EUGENE, Ore. -- Former Michigan head coach Brady Hoke will be Oregon's new defensive coordinator, Ducks' head coach Mark Helfrich announced Saturday.
Hoke, the Big Ten and Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year in 2011, compiled a 31-20 mark in four seasons with the Wolverines from 2011 to 2014, including a victory in the 2012 Sugar Bowl. Michigan twice ranked among the top 20 teams in scoring defense nationally and ranked 17th or better in total defense in three of his four years in Ann Arbor.
"We are extremely excited to welcome Coach Hoke to the Oregon family," Helfrich said.
