Oregon to hire Bryan McClendon as WR coach

RatherBeBrewing

Was at USC East as their WR coach, after getting demoted from OC. They wanted to lose him and his $1 million salary before Muschamp gets fired and they owe him a buyout as well. Previously at Georgia under Saint Richt as RB/WR coach, associate head coach, interim coach, recruiting coordinator.

2014 national recruiter of the year. Primary recruiter for five 5-stars, including Todd Gurley, Sony Michelle, and Nick Chubb. Huge upgrade for Cristobal's staff.

The rivalry is over.

All hail the once and future kings of the northwest.

Quack!

If he coached under Richt then he is used to squandering great talent

He's from the Richt tree, another Miami tie. Cristobal is really setting it up nicely to have a staff with Miami connections when he leaves for there.

Sounds like just the guy to convince Dont’e Thornton Eugene is the place for him and the pop off then the real USC after the 2020 season.

That's ridiculous. Urban Meyer already has a preferred WR coach, and with that guy they will always have a puncher's chance.

Bryan McClendon, reported new Oregon Ducks WR coach, adds another elite recruiter to staff: Analysis

”How he fits

While Oregon has dramatically enhanced its recruiting prowess under Cristobal, the wide receiver position has remained a weak spot.

In program history the Ducks have signed just four top-100 prospects nationally at the wide receiver position - Cameron Colvin (No. 16 overall in 2004), Devon Blackmon (No. 39 in 2011), Bralon Addison (No. 86 in 2012) and Mycah Pittman (No. 94 in 2019) - and the recent history is littered with near-misses and decommitments.”

”Oregon, quite infamously, just missed on JuJu Smith-Schuster in the class of 2014, experienced five decommitments at wide receiver in 2018 - Warren Thompson, Tre’Shaun Harrison, Braden Lenzy, Miles Battle and Devin Culp, swung big and missed on several top targets in the 2019 recruiting cycle and lost four-star wide receiver Johnny Wilson to Arizona State on the first day of the early signing period for the class of 2020.

Franky, the on-field performance has lay bare those recruiting woes.

Over the past 25 years the Ducks have produced a handful of quality college receivers - Keenan Howry, Samie Parker, Demetrius Williams, Jeff Maehl, Bralon Addison, Josh Huff and Dillon Mitchell - but none was a bonafide superstar or elite NFL prospect.”

Oregon’s weakest position and South Carolina was stacked at wr the last few years (deebo, Edwards, shi smith)
