Oregon RB Coach Ra'Shaad Samples Rejects Cowboys Offer

Ra'Shaad Samples, the running backs coach for the Oregon Ducks, turned down an opportunity to join the Dallas Cowboys, opting to remain with Oregon for another year. Samples, who shared his commitment on social media with a '#ScoDucks' post, is recognized for being a top recruiter and has played a crucial role in securing high-profile recruits for the Ducks, including 5-star WR Dakorien Moore. Meanwhile, Tashard Choice, the running backs coach for the Texas Longhorns, also spurned NFL interest to stay in Austin, reportedly securing a pay raise in the process. Choice has been instrumental in the Longhorns' offensive success, with the team averaging significant rushing yardage under his guidance. The Cowboys have since hired Derrick Foster as their new running backs coach. Both coaches' decisions highlight the competitive landscape of college football coaching and recruitment.
