To me, in hindsight, Hoke's hire started the end of Mark's head coaching career at the UO. The defensive scheme and the way it matched up with our athletes was at least 2 years away from fruition. I think Mark was grasping at straws as a result of the 2015 bowl game and as a result made the incorrect hire for DC. No knock on Hoke or Mark. Just a bad decision that added to injuries and some questionable play calling and quarterback development spelled doom. i think that if the defensive game had been average, Mark would get another year at least.
