He makes the same ones year-after-year-after-year...and it pretty much costs us a couple of losses per year over and above the ones we should lose, like Bama, at LSU, etc.

Oregon, due to their recent success, is looking for a coach who will lead them back to dominating the Pac12 and put them back in national contention. If Dan goes there and continues to blow a couple of games a year that they should win...they'd turn their backs on him rather quickly, IMO.
Plus, Oregon's real problem right now is putting a competent defense on the field? How much is Dan going to help with that?
