Oregon’s head coach Dan Lanning prepares to bring Dylan Raiola to the team. However, Ducks fans are not very pleased with it and expressed their views on social media.

Dylan Raiola’s expected visit to Oregon has not gone over well with a vocal section of the Ducks’ fanbase, as frustration and skepticism continue to spill across social media. According to On3’s Pete Nakos, the former Nebraska quarterback is set to be hosted by Dan Lanning and his staff, but the reception from the Oregon community has been anything but welcoming.

Soon after the report surfaced, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice concerns about Raiola’s fit, commitment, and the optics of pursuing yet another high-profile transfer quarterback. Many Ducks supporters believe Oregon should prioritize stability at the position, especially after their recent loss to Indiana.

A common theme among fan reactions centers on Raiola’s brief stint at Nebraska and the circumstances surrounding his exit. Some Oregon fans questioned whether the quarterback’s departure raised red flags about his development or ability to adapt to the pressure of playing at a major program. Others worried that bringing in Raiola could disrupt the current quarterback room and send the wrong message to players already on the roster.
