04:50 PM ET 01.03 | Chip Kelly has become the hottest name in football coaching, with multiple NFL teams reportedly seeking his talents. But the Ducks won't be left high and dry if he does take his prolific attack to the pros, with longtime assistant Mark Helfrich expected to take over at Oregon.

I thought Peterson was the inside favorite if/when Kelly leaves?

I still believe its Kelly's offense. Hope Mark was paying attention.

Mark was basically QB coach the last 4 yrs., and I think did a good job. But I agree, hopefully he was taking alot of notes.

I've heard CK didn't go to Tampa last spring because the admin. wasn't backing Helfrich and Chip's been grooming him to take over. Now PK is backing Mark and Chips out..over..

They should have at least been given a chance to play that other undefeated team to determine the true national champ.

Would be more than ok with me if he wasn't.

As much as I admire tOSU's accomplishments in 2012, I do not believe the Sports Hacks will place them atop of their final poll.

If as the report indicates Kelly departs for the pros and Helf gets the nod as Oregon's HC, Petersen should happily remain in Boise.
