Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens said Monday that he understands the frustration and appreciates the passion of Ducks fans who are calling for Mark Helfrichs job.I understand the frustration. I absolutely appreciate the passion, Mullens told Duck Insider. Were six games into the season and not where anyone wants to be. But theres still an opportunity to turn this a little bit and see some positive results. As I talk to Mark, they go right back to work and get right back in it.The Ducks have started the season 2-4 with three consecutive Pac-12 losses. The 70-21 loss to No. 5 Washington?on Saturday night was the second-worst margin of defeat in program history.But even with disappointing losses, it doesnt sound like Mullens is going to make any knee-jerk, midseason changes.When youre a coach in any sport, your results are very transparent, Mullens said. In football its 12 Saturdays. Its there for everybody to see. Theres a lot of other things that happen Monday through Friday, Sunday through Friday that youre also evaluating. Its just a continuous process of what can we do today to help support the coaches, support the student-athletes to meet these lofty expectations? And that will continue. And then there is a time when you look at it all and say, How did we perform?The Ducks started the 2015 season 3-3 before winning six consecutive games and ultimately dropping one in the Alamo Bowl.With Oregon on a bye this week, coaches have said theyre planning to return to the basics and get the team back on the same page, hoping that refocusing will spurn a run similar to that in the 2015 season. However, few of the Ducks remaining games seem like easy wins anymore, and they must go 4-2 in those final six games to ensure bowl eligibility this season.Everyone is disappointed. Im disappointed. The coaches are disappointed. The student-athletes are disappointed, Mullens said. Theres a lot of frustration. No one thought wed be 2-4 or expected to be 2-4 halfway through the season. ... Weve got to get back to work and figure out how to turn these results around. Air Force 1 Alte Graphic .

OMAHA, Neb.--?Michael Phelps?said he wanted his last competitive race on U.S. soil to be a victory.He did just that, and in dramatic fashion, on Saturday by rallying over the final lap to win the 100-meter butterfly at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials and qualify in the event for next months Rio de Janeiro Games.The 31-year-old Phelps, swimming in Lane 7 and against opponents with an average age of 23, will now get a chance to win his fourth straight gold in the 100 fly at Rio.Sitting in fourth heading into the final turn, Phelps pulled ahead in the final meters, touching the wall in 51.00. Tom Shields also qualified in the event, finishing second in 51.20.When Phelps saw the 1 beside his name, he pounded the water and pointed toward his family -- including 7-week-old son, Boomer -- up in the stands.Overall, he made it three-for-three in Olympic qualifying at the trials.Missy Franklin will get the chance to defend her 200-meter backstroke gold medal in Rio after finishing second on Saturday in the event final at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials.Joining Franklin is Maya Dirado, who won the final (2:06.90) after gaining a comfortable lead midway through the race.Franklin, who finished in 2:07.89, won gold and set the world record in the event four years ago in London. As a high schooler during those games, she took part in seven events, winning four golds and a bronze. She finished fifth in the 100 free in 2012 but wont be part of that race at all this time around.At age 21, Franklin hasnt been able to recapture the magic that carried her to such heights in London. Outside of a gutsy runner-up finish in the 200 freestyle, she finished sevennth in the 100 backstroke -- a race she won in 2012 -- and that knocks her out of consideration for the 4x100 medley relay.ddddddddddddOne of the things Ive been trying to do this whole year is not compare myself to where I was in 2012, Franklin said. I think coming in a lot of people thought that ... I would have to do the same thing I did in 2012, and thats not what I came here intending to do. I came in here to be the best of who I am right now, not who I was four years ago. So to get two individual spots and a relay spot, Im so happy with that.Katie Ledecky also added to her Rio itinerary by qualifying for the 800-meter freestyle.For 32-year-old Cullen Jones, a quarter-of-a-second brought potentially the end of a career.Jones finished third behind Nathan Adrian and Anthony Ervin in the 50-meter freestyle on Saturday night, ensuring that he wont be part of the team the U.S. will take to Rio in August.After the race, Jones was the last one out of the pool. He lifted himself onto the pool deck and responded to the cheering fans by raising his arms high above his head. He admitted the outcome was extra frustrating, as he had put everything he had into making the Rio team.And to do that and not get the outcome you were looking for his tough, Jones said, though he added that he does plan on watching both the 50- and 100-meter freestyle races in Rio on TV.?Its going to hurt like hell, but Ill be watching, he said. Wouldnt miss it.Information from ESPNs Wayne Drehs and the Associated Press was used in this report. ' ' '
