Oregon begins a new era under Willie Taggart (6/20/17)
Addicted to Quack's Matt Takimoto joins the show to talk Oregon Football, and their first season with Head Coach Willie Taggart. Matt explains what went wrong the past two seasons, how issues on the field, in recruiting, and with the program's culture snowballed (4:59), and how Taggart will look to fix them (8:05). Schematically, Taggart brings a unique style to Eugene, and we talked about RB Royce Freeman standing to benefit big time, and UO finally having stability at QB with Justin Herbert (10:46). The Ducks made a huge hire this offseason in defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt, and I ask Matt whether Leavitt can coax decent play from his new group, and if they'll have a similar mentality to Chip Kelly's UO defenses (16:17). Lastly, we discussed where Oregon stands in the Pac 12 North, their secretly nasty rivalry with Washington, and expectations for 2017 (21:26).
