Hard to complain about something he didn’t do. Helf didn’t call games at Oregon. Chip didn’t trust him enough to give up playcalling duties and Frost and Lubick called plays after that.pezsez1 wrote:I mean, he did take a team to the NCG whether it was his recruits or not, so yeah, he can coach. Nobody ever complained about his game-planning or game-calling abilities. He just couldn't recruit and it sounds like he couldn't control the locker room over time. Phalanx just said he'd be a good interim coach if the need arose, and there's really no reason to disagree with that.Has Helf ever succeeded without Chip Kelly? The NCG was with Chip’s system/playbook and Chip’s recruits. Before Chi he didn’t do much and after Chip he didn’t do much.
Helf is a really good dude, an outstanding QB coach, and by all accounts, very intelligent, however, let’s not build him up into something he is not.
