To put some balance to the line in the article, "...after the Alamo Bowl collapse..." referencing the demotion of Pellum; hiring of Hoke and putting that blame on the defense...

Because we now know Helfrich does not actually "coach" during games(like letting the players on the field decide whether to go for 1 or 2 points), a key part of "the collapse" was the inability of the center and quarterback to handle the snap and thus generate any CONSISTENT OFFENSE. The fact both the center and quarterback were second string had no impact on Helfrich's coaching skills or lack thereof. It was beyond the obvious there was no "Plan B" i.e. move the quarterback under center. Why? I am guessing because Oregon does not practice the center snap in that formation. Which means no "Plan B" which then means bad coaching.

You can write these articles anyway you desire but THE PROBLEM is THE HEAD COACH.
