Gary. I'm agreeing with you more and more.  Combining your comments with those of "DucksInARow" sheds new light on much of what may have happened to Oregon Football in the past two years.  I didn't appreciate until now the likelihood that Mr. Helfrich substituted a quest for short term gain for TEAM integrity.  Seems that the latter orientation usually wins out in the end.  I wonder if those who were criticized for Helfrich's "abrupt" firing may not have correctly appreciated this formula which, by the way, seems far more appropriate for healthy college sports.  We will see.  In the meantime, I too am heartened by Coach Taggart's apparent ability (so far) to adhere to principles of disciplined civil behavior over raw talent.
