Marcus Arroyo Passing Game Co & QB Coach

Was Cal's QB coach with Zach Maynard for 2011-12, so he's 0-2 against the Ducks. No hard feelings, clearly.

Re: Marcus Arroyo Passing Game Co & QB Coach
• Arroyo came to Oklahoma State after serving as interim offensive coordinator and playcaller for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the 2014-15 season. He originally went to Tampa Bay to coach quarterbacks, but after a health procedure sidelined Bucs offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford, Arroyo took on the playcalling duties.
• Under Arroyo’s watch, receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson both eclipsed the 1,000-yard plateau in 2014-15, marking the first time in Buccaneers history that two receivers surpassed 1,000 yards in the same season. Evans set franchise rookie records with 68 receptions, 1,051 yards and 12 touchdowns and was one of five finalists for NFL Rookie of the Year accolades. He was second among all rookies in receiving yards and was fourth in receptions.
• Arroyo came to Tampa Bay following one season (2013) as the offensive coordinator and outside receivers coach at Southern Mississippi, where his primary duties included creating the offensive game plans and play calling. Operating in Arroyo’s offense, true freshman quarterback Nick Mullens earned a spot on the Conference USA all-freshman team.
• Prior to joining the Southern Mississippi coaching staff, Arroyo spent two years (2011-2012) at the University of California as the passing game coordinator and playcaller.
• Under Arroyo’s guidance, Cal quarterback Zach Maynard worked himself into the No. 10 spot on the career list at the school in both passing yards (5,204) and total offense (5,350) in only two seasons. His 128.36 career passer efficiency rating is eighth on the school’s all-time list.
• Cal had a much improved offense in 2011 during Arroyo’s first-year of working with the team’s quarterbacks, especially in the passing game where the Golden Bears jumped from No. 94 in the country in 2010 (175.08 ypg) to No. 46 in the country in 2011 (246.62 ypg).
• Cal also rose from No. 90 nationally (334.00 ypg) to No. 44 nationally (401.46 ypg) in total offense in his first season. In addition, Cal moved up 20 spots to No. 53 nationally in scoring, improving from 25.8 points per game the previous season to 28.3.
• Before coaching at California, Arroyo served for two seasons at Wyoming as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach during the 2009 and 2010 campaigns. He helped develop 2009 true freshman quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels into the Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year and the Offensive MVP of the 2009 New Mexico Bowl. Carta-Samuels completed 59.7 percent of his passes in two campaigns under Arroyo’s guidance.
• Arroyo made a significant impact in his first season at Wyoming in 2009 when he installed a new spread offense that helped the Cowboys score 30 or more points five times, winning all five of those games. Arroyo’s offense displayed an ability to come from behind in his first season, recording five fourth-quarter comebacks. His offensive unit also did an outstanding job of protecting the ball. Wyoming ranked No. 7 in the nation in fewest turnovers lost (14) and was No. 15 nationally in both fewest fumbles lost (7) and fewest interceptions thrown (7).
• When Wyoming captured the 2009 New Mexico Bowl title, it marked the second time in four seasons that Arroyo was part of a New Mexico Bowl winning team. His other victory in the game came in 2006 while he was coaching at San Jose State.
• Prior to his stint at Wyoming, Arroyo was the co-offensive coordinator for two seasons and quarterbacks coach for three campaigns at his alma mater, San Jose State. He was the quarterbacks coach and play-caller for the Spartans in 2006, before being promoted to co-offensive coordinator for his final two seasons in 2007 and 2008 under head coach Dick Tomey. In 2006, he directed SJSU to five fourth-quarter comeback victories.
• From 2006-07, Arroyo tutored the Spartans’ all-time leading passer and total offense leader Adam Tafralis, who set school records for career passing yards (7,548) and total offense (8,111). Tafralis went on to sign a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts in the spring of 2008. He also played three seasons (2008-10) with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League, and spent time on the rosters of both the United Football League’s Sacramento Mountain Lions (2011) and the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts (2012) before his retirement from football.

Huh, per SB nation he's going to be TE coach as well. Seems like a big load.

Re: Marcus Arroyo Passing Game Co & QB Coach
I think he'll be the Co-OC/PGC/QB coach. Craig will take WRs. TEs will probably be coached by Gilbertson until they can either officially hire him or a TE coach.Hoagduck wrote:Huh, per SB nation he's going to be TE coach as well. Seems like a big load.

Could be indicative of how Taggert wants to use the TE's in the offense.Hoagduck wrote:Huh, per SB nation he's going to be TE coach as well. Seems like a big load.

Re: Marcus Arroyo Passing Game Co & QB Coach
I got to say, I questioned hiring WT the first couple days, but I love how he hires. If he can coach as well as he hires and recruits, he'll be very successful at UO.Ducks10 wrote:Lol we're going to replace JD and Reaves with superior coaches and recruiters.

Re: Marcus Arroyo Passing Game Co & QB Coach
It'll be interesting to see what his official titles will be since they seem to depend on the source you're reading. Seems like he was a great asset to OSU so hopefully can be that way at Oregon.

It's almost like he's knocking coaches unconscious, taking provocative pictures, and blackmailing them to join.gogreen55 wrote:Willie T's ability to recruit other coaches is truly remarkable.
