The state of Texas may have poached a large chunk of the Oregon’s defensive staff this past month, but the Ducks responded by hiring the associate Athletic Director for football from Texas A&M, Marshall Malchow, to be their new football chief of staff – according to a report from Yahoo! sports reporter Pete Thamel.
Malchow also has experience working at Georgia, where new head coach Dan Lanning came from, as well as the University of Washington, Oregon’s rival to the north.
It’s been a hectic month of turnover for the Ducks football program, who lost their head coach to Miami, their offensive coordinator to Akron, and their defensive coordinator to Texas Tech between their loss to Utah in the Pac-12 Championship and their upcoming Alamo Bowl appearance on December 29.
Multiple other coordinators have jumped ship as well, although the Ducks worked quickly to snag Lanning from Georgia and he’s already working hard on putting a staff together – hiring FSU’s Kenny Dillingham as offensive coordinator and retaining multiple other coaches, including Don Johnson Jr.
Getting a new chief of staff for the football program is another step in the right direction as Lanning, Malchow, and AD Rob Mullens work to get this program headed in the right direction following a season that fell apart after beginning with such promise.
