Not watching this or any more crap as it relates to our program but the general reaction from others is that nothing substantive came out of this and now seems more apparent that both are gonna have to go to really change things around here

I'd prefer that he be fired instead of fired up.

They still seem to be "learning on the job".
That's the dynamic that I see.

the phrase "talk is cheap" comes to mind

They don't want to pay the buyout. Tosh is going to get another season to get it going in the right direction.

Hate to nitpick, but there is nothing exciting about being 3-6.

Lupoi talking about being "fired up" to have a full transfer portal/recruiting cycle signals he believes was more limited in building the team this season

Every coach on the hot seat talks about "next season" or "another chance" or "more resources" to try to steer the conversation away from how much of a failure this season is.

I do wish they could credibly and convincingly say they had a plan to win out, and in the process get the Axe back, be bowl eligible and finish with a winning conference record for the first time since 2009.

Tosh could've had a full transfer portal cycle last year, too, but he chose to remain at UO as DC (even though Lanning didn't need him). He doesn't get to pretend that the lack of a full portal cycle was anyone's fault other than his own.

Nothing wrong with sticking around to finish the job, talent is way down the list for why this season has gone the way it has

It's so frustrating listening to Lupoi talk in a presser. He almost never talks in complete sentences, and he doesn't seem to recognize that sentences should have a subject. He speaks in clauses. Endless clauses.

Nothing substantive came out of this presser. It's just the same old coach speak, and everybody loves everybody. Just trust us that the future is going to be bright. No acknowledgement of the repeated shortcomings on offense, defense, and special teams, and what the coaching staff is doing about it.

Agreed. But he's implying he shouldn't be judged based in this season because he didn't get to bring in the guys he wanted due to having a shortened transfer cycle. But he's the one who caused that issue. He doesn't get a pass for creating the very problem of which he's now complaining.

He has no clue as to how to manage a football operation, maybe a whole new crew of coordinators with next year's class can do that for him but that would depend on him actually knowing what assistants to look for, if he can't recruit good staffers as much as he can good players then why even bother

They look and sound like opposing contestants on a game show here. Tosh's body language and tone is thoroughly beaten. I'm expecting another blowout loss this Saturday.

Forgot about that. I thought at the time - what is he thinking? Is he a duck or a bear? How can he preach his devotion to Cal when he's compromising his commitment?
