Oregon fires Helfrich. Another big job available.

[Pedro Cerrano]

What have you done for me lately.

Guy was in the national title game two years ago

[BSLMikeLowe]

They let him twist in the wind for two days. Pretty much had to happen, but they could have handled it sooner.

 

And yes, everyone here is ready to personally purchase Chip Kelly's one-way ticket from SFO to Eugene.

Thought he made progress there and he was recently given a new contract.

 

I wonder what else is going on there.

[Icterus galbula]

Mistreating players.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Heard something about mistreating players? But no idea if that has any weight to it.

 

EDIT: Beat to the punch...

[Mike B]

Based on the way the buy out was structured, I wonder if the there were concerns about him, before the new contract.

Report: Randy Edsall ‘very strong candidate’ for UConn job

Randy Edsall : Making UConn Great Again. 

[BSLZackKiesel]

Sounds like the Edsall to UConn deal is basically done. They're expecting to make the announcement later today.

Good luck to him.  Will be interesting to see if he can get UConn moving again. The AAC isn't a powerhouse obviously, but it is a conference with decent teams in both divisions. Huskies were 1-7 in league play this year.

[BSLMikeLowe]

It's official.

 

I'd say the AAC right now might be tougher, certainly deeper, than the Big East was when Edsall left.

I'm not sure how I missed this, but Minnesota fired Tracy Claeys Monday night. Apparently it was his support for the boycotting players that did him in, in particular a tweet he made. Definitely a tightrope in that situation, but I can see why Minnesota made the decision it did. The players themselves even reversed their stance on boycotting the Holiday Bowl once they had a chance to read the complaint filed by the woman who was allegedly assaulted. As one would expect, the players are not at all pleased by Claeys' firing.

 

That said, Minnesota seems like a nice landing spot for Les Miles, if he's ready to get back in the game.

Sounds like P.J. Fleck is their guy, close to a deal. Row the Gopher!

 

Update: 5-year deal for Fleck at Minnesota.

[BSLMikeLowe]

Cal is supposed to visit Oregon next season. That would be interesting.

Looks like they'll hire Wisconsin DC Justin Wilcox.
