Report: Oregon to hire Darren Uscher back from UCLA in personnel and recruiting role

The Oregon Ducks are reportedly hiring former UCLA general manager Darren Uscher, who left Eugene earlier this year to join the Bruins.

College sports are starting to look more and more like professional sports every year.

Just a month ago, Darren Uscher left Oregon to become the general manager of the UCLA football program.

He’s back.

According to 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Uscher is returning to Eugene as a member of the personnel and recruiting department after a lot of change for the Bruins over the last 30 days. Former head coach Chip Kelly recently announced that he was leaving to become the new offensive coordinator for the Ohio State Buckeyes, leaving UCLA to hire DeShaun Foster as the new coach.

Uscher decided the grass was greener in Eugene.

Ever since Dan Lanning took over the Duck program, building a front office has been a priority and so far, no one can argue with the results on and off the field. With Marshall Malchow leading things as the Chief of Staff, the off-field produce is just as strong as the on-field produce for Oregon, and adding Uscher back to the mix doesn’t change that.

Report: UCLA to hire Oregon’s Darren Uscher as new general manager

The UCLA Bruins are expected to hire Oregon’s Darren Uscher as their next general manager, per a report.

One of the members of the Oregon Ducks’ front office is reportedly being hired away by another team, according to a report from 247Sports’ Matt Zentitz.

Darren Uscher, who joined Oregon’s staff a year ago, will reportedly take over as the general manager for the UCLA Bruins, working with former Oregon head coach Chip Kelly.

Uscher has worked with many schools, most recently serving as the Director of Recruiting & Player Personnel for both Boise State and Auburn.

Even since Dan Lanning took over in Eugene, we saw more of a focus placed on the front-office side of things in the football program, led by Chief of Staff Marshall Malchow, who was previously at Texas A&M.
