And now the Ducks make it official:

Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens announced a change in leadership in the football program Tuesday, ending the four-year tenure of head coach Mark Helfrich.

This is actually a pretty big deal. Oregon has not fired a coach - or hired anyone other than their own offensive coordinator, since 1977. That's 39 years.

I don't think there is another program in the country with anything close to that level of coaching continuity. It has served the Duckies well over this span. I don't think there is any chance Matt Lubick (current Ducks OC) is getting the job - or likely anyone currently in house. It will be very interesting to see in which direction this change in philosophy leads them.
