Oregon Football: Ducks Hire Jim Mastro As Running Backs Coach

Oregon Football and Mario Cristobal are putting the finishing touches on their coaching staff. On Sunday, the Ducks announced the hiring of Running Backs Coach Jim Mastro. The former Washington State Coach brings with him six seasons of experience with the Cougars. Under Head Coach Mike Leach, WSU has always been a passing primary team, but the Run Game in College Football is still important.

The Washington State Backfield combined for over 1000 yards on the ground and through the air in 2017, for the second straight season. Mastro also worked at UCLA in the Pac-12. He made his bread and butter with Nevada before entering the Pac-12.
