Rick won the conference and the Rose Bowl with 1 loss in his 2nd season on the job, after finishing 2nd in the conference his first year. He was supposed to be recruiting lights out. He lost his team leading QB after that season.
I've yet to hear from a nervous Duck fan. After last year everyone was shittin' bricks, sorry, shittin' rocks.
Larry Coker had 16 first round draft picks. Bill Doba is the only guy you can compare to Larry Coker. They were both given good/great teams as a retirement present. They won a bit, didn't recruit because they didn't care, and were way too nice so their players shit all over them.
Slingblade took over a juggernaut and after two seasons it firmly remains in that status.
Oregon started to get good at the end of Brooks, got way better under Bellotti, became elite under Chip, and are doing everything needed to stay elite under Slingblade.
UW was elite under Don James and went to shit regardless of the head coach after.
What we know is in modern college football that Oregon football is a success, not a coach. Don James was a success, not UW football. The facts are on my side. Congrats on your crystal ball, it's old enough that it can't be on its parent's health insurance anymore.
I have arguments going on three forums here and another two on another board. And I am right in all of them despite those that would misrepresent what I have actually written.
While we're using once in a lifetime comparisons I'll throw out Tennessee in 1998-1999. In 1998 they get smashed in their Bowl game and the best QB in school history leaves. In 1999 they win the National Championship with a turn covered in burnt hair under center.
Obviously, Oregon wins it all in 2015 because of this.
A doog's worst nightmare. Just when they thought Oregon would finally begin to decline and as they secured their "great" $2.5 million a year coach that would return them to the days of riding shotgun as USC's sidekick, Oregon goes to the Natty while Peter PudWacker performs at the level they expected Helfrich to.
The Huskies have more talent than they have ever had. All the receivers were freshman, the wonder twins. Damon Huard is better than Brunell. Kauffman and the stable of running backs are better than anything Oregon has. Breuner and the tight ends are great because its Washington. Every one who plays D line for Washington goes to the NFL. I was wrong about Lambo - he can coach.

Mosster is right. 24-4 >>>>>>>> 14-8. Winners win.
I will say that so far he does have Kelly's team executing at a high level, though some of that has to be balanced with them shitting themselves when they get punched in the mouth. Stanford and Arizona last year were clear examples of that, and this year, anyone with a pair of eyes can see that they are not deep with elite fast and powerful athletes such as those at Ohio State. To be fair, USC is probably the only team in the conference that typically has that depth, but they're just coming off sanctions and coached by an inept armenian. Oregon should continue to compete for conference titles, but getting to the playoffs again, under the current format, let alone getting over that last hump will be no easy task.
Hey buttfuck Cletus. You might have missed it, but your allstar Bama team got fucked over by the same amount of points and yardage. We can go to any SEC forum and hear this same hillbilly shit about Oregon regurgitated over and over. While UW is shitting themselves in about 70% of the games they play, Oregon made the NCG 2 times in the last 5 years. Your swamprat brethren are always quick to jump on the rare Oregon loss and claim it's proof that Oregon is a gimmick, even though it's the program in CFB that has the most wins for the last several years. You cornbread fed clowns are so quick to forget how Oregon punched Stanford, Utah, Michigan State and Florida State in the mouth and stood up to their 'physicality.' Had a few dropped passes been caught early and momentum maintained this game would have been different. A larger lead would have neutralized their running back somewhat and forced their QB to take more chances. Unfortunately a few ducks were off their game, and a certain dumbfuck chose to smoke weed instead of play in the Natty.
Oregon also gave up more than 500 yards, and they also lost by 22 with a 4-1 turnover advantage.
Bama would have whooped your asses. Saban > Helfrich. Fact.
They couldn't stop shit. They are a shell of what they formerly were, on both sides of the ball. They would have lost if good Oregon showed up to play the game.

Good Oregon just didn't want to be there. They didn't want Ohio State.

How'd that turn out?
Comparing Helfrich's situation in Eugene to Coker's at Miami is fucking stupid. Do you think there are 38 Pro Bowlers on Oregon's roster this year?
@SouthernDawg 's perspective is much more reasonable.
At this point in time Helfrich has earned the benefit of the doubt
not so nervous that I would be changing the facts or comparing 2014 Oregon with 2001 Miami
