The Oregon Ducks made yet another coaching hire on Thursday afternoon, this time bringing in one of the veteran-most voices that the program now has.
It was reported that Dan Lanning and the Ducks hired former Arizona State offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh to come onto the staff as an assistant OL coach and offensive analyst. Cavanaugh will work closely with A’lique Terry, who was hired by Oregon earlier this month to replace Adrian Klemm.
Cavanaugh immediately becomes one of the most well-established coaches on Oregon’s staff, with decades of experience in the college game and a long track record of sending college players off to the NFL.
After the hire was reported on Thursday, I did a deep dive into Cavanaugh to find out who exactly the Ducks were adding to the coaching staff. What I found did not disappoint.
