The Oregon Ducks, currently struggling with a 4-3 record this season, have made significant changes to their coaching staff, including the firing of offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer. Assistant quarterbacks coach Jay Johnson is set to take over. Head coach Dan Lanning confirmed that the team is also seeking external insights to address both on-field performance and off-field issues, particularly a series of player incidents, such as Evan Stewart's DUII and the late scratches of freshmen wide receivers before a loss to Illinois. Oregon has scored only 14.0 points per game over the past three games, prompting these measures.
