G2,  I am currently thinking Helfrich should have another year unless the team completely implodes the final three games.  I have never really thought Helfrich was an independent, "I own this program" head coach.  But I am sure it is his now.  Nothing currently about the program is original, new, or fresh.  Everything Oregon is doing has been copied by virtually all the other up and coming programs.  Getting kids to come to Oregon is going to be even harder in the future.  I was never a fan of the "river boat gambling" two point conversion, which finally bit Oregon in the Nebraska game.  I often wonder how the season would have went if that game had been won with one point kicks?  Also the "we don't need no stinking field goals" mentality is finally dead.

You know, I think I'm starting to talk myself into having an interest in Oregon football again!
