Oregon's 62-20 loss to Utah on Saturday has prompted many people to question Oregon's coaching staff and how it runs the team. While many believe that Oregon needs to do something to get the team on track, head coach Mark Helfrich believes that changes are not necessary right now.

"There are not wholesale changes necessary and we're not going to go away from what we do," Helfrich said Sunday. "I told the team last night I believe in every single one of those guys, I believe in every single one of those coaches and if you're in this sport long enough, last night happens."

Helfrich reiterated that losses happen and its how you react to those losses that matters.

"It's going to happen. How we react to that is under our control. We make constant changes."

As for the moral of his players, Helfrich said he expects the team to bounce back quickly.

"They'll bounce back from this, we will survive and we will be fine," Helfrich said. "There's always that overreaction to both positive and negative this time of year and you can choose to look at it however you wish. We lost to the No. 2 team in the country (Michigan State) and the No. 10 team in the country (Utah) right now and didn't play well enough in either game."
