Oregon Ducks hire Ross Douglas as new WR coach

The Oregon Ducks have officially hired Ross Douglas as their new wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator, replacing Junior Adams, who moved to the Dallas Cowboys. Douglas, who previously coached at Syracuse, was instrumental in transforming their passing offense from 116th in the nation to first, helping quarterback Kyle McCord achieve record-breaking yardage. Oregon coach Dan Lanning expressed enthusiasm about Douglas’s experience and ability to connect with players, emphasizing his potential to enhance the Ducks' passing game. Douglas, at 30 years old, has also spent time on the coaching staff of the New England Patriots, where he developed his skills at both the college and professional levels. The Ducks aim to build on their recent success and challenge for titles with Douglas leading a talented group of wide receivers. This strategic hire reflects Lanning's commitment to strengthening the team's offensive capabilities for the upcoming season.
