What’s next for Oregon after (another) playoff collapse: The leadership and structure are right, but something’s missing

Time to whack the button in Eugene. But which one?

Certainly not the eject button. Dan Lanning is the ideal coach for Oregon. He relates well to players, represents the university in first-class fashion, never loses to lesser teams and wins at a rate few peers can match.

Or the panic button. With their infrastructure and resources, the Ducks are built to win at least 10 games per season in the era of revenue sharing, third-party NIL and the transfer portal.

Or the snooze button.
