Best Thing for Oregon and College Football Is to Bring Back Chip Kelly

Autzen Stadium is open, Oregon needs a new lead duck and it's time for Chip Kelly to fly home.

Kelly made a name in coaching as the head coach of the Ducks from 2009-12, and he has the chance to make Oregon great again after the program dismissed head coach Mark Helfrich Tuesday night.

Helfrich was 37-16 in four years at Oregon and made an appearance in the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship Game following the 2014 season. But a 9-4 record last year preceded a 4-8 mark this year that culminated in the program's first loss to Oregon State since 2007.
