(Eugene, OR) -- The University of Oregon is making "a change in leadership" for its football program. Mark Helfrich is out as head coach of the Ducks after four seasons. Oregon athletics director Rob Mullens says a search firm will be retained to look for a new head coach beyond Oregon's current staff. Helfrich's record this season was 4-and-8, only two seasons after the Ducks won a school-record 13 games and appeared in the first College Football Playoff National Championship.
