Arroyo's out, good thing Right? https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/g...didates-for-oregon-offensive-coordinator.html
I wasnt extremely impressed with him, but hopefully it doesnt hurt recruiting and whoever they bring in is better.
I don't think it's good unless MC hires a really good OC; he did replace Jim Leavitt with Avalos so possibly he can repeat that win with the OC but the timing is really bad. It comes a week before the 1st national signing day, and at the very least, it may keep some recruits from signing early that were planning too. It also means that Oregon has no OC to prepare for the Rose Bowl, and that's a significant disadvantage. Wisconsin has an excellent defense and the Ducks will need their offense at it's best. Very unlikely with that big a change in command but the worst news would be if Arroyo took some other assistants with him. There are already rumors that at least one of the DB coaches may go. Mainly that Arroyo might name Keith Heyward as his DC (Heyward is the Assistant Head Coach/Co-Defensive Coordinator/Safeties). And that Heyward might take Donte Wilson with him. That would be devastating in terms of recruiting. The Ducks have already seen Avante Williams, the #1 safety de-commit (although that was a long time coming...he has two children in Florida). There are rumors that Oregon commit, safety Myles Slusher is already wavering in his commitment...Hayward leaving would likely make that happen and then there is the situation with several targets: 5-star LB Justin Flowe seems to be a real possibility. He's the 4th rated recruit in the nation, but really likes the Ducks; Donte Wilson is his primary recruiter. 5-star CB Kelee Ringo, the #8 recruit in the country, reportedly has Oregon in his top-2, and Dontre Wilson is his primary recruiter. And, 4-star CB Dontae Manning (#76) is rumored to be close to committing. Again, Wilson is his primary. There have been lots of rumors that the ducks had a shot at signing all three, but any change in the coaches would probably blow that chance out of the water in other words, the short term impact of Arroyo leaving could be really bad....or not bad at all. Won't know that for the next 2 months. The long-term impact depends on the replacement
