04:47 PM ET 11.27 | If (when?) Chip Kelly leaves Oregon for the NFL, the next Ducks coach might already be picked out. Offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich reportedly has the approval of powerful megabooster Phil Knight -- a surprise to some, who'd thought Boise State's Chris Petersen would be a top candidate. Petersen is a former Ducks coach as well, and his travels have often brought him through Oregon anyway.

Chip has been grooming MH for four years, he's the obvious choice if PK wants to see this new tradition of winning continue.

Very safe: knows the system, Knight-approved. But if they could get Peterson they should get Peterson.

Peterson would be a great coach to acquire, but personally I would rather have someone that knows how CK runs the show top to bottom. And IMO Chip really wanted Helfy as HCIW to continue what he started there.

If Chip wants him to be the next coach, he better make a decision. Mack Brown at Texas was grooming Muschamp to take over. Muschamp waited and Brown never left... so he did.

Papa your team had some close calls just like my Irish. Its a damn shame the only two undefeated teams left standing cant face off in the NC game.
Now follow the dang rules and maybe next time you can come out and play.

Yeah, but unfortunately for the Trogans, you'll still have the same coach.

Note to Chip Kelly:
Stay in school, sir. Your schemes will not work in the League. For verification, please contact Steve Spurrier or Nick Saban.
