Last season Oregon Football went into Spring Practice with some problems. Leadership was a big concern. Specifically, Senior Leadership to show how things needed to be done. Head Coach Mark Helfrich was left on Media Day making this point and the result ended in a 4-8 season and Helfrich being fired at seasons end.
The Oregon Ducks brought in some new energy with Willie Taggart, who brought with him a hand picked coaching staff to lead Oregon to Success. The conversation we had with Mark Helfrich as Fall Camp began last year and the conversation we had with Taggart before Spring Camp opened have some similarities, but also some big differences.
