Go win and all of a sudden youve got the FedEx Cup in y

EUGENE, Ore. --?Oregon?athletic officials are preparing for a coaching search even though they have not yet fired Mark Helfrich, USA Today Sports has reported.As of 1 a.m. ET Sunday, a decision on Helfrichs future with the program had not been reached, a source told ESPNs Brett McMurphy. Helfrich is scheduled to hold his end-of-season news conference on Sunday afternoon, with the team banquet to follow.After Oregon lost to rival Oregon State 34-24 earlier Saturday to complete their regular season at 4-8, Helfrich told reporters he intended to head out on the recruiting trail Sunday. The defeat capped the Ducks worst season since a 3-8 finish in 1991.Helfrich said after the game there were no plans to speak with athletic director Rob Mullens. Asked if he believed his job was safe, Helfrich said he doesnt make that determination.Nobodys job is safe in college football, he said. Thats the nature of the beast. Im very proud of how our staff handled this year and how our players handled this year, but thats for someone else to decide.Speculation surrounding Helfrichs job security has been swirling over the past month, but Mullens has not yet come out to voice complete support for Helfrich.Asked to evaluate his coaching performance this season, Helfrich said, We didnt win enough games. Thats blunt. ... We have to own that part of it.Helfrich is 37-16 in his four years as head coach, but half of those losses came this season. He is only two years removed from a national title game appearance and a Heisman win by former Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota, but the 4-8 season came on the heels of two major changes he made in hiring offensive coordinator Matt Lubick and defensive coordinator Brady Hoke after demoting his previous defensive coordinator, Don Pellum.Off-the-field issues have continued to mount for Oregon. Helfrich recently dismissed defensive lineman Austin Maloata after a DUI arrest. Oregon had previously given indefinite suspensions to defensive linemen Eddie Heard and Torrodney Prevot. Last week, wide receiver Darren Carrington was involved in an off-field incident in which he was accused of assaulting a former student after the Ducks win over Arizona State.Through the speculation, Oregon players have voiced support for Helfrich.After Saturdays loss, offensive lineman Cam Hunt said, I think Helfrich is the guy.Defensive back Tyree Robinson added, Its not all on Helfrich. We respect Helfrich. At the end of the day, were going to play for him. But its more than just that -- its players. Its not just the coach. Frank Gore Youth Jersey . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. Steve Young Womens Jersey . Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half. Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Roger-Craig-Jersey/ .ca NBA Power Rankings, ahead of the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. Dante Pettis Youth Jersey . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. Mike McGlinchey Womens Jersey . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries. This weeks field at the BMW Championship is keeping an eye on two leaderboards -- the one for the tournament itself and the other that tracks the standings for the FedEx Cup playoffs.This the final week players can qualify for the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta. The top 30 on the FedEx Cup points list will move on, while the others will be eliminated from the playoffs.That means most of the field for this weeks tournament at Crooked Stick outside Indianapolis, will need to perform well just to have a shot to reach the Tour Championship and earn the opportunity to compete for the $10 million prize.Im just trying to take care of business and get the win, current FedEx Cup points leader Patrick Reed said. If you do that, that just takes care of everything else.There has traditionally been very little volatility in the standings at this point. Over the previous nine FedEx Cup playoffs, only 24 players have moved inside the top 30 -- at least two each year but never more than four.There is no cut at the 70-player BMW Championship and anyone who finishes third or better should gather enough points to qualify for the Tour Championship. Thats the approach taken by veteran Marc Leishman, who is trying to reach Atlanta for the first time since 2009.Its pretty much win or go home for me, said Leishman, who needs to finish among the top three to advance. It will be my last tournament of the year, so try and make it a really good one. If it is a really good one, Ill get to Atlanta. I really want to get to Atlantaa again.ddddddddddddThe poster child for the last-minute surge is Bill Horschel. In 2014, he entered the playoffs ranked No. 69, won two playoff events and walked away with the FedEx Cup.Everyone here this week can do what Billy Horschel did a couple of years ago, said Marc Leishman. Go win and all of a sudden youve got the FedEx Cup in your hands.Anyone already in the top 30 on the points list can keep their spot by finishing no worse than 30th. It gets exponentially more difficult the further a player stands down the points list. Even Olympic gold medalist Justin Rose needs to finish among the top three to advance.Defending BMW champion Jason Day doesnt have to worry reaching Atlanta. Hes second in the standings behind Reed, who won The Barclays two weeks ago. Dustin Johnson is No. 3 and Rory McIlroy, who won last weeks Deutsche-Bank Championship, is fourth.McIlroy won the BMW Championship when it was last held at Crooked Stick in 2012. Day won last years tournament at Conway Farms outside Chicago, so he has no historic advantage this week.Crooked Stick, designed by Pete Dye, has undergone several changes since it hosted the 2015 BMW Championship. Seven new bunkers were added along No. 7 and No. 10 and more than 90 bunkers were renovated. A lake was added along the left side of the 17th hole, adding to the potential for a dramatic finish with water hazards on the final three holes. ' ' '
