Here ya go: You can read it right here.

Yep. And here it is from Go Ducks:

DL really didn’t have any choice. I understand the loyalty and promoting from within but Mehringer seriously didn’t have any kind of resume to deserve being OC. Not for a top 5 fbs program anyway.

So.....who is assuming the OC role?

Yeah, that one will go down as a historically bad decision. Kudos to DL for having the cajones to pull the trigger now rather than later.

Does anybody know the rules for bringing in anybody short term in mid season? Seems like a Helfrich type guy could come in and at least steady the ship till the end of the season.

Chip Kelly is coming to town this weekend. Oh wait, that's for a game and not an interview!

I would imagine it would be like any open job, some can get hired and start immediately.

Ok, stay strong coach

Maybe it's both.

There are some good folks on this forum that could easily surpass what the former OC was doing!! Guaranteed!!

For grins, I utilized Google Gemini AI to see what it thought.

The first four names are:

Brennan Marion - UNLV OC

Andy Kotelnicki - Penn State OC

Major Applewhite - S. Alabama HC

And, apparently for nostalgia,

Chip Kelly

As OC at Ohio State, and now Northwestern, Chip appears to have found his place and groove.

Hopefully, he has finally learned, that he is just not a head coach... with the one, "lightning in a bottle," exception at Oregon.

But damn... he got us so close.

AI needs help. Today, Andy K is the OC at Kansas.

The way Penn State played in 2025 when Andy was there, I don't think K is Special. 😁

Auditor: One who counts the bodies after the battle. This relegation is a predictable move that comes too late. DUH!

Maryland fired its DC the week before the head coach was fired after losing to Rutgers the following week. Accountability starts at the top; I think Dan knows this.

Bad coaching on many fronts in 2026. But can good coaching overcome bad talent evaluation? Many 4* recruits on the field cannot block.

What is of paramount importance now is inviting the players who aren't cutting it to transfer out and keeping quality recruits committed; the vultures are circling.

This team has to be rebuilt via the portal. A one-year regression is understandable. But Clemsoning is not. In CFB, if you are not competing for championships, you are ignored.

OT, but it truly ticks me off. Saturday's game being broadcast on Peacock means a less-than-robust viewing audience. This will be NW's 3rd appearance on the Bird this season. Absurd for a Top 25 NW football team that has lost one game by two points at Indiana and should be ranked in the teens and not the twenties.

Dyer was down…
