The most notable Oregon streak that ended this season was the home sellout streak. The loss that the athletic department is most concerned about is revenue. These reflect the two-year decline in Oregon football's performance and competitiveness, and they are why Helfrich was fired. He is a great guy and a good offensive coordinator who did not demonstrate the other competencies needed to be a successful head coach.

I hope the new coach will work to keep Campbell and Greatwood. Both have served admirably and successfully recruited and developed talent. It is hard to imagine improving on either of them.
