    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.

    How'd that turn out?

    Lambright *was* the head coach in 1993.

    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.

    Neuheisel might be a better comparison to Helfrich... he never really sucked at UW the way you guys want Helfrich to suck at UO, though.

    At this point in time Helfrich has earned the benefit of the doubt

    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.
