Oregon leads nation when it comes to assistant coach tenures
Running backs coach Gary Campbell, on the Ducks' staff since 1983, is one of five Oregon assistants entering at least their 10th season at the school, joining Don Pellum (1993), Steve Greenwood (2000), John Neal (2003) and Tom Osborne (2007).Oregon is the most successful Pac-10/12 team since 2007. So it might just be meaningful that five of its nine assistant coaches have been in Eugene since the Ducks' golden decade began.
No FBS team can match that longevity, and it's even more notable that it's lasted through four head coaches, with loyalty flowing both ways through Rich Brooks, Mike Bellotti, Chip Kelly, and now Mark Helfrich.
