It’s 10 p.m. and as I write this Mario Cristobal is still the head coach of Oregon. 

Will he be tomorrow? I don’t know. 

Is it safe to go to bed tonight without news breaking? Not sure. 

Am I drawing this lede out too long hoping to buy time for some sort of clarity to set in? Probably. 

But that’s just kind of the day it’s been here in Oregon. And while being kept in the dark is to be expected for fans and media as the coaching carousel turns — remember, there is gobs of money at stake here — the sense of frustration caused by this “narrative” extended inside the building on Sunday.
