Coaching History
Oregon has had 31 head coaches since its founding in 1894. The Ducks have played in more than 1,100 games in 113 seasons. In those seasons, seven different coaches have led Oregon to bowl games: Hugo Bezdek, Shy Huntington, Jim Aiken, Len Casanova, Rich Brooks, Mike Bellotti and Chip Kelly. Conference championships have been won by Huntington, Prink Callison, Jim Aiken, Casanova, Brooks, Bellotti and Kelly. Casanova is the all-time leader in games coached; Mike Bellotti holds the record for most victories, while Chip Kelly is the leader in win percentage for coaches with more than one season of service.
Of the 31 Oregon head coaches, two, Hugo Bezdek and Len Casanova, are in the College Football Hall of Fame as coaches. John McEwan and Clarence Spears are also in the Hall of Fame, but as players at Army and Dartmouth. Brooks and Kelly have each received National Coach of the Year honors from at least one organization. Oregon's current head coach is Chip Kelly, who was promoted to head coach in 2009 following Mike Bellotti's retirement.
