Oregon head football coach Willie Taggart has continued his trend of hiring outside the previous Oregon administration.
In his latest move, Taggart has hired Irele Oderinde as a new strength and conditioning coach for the football team. Jim Radcliffe, who has been with the Ducks for 32 years, will remain a strength and conditioning coach for all the Oregon athletic programs.
Oderinde has worked alongside Taggart in the past. He was South Florida’s director of athletic performance during Taggart’s tenure and a strength and conditioning coach at Western Kentucky, Notre Dame, South Carolina and West Virginia before. Prior to becoming a strength coach, Oderinde was a defensive lineman on Western Kentucky’s 2002 FCS National Championship team, whose co-offensive coordinator was Taggart.
