EUGENE, Ore. – Willie Taggart completed his coaching staff on Wednesday morning with the hiring of Michael Johnson as the Ducks' wide receivers coach.
Johnson arrives at Oregon with 10 seasons of experience coaching in the NFL, and has served as an offensive coordinator at both the college and professional ranks. Most recently, Johnson was the head coach at The King's Academy in Sunnyvale, Calif. He coached there for three seasons after spending two as a player personnel director at North East Sports Consultants.
Johnson was given the keys to the San Francisco 49ers offense in 2010 as offensive coordinator after working as quarterbacks coach in 2009, guiding the team to more than 103.
