Oregon has terminated offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer following a poor showing this season. The Ducks struggled offensively, failing to score more than 17 points in their last three games, including a 10-point performance against Illinois. Despite a 41-point outing against USC, Oregon’s overall offensive struggle raised questions about head coach Dan Lanning and the program's direction. This firing occurs after Oregon dropped to a likely 8-4 record and misses out on the College Football Playoff.
