Mark Helfrich for OC?

[NosniknoT]

Helfrich's offense would not be "jacked up" enough

Yeah I know he stunk it up with Mitchell Trubinsky in Chicago but would anyone take him as an OC? Pretty good offensive mind who may have to spend 2-3 more years rehabbing his image again.

He was just let go by Chicago.

No

Ryan Day calls plays for Ohio State. So that is true. Oregon is probably out of it as well just becausehe wouldn’t go back. I would guess Washington. Can we outbid? Probably not

Warshington doesn’t pay big for assistants. And Jimmy Lake will probably lean on Peterson for advice on an OC. I’d expect some dude with ties to Boise/Peterson.

He didn’t even call plays with the bears, it was just in title so I’m not holding that against him.

Did call plays under chip Kelly either.

I think Helfrich creates a buzz for what its worth.

So did Penos.

Haha - better than what we have after this year isn't difficult.

In that offense though, he should be putting up better numbers.

I’d rather have Wake’s backup. That dude has some juice.

Get the right position coaches around him and it could work.
I dont understand why manny wants more position coaches on defense than on offense when its age in this age offense is more important.

I agree with that 100....the offense needs all hands on deck...probably needs a OC and a CO OC as well

I'm skeptical. Oregon fell off badly after Mariota and Scott Frost left. Part of that is on their defense, but still.

They went to the title game with Helfrich as OC and Darron Thomas at QB in 2010.

Just gives you more flexibility. You actually hie a deficated QB coach. Hire a more experienced OC that can just concentrate on X and O since we wont have a position group. Get one more good recruiter on offense. **** have two offensive line coaches of thats whats best. Just makes more sense than on defense. Offense is more important.

Chip Kelly called the plays. Plus Helfrich changed the offense significantly as HC.

Let him run wild with our speed here

Just what speed are you talking about? After watching all of these bowl games we look like a very slow team overall.

 

[TruCane81]

Richts fault for letting him off campus without making him part of the staff

@Dude

 

[Praxium]

Absolutely not.

Never called a play with the Bears never called a Play for Oregon (other than garbage time when Kelly was HC). Once he became HC at Oregon Scott Frost called all the plays.

The last time he was an actual offensive coordinator was with Colorado from 06 to 08 and was pretty underwhelming.
