I thought they'd get a bigger name....I think the fact they dumped Helf so quickly, turned off many candidates.
Have to disagree with you here. Oregon's program has been in a steady decline since Kelly left. They gave Helfrich four years to prove himself by reversing the downward trajectory to no avail. The Duck boards have been clamoring for his release since September and posting threads arguing his possible replacements. Losing to the hapless and inferior- in their opinion and view- Beavs was the final nail in his coffin. Ray Charles could read the writing on that wall. His termination was not quick, it was the end of a long process.I thought they'd get a bigger name....I think the fact they dumped Helf so quickly, turned off many candidates.

I would only wish that on the huskies.Wonder if he'll add Wulff as his offensive coordinator?
Agreed. His resume since leaving Stanford is pretty impressive.I think that Oregon did get a "small hire" but a good one
Most proven hire they have ever made. Belotti was a below .500 coach at a small school then an assistant when he was hired. Kelly was an assistant with no head coaching experience. Helfrich was an assistant.
Hiring a coach off an impressive program turn around that won 10 games this past season is hardly a small hire. The job Taggart did at South Florida is more impressive than what Herman did at Houston. Houston has had great seasons comparable to what Herman did. South Florida had never finished a season ranked before this year. South Florida also had a better season this year than Houston did.
