going to give a shit about the sport if the P5 becomes the P2.

this destroys the rose bowl celebration of special-ness and clears the way for on-campus home games in the first 2 rounds of a 16-team playoff

if you are orphan12+ or orphanPAC or soon to be orphanACC then yeah, this sucks

which i guess is a majority of college football fanbases

blame aggy and larry scott, they share the blame 1000%

add the intergalactic arrogance of cal and tree to the list of blame recipients

you're going to need a fleet of at least 5 specially-configured planes with lie-flat sleeper cabins and that's going to cost each school $2-3m a year to maintain

"But the cleaving of the conference, and perhaps its eventual destruction, becomes Larry Scott’s legacy.  Meanwhile, he pocketed close to $50 million in salary courtesy of the Pac-12 and is sipping wine overlooking a sunset somewhere."

CFB has needed this change for years and should have happened when Arkansas (and should have been Texas and Aggy) left for the SEC.

The top players will go to the SEC/BIG hierarchy, the game will be better, more eyeballs will watch. It goes with NIL/portal and balances the level. The lesser schools left in the lesser conferences will scramble for scraps because folks aren’t watching K State Iowa State. Never have. They can scramble for the nonconf games with the big schools to get bucks. It will all be fine.

Unless you’re a Rutgers fan watching your game with USC at 1 am.
