A very interesting case is Helfrich at Oregon.

Oregon hasn't fired a coach or hired from outside the program since 1977 when they fired Don Read and hired Rich Brooks (from UCLA).

After that they went Brooks to NFL - hire OC Bellotti, Bellotti to AD - hire OC Kelly, Kelly to NFL - hire OC Helfrich.

I don't know the local views on Oregon's staff to know if they have a logical successor there right now. Their Asst Head Coach has been the OL coach for about 30 years. Their OC is new and I don't think very high profile. Their DC is Hoke who of course has been a major program head coach but teams don't promote coordinators of atrocious units. I'd guess their most likely candidate is Scott Frost - who as a first year head coach at UCF at least has them playing competitively against their schedule.

The way things are going with the 49ers, Chip Kelly may be back on the market soon.
