Dan Lanning didn't waste any time replacing Kenny Dillingham as Oregon's offensive coordinator, and in many ways seems to have made a similar hire. However, some differences appear to exist between how Will Stein calls an offense compared to how the Ducks' offense looked this season.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin breaks through what Coach Stein's offense showed this season as it helped lead UTSA to a Conference-USA Championship and 11-win season; breaking down how his vision for offense fits into Oregon's personnel as the roster currently stands. Some roster additions and landing key recruits will certainly be needed to maximize the potential of Will Stein's offense.

Oregon's defense was disappointing in many ways this year, does that mean we should expect Oregon to shuffle things around with position coaches on defense? Plus, Spencer talks about why no Oregon coaches have (yet) gone to join Kenny Dillingham at Arizona State.

Kenny Dillingham has hit the ground running after accepting the head coaching position at Arizona State--and now Dan Lanning has done the same in finding his replacement. Oregon Football's new offensive coordinator is Will Stein, who has been the OC and passing game coordinator for the UTSA Roadrunners out of Conference-USA.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin dives into the newest (and most important) offensive coaching hire for Dan Lanning and the Ducks. His resume from his time with UTSA is quite impressive, and in many ways he might be a familiar feeling for Duck fans when thinking about the offensive coordinator role.

With the transfer portal wide open, Oregon (like every other program) now has access to players that can commit to their school rather than only dealing with announced departures. Former 5-star LB Justin Flowe announced he will be leaving the Ducks which may surprise some given the amount of hype he had coming out of high school--but it's not a cause for concern.

Rumors have been flying around with regards to who Dan Lanning will bring on as his next OC after the departure of Kenny Dillingham. Joe Brady's name has been mentioned in relation to the job, but a report from Bruce Feldman appears to have shut down that notion. Whoever it is, he will likely be announced soon.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin goes through the latest news for the Ducks as they prepare for their bowl game. They'll take on North Carolina in the Holiday Bowl on December 28th in San Diego.

The transfer portal announcements, unsurprisingly, are continuing for Oregon (and many other programs). One of the latest names is not of much concern, but another is a bit more notable.

Prior to the transfer portal opening on December 5th, several Oregon Football players have already announced their intentions to enter the transfer portal and leave the progrum. Dont'e Thornton is perhaps the most impactful player to announce he won't return to the Ducks to this point, meaning at this point in time there's no cause for alarm despite the bevy of plays he made this year.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at how Oregon is currently being affected by the portal--with an eye on what might still be to come. He goes through each player who has announced he won't be returning and where that leaves the affected position group.

With the early signing window less than 20 days away, Oregon Football is currently without an offensive coordinator. Spencer breaks down the pros and cons of hiring former Carolina Panthers OC and current Bills QB coach Joe Brady, and lays out why the hire is likely to come sooner rather than later.

With OC Kenny Dillingham gone after accepting the head coaching job at his alma mater down in Tempe at Arizona State, the biggest question his vacancy leaves is not who will call plays in the bowl game--it's how the Ducks will fair in recruiting. Dante Moore has been close with Kenny Dillingham throughout his recruiting process, and now Duck fans (fairly) wonder whether or not the highly-touted QB recruit will stay committed to Oregon.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Sports Illustrated's director of recruiting, John Garcia. He sheds tremendous insight on how Oregon proceeds on the recruiting front, particularly on the offensive side of things, without currently having a coach with the title of offensive coordinator.

With the early signing window just a couple weeks away, the Ducks have been quietly racking up some verbal commitments, most recently 4-star DT Johnny Bowens who chose the Ducks over multiple Texas schools. Spencer and John talk about what sort of player the Ducks are getting in Bowens when he gets to campus in 2023.

With Kenny Dillingham having left Oregon to be the head coach at Arizona State, Dan Lanning will need a new top offensive coach for his second year at the helm for the Ducks. Lots of names are being thrown around right now, but some are more appealing than others for various reasons.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin takes a look at early names to watch for in the search for a new offensive coordinator and play-caller. He also discusses two of Oregon's early transfer announcements in RB Byron Cardwell and WR Dont'e Thornton.

Both former 4-star recruits brough plenty of promise to Oregon and showed glimpses of it during their time playing for the Ducks. Yet, neither reached their full potential--but Oregon still appears to be solid at both position groups going forward even with their departures.

Oregon Football, much like students in high school or college, faced a big test on Saturday with a spot in the conference title game on the line. After getting through what felt like the difficult portion of the test, Oregon seemed to think they could coast through the rest of it--and it resulted in getting an F instead of an A.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin (painfully) goes through how it all came crashing down after Oregon built a 21-point lead late in the third quarter in Corvallis. EVERY thing that had to go wrong DID go wrong in that fourth quarter--but it was about more than that.

With this loss keeping Oregon from a shot at a Pac-12 Championship game, it's one that stings for Duck fans like few games have over the years. Where does this loss to the Beavs rank amongst the worst losses in recent memory for Oregon Football?

It's hard to comprehend how Oregon blew a 21-point lead late in the third quarter against Oregon State in a game in which the Beavers completed just 6 passes and threw 2 interceptions. Oregon misses its chance at a 4th straight Pac-12 Championship, and it feels like the sky is falling in Eugene. It isn't.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin deals with the fallout from a calamitous game against the Beavs. The big picture for Oregon Football is still overly optimistic, even though it doesn't feel like that right now. The Ducks have made strides from last year, but still have more to make under Dan Lanning.

The frustrations from Saturday's meltdown are completely warranted for Duck fans. There is absolutely no excuse for what took place on the field, and it did not happen because Kenny Dillingham has left for the Arizona State job.

With Bo Nix unlikely to be at 100%, Oregon Football's ability to run the football could once again be a bit challenging given their offensive scheme. Just trying to throw the ball almost all the time is not a recipe for success against a strong OSU defense that has a particularly strong secondary.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Rian Winter (@SportsChat503) to breakdown the matchup with the Beavs. They give a multitude of reasons as to why the running game is so crucial to decide this year's edition of the rivalry game.

Oregon's defense, on paper, has a favorable matchup against an Oregon State team that has a very similar scheme to what Utah presented last week. If the Ducks' defense plays as they did in Eugene last week, the Ducks could make life very difficult for the Beavs' offense because of their personnel limitations.

With one major rivalry game already in the books with a sour result, the desire for Ducks' fans to knock off the Beavers on Saturday is understandably high. Oregon hasn't lost to Washington and Oregon St in the same season since 2016. What else is on the line for the Ducks in Corvallis on Saturday?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Max Torres of Fan Nation/Sports Illustrated and host of the 'Ducks Dish' podcast. They look at the biggest storylines for the game--including how it affects Oregon's postseason aspirations--and some of the things Oregon needs to show (or didn't show) from the win over Utah.

Recruiting continues afoot for the Ducks in the 2023 cycle (and beyond), and Max has been hot on the recruiting trail talking to high school prospects considering the Ducks. He shares the latest insight on what Oregon recruiting is looking like with some potential commits looming for the Ducks.
