The coaching carousel in college football has started spinning already, and it has done so with a decision that will make everyone in the sport a little dizzy: Mark Helfrich is out at Oregon, just two years removed from taking the Ducks to the national title game.
Hefrick went 4-8 this season, the first losing season in Eugene since 2004, and his program was trending down. Still: When a coach with a 37-16 record hits the unemployment line after one bad season, it's a sign that your chosen profession is just a bit whacky.
Oregon is one of the best jobs in the country, so athletic director Rob Mullens will have no shortage of candidates.
