If the interview Oregon coach Mark Helfrich did with ESPN's Tom Rinaldi was supposed to sooth the angst in the UO fan base, I don't think it worked.
Oregonian/OregonLive columnist John Canzano dug into the subject with his Sunday column.
I linked Canzano's piece yesterday. But here it is again, in case you missed it. It's a worth a read.
A couple points:
-- Canzano hits this one hard. Helfrich comes across insincere, detached or both in his public comments.
I think fans want to see a little Rich Brooks-style anger. Two years ago, the Ducks were en route to the national title game.
