Too early to tell. I can see a big regression next year if Mariota leaves for the draft. They are losing some key players on defense too but they should be able to light up the scoreboard still if Mark HelfrichFS starts sticking to the run like Chip did.
They'll regress to Bellotti levels. I can't see them going back to how they were in the 60's, 70's, and 80's with Mr. Nike buying whatever NYC adspace, Brazilian wood, and PS4's they want. At the same time, its not a destination job.
Oregon has talent. And Helfrich, unlike Sark, has yet to prove he CAN'T learn from past mistakes. I'd give them another year. Unless the Ducks lose both the Civil War and their bowel game. Then Oregon is done. And Helfrich should be doused with 88 octane unleaded and lit on fucking fire....
If UW could challenge for Pac-12 championships, Rose Bowls or other BCS Bowls and/or be in the hunt during the season for the national championship then it wouldn't matter if the Ducks are done or not. I'm not the type to hope that the Ducks go completely in the cellar just so we have company down there. Instead, I hope that the Huskies will eventually become a solid, competitive program once again like they had been in the past. But, with Sark at the helm I'm not holding my breath... I'd have better luck waiting for my ex to not be a bitch. Never gonna happen.
They can still compete for conference titles. They were never a threat to be national champions, and that won't change. They will get beat up front by teams from the SEC and Ohio State with Urban Meyer.

I answered NOGAF since I think No One is a cool dude, and all I care about is FIRE SARK!
