At long last, on Saturday afternoon we got to talk to Oregon Ducks offensive coordinator Will Stein for the first time since he took the job in December, filling the void left by Kenny Dillingham after he left for Arizona State.
Obviously, there was a lot to talk about.
Since coming over from the University of Texas San Antonio, Oregon’s offense has had an impressive offseason under Stein. He kicked off his tenure in Eugene by flipping 4-star QB recruit Austin Novosad from Baylor to the Ducks, and he also helped lead the charge to bring Bo Nix back to Oregon for one more year, while playing a hand in landed a handful of offensive transfers as well.
There are a lot of questions going forward for Stein and the Oregon offense. After seeing such marked improvement under Dillingham a year ago, there are high expectations for year one with a new coordinator.
A lot of questions were asked on Saturday. Here are some of the most notable quotes from Stein in his first presser with Oregon media members.
