Helfrich has been the head coach for 4-years...he is long gone from the shadow of Chip Kelly. This is his team / recruits. Let's not forget, it was Helfrich's decisions to abandon coaching the QB's HE recruited and for two consecutive years go with graduate one-and-done transfer players for the position. Now all of a sudden he(Helfrich) is a "genius" for playing Herbert? ROFL Last year the Ducks finished 9-4 and this year they have already surpassed that number of losses with game remaining.  Now there is a lot of silly Duck fans who think Helfrich "needed" a season like this one to "rebuild"....yeah right...two years ago with a team comprised of many Chip Kelly players, Oregon played for the National Championship Game and today they  are 3-5 and headed for one of the worst seasons in recent history.  That is not rebuilding or "stepping out of shadow"....that is poor coaching.
