According to my Duck colleague (who is still pissed at Taggart), this was the correct/best hire.

Keeps the program "on track" as much as possible, following the Taggart bail.

That being said, due to a lack of demand for Cristobal's services as a head coach, I'm sure they can structure a contract that is friendly to the school at a good price and high buyout. That way they can try him out, and if they change again in a year or two it won't be particularly expensive.

Oh?  Makes him sound like Oregon's answer to Buddy Teevens.

Except Teevens was not an inside hire with a year of demonstrated ability, and actively supported by roughly a two thirds super majority of current players. But other than that, sure.
