“If you're scared of your coach leaving, come play for us. The Ducks aren't going anywhere and I'm not leaving either,” he says in the video.

Athletic director Greg Byrne must now turn his focus to his next candidate.
The list of names likely includes Washington State's Karen DeBoer, Texas' Steve Sarkisian and Florida State's Mike Norvell.
