The University of Oregon fired head football coach Mark Helfrich on Tuesday after four seasons. It marked the first time in 40 years, the Oregon Ducks have fired their head coach.

Helfrich finished with a record of 37-16 over four seasons but the Ducks went 4-8 this season, less than two years after reaching the national championship game.

Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens met with the Oregon football team after relieving Helfrich of his duties Tuesday night.

In the video above, Oregon freshman linebacker Troy Dye talks about his relationship with Helfrich, discusses his firing and shares his reaction to the news.
