Mark Helfrich remains Oregon coach … for now
From the Oregonian … Regardless of how you feel about Mark Helfrich as a coach, I think most of us agree he is a good person.
He was a big part of the run of success the Oregon Ducks enjoyed from 2009-15, a stretch in which the Ducks made themselves at home in college football’s upper echelon and played for the national title twice.
He has, to my knowledge, been a good soldier within the athletic department, both as offensive coordinator and, for the past four seasons, the head coach.
So he deserves a quick decision, up or down, about whether he will be back in charge of the program in 2017.
Media outlets both inside and outside the state are reporting the Ducks already have engaged a search firm to find a replacement.

College Football News – Helfrich and UCLA’s Jim Mora on watch list
From the College Football News … After Week 13 Coaches Hot Seat Top 5 Ranking
1. Mark Helfrich, Oregon
He’s having one of those, “have a seat, close the door” meetings this week, and it’s being reported that his fate is already sealed. If that’s true, Helfrich goes from being the darling of college football just two years ago to gone. Going 4-8 with a team good enough to have contended for the Pac-12 North – and losing to the archrival by ten in the final game – will do that.
5. Jim Mora Jr. UCLA
There’s really no talk about firing him, and he just signed an extension this summer that pays him through 2021, but the team slipped last year and fell off the map this season. Injuries played a part in the problem, but there wasn’t a total rash of disasters like, say, Arizona had to deal with. After going 4-8, now Mora is an okay 41-24 in Westwood, but there’s a bigger problem – USC is getting great again. UCLA had its chance to be the hot program in LA, and now that’s gone.
