In 2018, for the first time in 94 years, both the Oregon Ducks and the Oregon St Beavers introduced new head football coaches in the same season. Those coaches enjoyed somewhat different debuts. The goal for Coach Smith in 2019 is to improve on last year’s 2-10 record and show progress to help with buy-in, stability, and recruiting, and I think that’s achievable.
If we pencil in a win against Cal Poly (not the safest assumption with the Beavs, but they are on a five-game win streak against FCS teams), then that just means winning more than one FBS game.
