Oregon, expecting to fire Mark Helfrich, begins search for next head coach

FYI.....could help the Huskers on the recruiting front with two to three prospects.
Oregon has made preparations for a coaching search that will follow the eventual firing of Mark Helfrich, but the school has not officially pulled the trigger on the move as of late Saturday night, multiple people with knowledge of the process tell USA TODAY Sports.

Those people spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the process.

Given the difficult coaching marketplace and the $11.6 million buyout he’s owed, Oregon’s powerbrokers were hoping there would be enough reasons to keep Helfrich following the Ducks’ upset win at Utah. But Oregon’s 34-24 loss at Oregon State essentially erased any notion that the school could legitimately make the argument to keep Helfrich, who is 37-16 overall (4-8 in 2016) but has overseen significant slippage in both on-field performance and recruiting since the 2014 national championship game appearance.

The fact that they are meeting, means to me that he is being given one more shot at winning. I think they give him one more year, with the knowledge that if the Ducks aren't a winning team even half way through next season, he is gone. Just mpo.

Nope, but they played for 2, last game, verrry recently. 2 years ago, under his watch, inherited or not. He helped recruit those teams as an assistant. Now, it's fallen so dramaticlly, so fast. I totally understand. Easy losing faith going from 14 wins just 2 years ago, to 4 wins this year. Constant slippage in the middle also. Somebody just don't have it. Just the way it is.

Phi Knight will have a huge say so and from all I have read he wants him out and is willing to pony up big $$ to bring in the 'right' coach. He may get another year and there is one school of thought that he should. I can see both sides of the coin.

What about going from a title game to 7 losses in one season?
