Live updates: Oregon Ducks vs. UCLA Bruins

Oregon has gone within the Pac-12 Conference to find its next running backs coach.

Jim Mastro will join Mario Cristobal's staff after spending the past six seasons at Washington State, a source confirmed to The Oregonian/OregonLive.

According to Sports Illustrated, Mastro will have a three-year contract and had made his decision earlier this week, but delayed his move out of respect for the mourning following the death of WSU quarterback Tyler Hilinski.

Mastro had cleaned out his office at WSU earlier this week, according to the Seattle Times.

Cougars running back James Williams, who was recruited to WSU by Mastro, tweeted his support for the move Saturday morning.
