Ranking the Oregon Ducks defensive coordinators from the last decade
By Sam Fariss
In his only season with the Ducks, the only consistency that Brady Hoke's defense could find was in losing.
Oregon finished the 2016 season with a 4-8 overall record and an abysmal 2-7 record in Pac-12 play.
The Ducks allowed Nebraska, Colorado, Washington State, Washington, Cal, USC, and Stanford to score 35 points or more. They allowed their in-state rivals Oregon State to score 34 points on them.
In Oregon's loss to the Huskies, at Autzen Stadium, Washington tore apart the Ducks' defense, scoring 70 points and collecting 682 total yards.
Hoke's defense was in shambles by the end of the season and his job in Eugene was finished. After just one year with the Ducks, Hoke's time as their defensive coordinator was over.
