Official: Raymond Woodie named ST/OLB coach

Andy McNamara is teasing some football news on Twitter while Justin posted that it's the final member of the staff, former USF coach Raymond Woodie. Woodie was ST coach at USF, in addition to being DC last season. Edit: It was confirmed by McNamara on Duck Insider that Raymond Woodie will be the new ST coach. Have to imagine that the QB coaching duties will be handled by Taggart and Gilbertson, as has been rumored for some time now.

Official press release from Oregon:

He along with Sharrod Everett - the new Associate Athletic Director for Football Operations are very vocal men of religion, though I am not a religious man myself I think it is great to have men like these to mentor these young men through their college football careers. Another great addition to the team by Coach T.

Another great thing that's been pointed out about Woodie is that his son is a 2019 recruit that's gotten some P5 offers already. Have to think Oregon could be a likely landing spot for him now.

Have to wonder if he ends up playing for a Eugene HS next year.

This is a good hire.

Sure, Woodie doesn't have a ton of ST coordinating experience, but he'll be able to help coach defensively too I'm sure, and he's a great recruiter.

It sounds like Willie Taggart has been checking out local high schools for his son. Wouldn't be surprised to see him and Woodie's son end up at Sheldon HS since that is the top school in the area. Only other Eugene area school that's somewhat decent is Churchill HS but that's on the SW side of Eugene and likely not where Taggart and Woodie will be living.

Interesting. he has weird mechanics but seems to have a good arm and can move. I also like him as a safety.
