The Oregon Ducks are still reeling from a collapse in a 47-41 loss to TCU in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday, and head coach Mark Helfrich elected to demote former defensive coordinator Don Pellum in the aftermath.
According to the university's official athletics website, on Monday the coach "announced that Don Pellum, the Ducks' defensive coordinator the past two seasons, will move to linebackers coach. ... A national search for a new defensive coordinator will commence immediately."
