Helfrich Sells His Couch

Another shoe dropped this afternoon. All of the assistants were fired. Termination notices were sent out earlier this afternoon. Another VERY STRONG clue that Oregon already has their guy.

My sorcerers told me they are going to bring in a few coaches like Brian Kelly (yes you are right), Fleck, Frost, Charlie Weiss, Joe Paterno and Romeo Cronnell. They are going to settle it over a combination of challenges, such as madden 94, duck hunt, hot dog eating contest, and Twister. The final 2 will be given a list of materials and told to design a new uniform for the season opener, the kids will vote anonymously and the winning uniform will put the coach into the driver's seat for the most prestigious job in all of Eugene sports. People in the know are really hoping it's televised to boost recruiting. They think this will bring Molden home.

Baldwin it is.

Wouldn't Chip have wanted to keep some of his former lovers assistants?

Why would we? pay 11M to hire another coach who drove his Ferrari into a ditch?

I saw rumors too, didn't see the flightaware though.

Hiring ND retreads after firing Gilby is always special.

This worries me, because Notre Dame's first call to replace Kelly would have to be Petersen. There's not many high profile coaches out there right now.

I'd be much more worried about Petersen to Oregon than to ND.

Oregon doesn't scare me much. ND doesn't scare me at all.

Coach stays.

Petersen turned down national offers every year.

Losing him to Oregon ... maybe ... but after he hung 70 on them I would say he has purple blood when it comes to that discussion.

Losing him to ND ... no way. Who the fuck in their right mind would want to coach that dumpster fire.

And lastly ... he is much more a NW guy than a fucking mid-west hick.

If you were ND's AD and in a position where you may want to move on from Kelly, but don't want to pay his buyout, it puts you in an interesting position right? You don't want to set a precedent that if a coach wants to move on that you won't enforce the terms of the buyout ... but if the buyout is too painful to keep a program from hiring him then you run the risk of having to eat the buyout next year.

Fun times in the coaching carousel ...

All Oregon's commits are now following this guy on Twitter. Played against Kelly at UMASS and has been the recruiting coordinator at Temple for a couple years, so some overlap with Kelly. New recruiting coordinator?
