BUUUUUUUUD makes the case for Oregon hiring PJ Fleck away from Western Michigan. I've heard worse ideas.

Tough times in Eugene. Go Ducks!

SB Nation's Morgan Moriarty breaks down the how and the why behind Oregon's firing of Mark Helfrich. It breaks with 40 years of tradition, but let's face it the move was far from surprising.

As I write this Mark Helfrich is still the head coach of the Oregon Ducks. That could cease to be true as soon as, well, right now. Anyway, SB Nation's Alex Kirshner writes that even if he's fired, the road back to national prominence is long and twisted.

Sabrina Ionescu goes for 11 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists in a win over San Jose State.

H/T wiggity

Anonymous source says that Phil Knight is willing to pay $10 million/year for a head coach.

Oregon trails in the game but clearly Charles Nelson and the football need to see more of each other.
