This is a song and dance that Oregon Duck fans know all too well at this point.
On Saturday afternoon, less than an hour after the Ducks suffered an embarrassing collapse against the rival Oregon State Beavers and saw their regular season come to an end, it was reported that offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham would be leaving Eugene to take over as the new head coach of the Arizona State Sun Devils. Dillingham will now be the first head coach in college history to be born in the 1990s.
With the departure, Oregon now has a coaching vacancy at the offensive coordinator spot. This is not something new to Duck fans, as the OC and DC roles have been virtually a revolving door over the past decade, with several guys moving on to take better, higher-paying jobs elsewhere. It’s a good problem to have because it means that the team is finding success on the field.
However, it leaves us wondering who is going to be the next man to be calling plays in Eugene.
The search is still in very early stages, of course, but we cobbled together a few names that might be of some interest to either be promoted or hired, at Oregon. Take a look.
