(5,044 posts)he called it "a good, old-fashioned butt-kicking" and said "there are no excuses." He congratulated Oregon on their preparation, and said he and the other coaches are accountable too, starting with him. All in all, what you want to hear a coach say after his team has just been dismantled.
As was pointed out, they were 1-11 last year, so if he can manage to get them bowl-eligible this season, that will be a decent accomplishment.

Coach 'Prime' was heard muttering, "Fup Duck".
