Let’s finish up our Oregon football previews with a look this morning at the Ducks’ coaching staff and special teams.
It’s been a tumultuous few years for the Ducks. After Mark Helfrich was fired following a 4-8 campaign in 2016, the Ducks brought in South Florida head coach Willie Taggart as their new head coach. Taggart led the Ducks to a 7-5 record last year before he opted to return to the State of Florida to fill the vacancy left by Jimbo Fisher’s departure for Texas A&M.
With Taggart gone, the Ducks turned to Mario Cristobal as the team’s next head coach.
