Autzen Stadium is open, and Oregon needs a new lead duck. It's time for Chip Kelly to fly home.

Kelly made a name in coaching as the head coach of the Ducks from 2009 to 2012, and he has the chance to make Oregon great again after the program dismissed head coach Mark Helfrich on Tuesday night.

Helfrich was 37-16 in four years at Oregon and made an appearance in the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship following the 2014 season. But a 9-4 record last year preceded a 4-8 mark this year that culminated in the program's first loss to Oregon State since 2007.
