Oregon Football is looking to be a recruiting monster under Willie Taggart who is considering a Florida Connection from the Alabama Coaching Staff.

Oregon Head Coach Willie Taggart has put together a good part of his Defensive staff. On Wednesday the focus shifted to Offense and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Mario Cristobal is preparing for a National Championship next week.

According to FootballScoop, Taggart has offered the Offensive Line Coach position to Cristobal who has several decisions to make in the coming weeks.

Oregon Football returns four redshirt Freshman players on the O-Line who all saw time on the field last season, which should have any incoming coach salivating. Cristobal may also be mulling an extension(and a bigger paycheck) from Alabama. He has a card he can play with some leverage with the Taggart offer. It appears that any decision on his future will be made after the National Championship later this week.

Mario Cristobal has experience on the Offensive side of the ball. He was Head Coach at Florida International from 2007-12. His team saw two bowl appearances in his five seasons. He is also considered a top-notch recruiter, which seems to be a recurring theme in every Assistant Willie Taggart has hired for Oregon Football.
