Per ESPN Dead Money (espn.com) Whoops, Rob Mullens made the top ten list, not the list you want to be on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 3 Share Posted November 5, 2021 The article is in error, as Mike Bellotti was not fired as he went on to become Athletic Director, and then retired. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckHeart No. 4 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Oregon paid Helfrich $8 million in a lump sum settlement. I presume, but can’t verify, that the payment was funded by donors. As stated above, Oregon didn’t pay Bellotti to go away. He was a Duck out of water as AD and retired with a humongous PERS annuity. Bellotti may be the best football head coach ever at Oregon.
