They fired the whole staff  when  they fired Helfrich.  It's  unbelievable to me they didn't have their guy ready to sign a contract the next day.  Only time will tell if this was the right decision.  The new guy better win 9 or 10 games every year or he will
Be gone before his contract is up. It's unrealistic to believe that you can win 10 or more games  at Oregon every year no matter who your coach is.
Good luck Mark you truly are a class act.
