It someone jumping ship before serious shit hits the fan. Look at all the arrests this year ... he's just trying to get out now before it gets real weird
Why not insulate yourself
investigation may be looming. I have been told the time to get out is before the posse starts to circle (that's spelled p-o-s-s-e).
He just wanted to leave before the NCAA comes to town because their players are getting into so much trouble.

He's pulling a "Pete Carroll" as you say.

Oregon was basically an also ran until Belloti ramped up their program. Oregon suffers from the same second rate citizen status that Sparty does in the Big Ten. They are WAY below academically vs. Stanford, Cal, UCLA, USC, and of course, their worst nemesis, UW.
With the generous backing of Duck grad Phil Knight(Nike), Oregon has really put themselves on the map. And this, boys and girls, is how they did it.
People here really don't appreciate a guy like RR. Yeah, he hasn't hit his stride here(yet), but at least he hasn't had to resort to the BS that Belloti and Chip Kelley did.
What BS is that? Last I knew, Michigan was facing major infractions.
We are NOT a squeaky clean program anymore. I wish Michigan fans would stop acting like everyone else is worse than we are. Random speculation is all well and good, but an NCAA investigation - and the damning results - is a giant smoking gun.
By the way, just in case nobody noticed, Bill Martin retired at a rather convenient time, too...
It's a wonder that the keepers of college football's integrity over at the Free Press haven't exposed all the shenanigans that appear to going on at Oregon. Considering how thoroughly they covered the MSU "Fracas" story, I'd figured they'd be all over this.
Then again, exposes on practices that go over the limit by 20 minutes are really what is threatening the future of the sport.
reporters allowed in Oregon.
I was under the assumption that Belotti just didn't enjoy being an AD and wanted to get back into football in a different way. I don't think it has anything to do with OMG CHEATER$$$ like you all are implying.
