I don't know, by my count Oregon loses about half their starting line-up (and tons of experience) after this year and Armstead or Buckner may go pro.
2-3 year starters who are won't be back:
QB: Mariota
WR: Keanon Lowe (probably the easiest to replace)
LT: Jake Fisher
LG: Hamani Stevens
C: Grasu (4 year starter)
DE: Tony Washington
DT: Armstead or Buckner? (My guess is that one goes early)
LB: Derrick Malone
CB: Olomu
CB: Troy Hill (top back-up Dior Mathis is also gone)
S: Erick Dargan
So IMHO, it's next year when Helfrich is in his 3rd season as HC and has to replace very experienced and talented players who were recruited when Chip Kelly was head coach.
But I'm probably telling most of you fucks something you already know since even most retards understand you can't really judge a coach at least until his 3rd season (obligatory Gilby, Walt Harris, and Willingham say hi posts).
Still in play. Helfrich looks good now. But still
One thing in Helfrich favor is a lot of the roster has turned over unlike Coker.
But Mariota
Is there another system QB in the wings?
