Wow! I did not see this coming. I can't say I'm sorry to see him go. Oregon is a beast. I think we will see Chris Peterson announced before too long...unless the sanctions are too steep.

If Helfrich is successful at Oregon, he could easily be at Oregon for as long as he wants much like Tom Osborne at Nebraska. It's sickening to my stomach that Helfrich was in Boulder and now is the head coach of a conference rival. I still remember that 2007 OU-CU game...Helfrich called a great offensive game against OU.
You might want to tap the brakes on Helfrich. Holy ****. Tom Osborne?

Surprised so many of you are happy about this. The pac12 just lost its premiere coach. Oregon, most likely, will falter and not be what it has been the last couple years. It's not good for the pac12 not CU to have great programs get worse. Right now, there's about 2.5 premiere schools in the conference when it comes to football. Long term, this is bad for CU.
It evens out over time. Oregon was never going to sustain its current success, even if Kelly had stayed. CU needs to worry about ourselves right now. The only thing we are doing right now is embarrassing the conference.

Im not so sure about Oregon not maintaining its level of competitiveness. Sure, they won't make BCS bowl games every year like they have, but with Kelly there, I didn't see them not being competitive for conference championships every year, and national title hopes every couple years.
Its true we have to worry about ourselves, as we are a laughingstock. But I'd rather be a ****** team in a great conference than a ****** team in a good conference is all I'm saying.

Just need to work on the little things.

To be a great conference, it is more than just having elite teams though. The middling teams like Oregon State, UCLA, Washington, Arizona, and Arizona State getting better would make the conference stronger.

beware the habu
Mikey Vick must be shattin' in his drawers, right about now.
He couldn't stay healthy as a pocket qb. I say he lasts 4 games, max.

They would have to renegotiate Vicks contract. There is no way they would pay 15.5 million each of the next two years for a QB like Vick.
i don't think he'll make it out of preseason, either.
If Chip is smart he won't throw Vick to the dogs that way...
Based on what? You could see Helfrich being one of the best college football coaches of all time?
:lol:
Kelly's offense doesn't run the QB nearly as much as people think. The threat is there to keep defenses honest, but I bet the UO QB's run much less than many other spread offenses.
Chip's QB last season ran the ball about 8 times a game - Don't think Vick needs to be too worried about extra wear and tear. He just needs to be worried that he's too expensive and too old.

Tebow and Vince Young to join Vick on the Eagles.
I'd watch that.
I'd watch that.
Tebow does not fit Chip Kelly's system. Not at all really.
Any bets on which coach said this? It has Kiffin written all over it IMO.
Leach is a STRONG contender.
Nah. He hasn't been around long enough in the Pac yet to throw that out. Give him another year though, and watch out. Fat little Pullman girls better run.
