per CBS:

When Chip Kelly was in charge, Oregon recruited well, but not on the level of an Alabama. What Oregon lacked in five-star superpower, however, it made up for with an innovative coach that knew his scheme inside and out, and knew how to be successful with it and the quarterbacks he groomed for it.

Oregon doesn't have that anymore, but if it knows what's good for it, it'll do everything in its power to find it.

Which is why I believe Oregon needs to move on from Helfrich as soon as possible. Tom Herman is the grand prize for any program looking for a new coach this offseason, and with the LSU gig already open, Oregon should get its hat in on the Herman sweepstakes as quickly as possible.

With all the money this program has behind it in Phil Knight and Nike, it has as good a shot of luring Herman away from Houston as anybody, and Oregon owes it to itself to at least try.

Go Gophers!!
 

Pretty difficult for a non-blueblood to have sustained top 10 kind of success.

They'd be better off keeping the coach a few more years and then picking up Chip Kelly when he gets fired from San Fran in a few years.
