They give NOTHING to back it up..no source. And to say that at 2 colleges, one as OC/HC and another as OC...they heard that he didnt call plays? How can they think like that... And others who support Helfrich, post comments and links from other players or coaches who are quoted with solid facts on his ability to scheme, game plan, etc... I just shake my head with the sound bytes that posters use...and not a total synopsis. But i guess that's why we are fans...and not coaches...)) It is widely known (wait for it) FACT that Chip called plays when he was oregons Head coach. A article was posted yesterday that up till last season before he left for UCF scott frost had called the plays for Helfs first 3 years as head coach. No one really knows who called the plays for oregon this past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,689 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 What does everyone think about Sterlin Gilbert? seems to be the 3 most in play now is Helf, Spav and Sterlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once decent season (2013) at East Illinois, followed by, literally, a different school each year, none with a good season. I honestly don't even know why he would be considered.

Ok, I'll bite. Even though he was JUST named days ago to be Charlie Strong's OC at SF. So why would he be in the mix for us now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Trying to find a guy with one good season probably playing someone else's recruits.....and looking to move along before he has to actually do any serious recruiting?

Yeah, I keep thinking that the original "Lashlee is out at the end of the year" rumors, months ago, were accompanied by the "Briles is in" rumors. Based on that, I was fully expecting one of the Briles to be our next OC. That door seems to have been closed, now. Worst case scenario is that the plan all along was to get Briles, and the plan got shot down at the last second by someone in compliance or a power broker, leaving us with no plan at all. You know that Gus has known about Rhett leaving for quite some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot more factors involved in that game than just a QB injury. Do believe the center went out as well. You could tell the TCU team got life once the QB went down though.

Total speculation here, but what if you bring in a guy like Helfrich who may get another head-coaching job after one season while giving Kendall Briles another season away from dad to prove himself? Then you bring KB in. Also gives another year for all of the fallout from Baylor to be fully known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that is possible but if you read the piece on him at Oregon, seems he will not high on anyone's HC list for a while. Was generally described as an intellectual and not a guy to exhibit much in the way of emotional leadership. Certainly not good characteristics for a HC...as for being the OC....seems he was recognized by a lot of people and organizations for his accomplishments despite efforts by some people to make him seem like Kelly's puppet. Guess I'm still looking for some continuity and maybe a little maturity to guide Stidham and SW and Woody..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should hire the best guy no matter who it offends or who or how it looks. If Auburn is looking for the perfect man, I hate it noboby is perfect and mistakes can be learned from.
