    Agreed. The UO facilities are far superior to OSU. The problem is that the UO coaching staff is far inferior to OSU and everyone else in the Pac12. Time for Mertz to go and start fresh. Unless Oregon cares more about facilities than results?

      The cupboard is bare and that’s not the HC fault.

        There were two.

          No, the cupboard is not "bare." And if it was, it most certainly would be the head coach's fault. Question is will the AD care enough to make the change that's needed.

            Turf is wack for soccer; not even debatable. Dumb

              No one here knew so i had to do my own google search. She’s most likely gone on 12/31/2019. She was only renewed for one year in January. Per the contracts page, you can see coaches are usually given multi-year contracts. $118K/yr salary. How stressful for the 2020+ recruits.

                True that professional soccer is always played on grass. At least for men. The USWNT complained greatly about having to play on turf in WWC2015

                  1. What if UO beats OSU this year? Then wouldn’t she be better than the OSU coach?
                  2. Could just the recruiting coach lose their job?
                  3. Why would 2020 recruits worry? 2020s will have signed their nli in Nov. and be set. 2021s and beyond might need to worry but don’t new coaches honor verbals?

                    $118k per year for a soccer coach? What a waste of money! No wonder tuition is sky high.

                    Especially considering they can’t get any wins. Base pay should be $25k and then give her $15k per win.

                      There are two 'head' coaches at UofO. The team is very young, mostly Fr and So.

                        1. OSU is going to roll UO this year. Guarantee it.
                        2. Entire staff needs to go. The biggest issue is their goalkeeping situation which is dreadful. Current starting GK is Kat's recruit. Bench keeper (who shockingly must be worse) is other coach's recruit. As to whose fault it is they lost the Thorns GK commit, that depends on who you ask.
                        3. 2020 recruits should worry because a new coach brings in a new mindset. With OSU last year, 2019 recruits were not allowed to sign NLI's until new coach was hired. UO could do the same thing, leaving them hanging. And even if they do sign their letters before she gets fired, it's a huge uncertainty to commit 4 years of your life to a coach that doesn't even know you and maybe never even saw you play.

                        My predictions: She's fired after loss to OSU. After that debacle at Arizona last night, the AD should meet her at the airport and fire her on the spot, but that won't happen. At least a few of the 2020's jump ship. Team is greatly improved next year with whoever they bring in.

                          2020s don’t sign until November for early signing

                          They aren’t safe until signed

                            2 Head coaches? Well, maybe that’s part of the problem. Should only be one head coach.

                              This is what happens when you hire women for jobs simply because they are women.

                              Her previous record reflects the mediocrity that is there now. PSU as well.

                              If they want to win then hire someone who can win.

                                All true; only Big 5 school to play on turf for soccer is Oregon. Grass is very expensive to install and maintain.
