So if MH is back does that mean nobody wanted to coach the Ducks ?

I just wanted to poll who Oregon's next head football coach will be

per news sources! Nice guy, but had to be done.

I've reached out to almost every 2017 and 2018 recruit so far regarding the news of Mark Helfrich's firing. I will keep this thread going with the latest updates:

-- Alex Forsyth said he remains 100 percent committed and that he's more committed to the school than a coaching staff.

-- Popo Aumavae said he honestly doesn't know where his commitment stands and that he's going to take the rest of his visits.

-- Jaylon Redd told me he's going to get back to me shortly so I'll be waiting on that one.

Stole this from TOS, it gave me a good chuckle.

When your rival wants your coach to stay, it's time for him to go.

Four-star ATH Deommodore Lenoir has de-committed from Oregon.

First, let me say I am only going by what I have read, which means who knows what is real? But, if Mullins really went to the playoff committee meetings without telling Helfrich where he stands, leaving him to head out on the recruiting trail not knowing if he has a job, that is no way to run a program. If Helfrich is not going to be retained, Mullins certainly could have delayed his trip long enough to meet. As I have stated, I don't think he should keep his job, but he certainly deserves to get treated fairly and with respect. Again, I don't know if what has been reported is true. But if it is....

We are hearing that this meeting will take place tonight. We are also hearing that it is not necessarily a firing meeting. Interesting...

2017 three-star Mountain View (Calif.) St. Francis running back Cyrus Habibi-Likio informed me this afternoon that Oregon coach Mark Helfrich along with offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Matt Lubick made an in-home visit last night. He was expecting them this week but didn't offer up a date until this afternoon.

Said that from the beginning of this aka this weekend, he felt that the coaches were feeling fine and not giving any indictions they were going to be fired. Last night he said the three talked more about life than Oregon and football, saying "we all laughed and had an amazing time."

Doesn't mean everything or anything, but if Oregon does follow through and remove Helfrich the PR damage won't be enough

I wanted to take the pulse of the members today.

Here is what he had to say about the coaching situation and his commitment.

Robinson-Carr solid but concerned about coaching situation

You will find his introduction and conclusion spicy, and he uses some salty words that he has not printed before. But then....he has not felt this way about Oregon football before either, thus you will see a massive shift in his views of the coaching situation.


Read over there and comment here as usual; remember that when FishDuck gives his views? He backs it up with facts and/or examples.

Pay back time. I bet the team will really start to gel in this home game stretch. We are towards the bottom of the top 20 in the latest poll.

Beating Southern Oregon 80-57 with just over 2:46 to go

So where do we go now...Can we back up the truck and get Mullens/Simon?

After 10 straight losses, will Chip be out and available? Does the AD want him back?

Do we gamble with another unknown?

Do we write a big check for Charlie Strong at DC or try and pull Sirmon or someone else at DC...very interesting times at Oregon!

Here is Coach Helfrich with his season-ending presser today. If he gets fired this will be the last one he will do here.

His opening statement was very interesting.

"Good morning. I anticipate a lot of questions about a certain topic. I really don’t know anything at this point other than I called (Athletic Director) Rob (Mullens) about 9 o’clock this morning knowing everybody here would ask about it. He wants to meet midweek this week at this point based on is travel schedule"

Not necessarily just for the Xs and Os.

Nike/Oregon is all about the BRAND.

The BRAND is in mortal danger right now.

With CK, Nike/Oregon can get back to the cutting edge again....which has to be where PK wants them.

Nike knows a thing or two about marketing.

How many reasons do we need to make a change? Check this out: http://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/index.ssf/2016/11/oregon_ducks_streaks_that_came.html

Here is one four-star commit the Ducks will not have to worry about.

Forsyth focused on State Championship

This is something to cheer you up, while waiting for the shoe to drop.

So far, so good..QBR 140 vs 50.

Word is he is exploring options. Might we be one of them? Seems interesting to me...what other options is he exploring?
