So the National News was just running a story on the "The Greatest Comeback in College Football Bowl History". It was the lead story on several national web pages last night like Yahoo.
Apparently the TCU QB had never started a game. They did not discuss the historically bad Oregon defense, the late game collapses, and the complete breakdown of the Oregon QB which clearly made the comeback possible.
But how does Helfrich live this down? Some of the most embarrassing defeats in a decade have come with him at the helm. The Ducks haven't been slapped like this since some of the Civil War beatdowns of the Bellotti era or the WSU debacle from around 2003. The disasters are happening a little too frequently.
So now this is being replayed over and over again on a National Stage. Wow. Salt in the wound.
Next year will be fascinating, but the next few months will be pivotal in determining what happens next season. The decisions he makes in the next few weeks will define his time at Oregon. Choose wisely Mark.
I remember a Ken Woody column in the fall where he closed with the question: "Watch the sideline and see if it looks like they know what they are doing". We will see in the coming weeks.
So what do you guys expect to see regarding scheme, style, and coaches? Does Mark have the huevos to make changes? Will we see some evolution?
