Cristobal never presented a persona of great competence. He had a bit of Clay Helton in him. When Oregon won, it always seemed Cristobal was just "present". It was never because he did anything remarkable. However,when they lost, it was usually in the presence of questionable coaching decisions. There were also cases where his team just didn't show up.
Well, they did offer him more than $7 million per year to stay.
