Late last night, Oregon decided to pull the plug on the Mark Helfrich era after an exceptionally disappointing season and years of diminishing returns. Since the Ducks haven’t fired a coach in ages, and their geography, culture and historical offensive system are unique, building a list of possible candidates is a bit trickier than it might be for other openings.
Already, one name that you might not expect has been reported as a candidate, and that’s Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano. According to Bruce Feldman, Schiano is a real candidate for the job.
Another name to keep an eye on for the #Oregon HC vacancy I'm told is #OhioState DC Greg Schiano.
