Hmmm. I think he way overranks Kelly. Kelly came on as OC for what was already an excellent Duck team in 2007. He was then OC for two years and head coach or four. But he left to the NFL, where he basically was a bust, and Helfrich took over. Four years later Helfrich was fired, Oregon went in a different direction and they're now on their third coach in three years. His legacy in Oregon wasn't long lasting. And while his legacy on the game of college football was immense, I think if not Oregon, he would have been hired at some other program.
In contrast, the same year as Kelly became OC at Oregon, Harbaugh took over a 1-11 team, transformed it into a powerhouse, and handed the reigns off to Shaw four years later. Seven years after that, 11 years after Harbaugh took over, we are still riding this incredible wave. The transformation of the program cannot be denied.
