Oregon Football has hired Marcus Arroyo from Oklahoma State, another big piece of the Taggart Coaching Puzzle.

Willie Taggart has shown he is not afraid to go after the best. If there was one Coach that Mike Gundy could not afford to lose, it was Running Backs Coach Marcus Arroyo. According to Bruce Feldman, Arroyo is leaving Cowboys to become more of an Offensive Force for the Oregon Football team.

Marcus Arroyo is another hand picked Assistant Coach from Taggart. He  meets some pretty good qualifications. Arroyo has Pac-12 experience, as well as National Football League experience. He spent time with the California Golden Bears in 2011-12 and  was Quarterbacks Coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014. He has spent the last two seasons with Oklahoma State and will now have three positions under his care with Oregon.

Arroyo will be named Quarterbacks Coach, Passing Game Coordinator and Co-Assistant Coach for Oregon Football. It is likely both Arroyo and Mario Cristobal will share play calling duties with input from Taggart.
