But who do we realistically have a shot at, I would love to see Gus Malzahn on our sidelines. Any chance Uncle Phil could throw enough money at him to get him out of the SEC? It would drive our libtard professors apeshit, which is good, I don't see it happening though. All I know is Helfrich is not our man.

Why would Gus leave? He's already beaten Oregon for a national championship as a coordinator, he made one in his very first year as the front man and he's looking good for a second shot in year two.
The only real names out there that have had success running Oregon's system are Rich Rodriguez, Urban Meyer, Dan Mullen (just starting to at a shit school), Chip Kelly, Brian Kelly, and Gus Mahlzahn.
Urban isn't leaving the midwest, Mullen will replace Muschamp at the end of the season, Chip will probably never come back to college, No one is leaving Notre Dame for Oregon willingly, Gus wouldn't leave his home region for a lateral move, and Rich Rod would probably be hesitant to jump so quick after the Michigan debacle.
Oregon has a bean counter for an AD and the assistants on the staff have really deep roots to the program which is both good and bad. Slingbade will get two more seasons. The one positive is he is recruiting well on paper, which means nothing if you're a shit coach, but it does leave a replacement something to work with.
Altman was a great hire for a basketball program no one cares about. Horton in baseball, the softball guy, Lananna in track, the volleyball coach, etc.
If Oregon did the same due diligence finding a football coach I think they would make a very solid hire. I understood the Helfrich hire, but it was never a LIPO hire. It was either going to work or it wasn't and you'd know right away. It didn't work.
