I must admit I am SHOCKED at this hire. I really would have thought OU would get better than this..... especially at this price.

[BuBraves55]

I'm calling it right now. If Dana gets hired at UO, he'll finish his career there.

[Out of Balance]

Wow.

Wonder if the PJS will cover the Ducks a little now... since KW has a Man-Crush on Dana.

Ha MMob, how do you know this to be As you always made claim to never read the PJS

[Future Walk-On]

I bet he comes back to CU the day he arrives in Eugene

[Duane82]

I think Altman stays at Oregon for roughly 36 hours and runs back to Omaha where he had it good.

[tornado]

$15 mil over 7 years can be good...

[mexicobufan]

It may have been time for a change for him as well as the school. This could be a win, win..........

[BUFAN]

He owned Bradley, I'm glad to see him go!

[tornado]

oddly, so are plenty of his own fans and reportedly the players as well who like to think they own the program..

I hope Barry Bear gets the job, not so we can call him Blue Barry, but because I like him and love is interviews.

I think it is a fair question... if McKenna were to take the CU job why isnt he required to sit out the two years that a player from ISU would be required to sit if he were to go to transfer to CU?

I think that's a great idea! Hate to lose him as he is establishing a good foundation but really could not see him passing the job if offerred. Not many good reasons to take the job......alumni, more money, newer arena, lived in Omaha for long time? Did not expect the Sycamores to be involved in any coaching search this quick but "As the World Turns".........?
