Never heard of him before, but I trust Dan Lanning.

The Oregon Ducks have reportedly hired former Syracuse WR coach Ross Douglas to replace Junior...

McCord at Syracuse did not have the quality of WR he had at Ohio State but he threw for more yards at Cuse than he did in Columbus. 

 

Ross had something to do with this and in Danno I trust.

 

Question on the 5 Things to Know article from Ducks Wire, is a move from RB coach to WR coach an upgrade or a lateral move?

 

Fran Brown who had never been an HC did a great job, as noted, at Syracuse in 2024. Ross was a big part. Thank you Syracuse for erasing a 21-point deficit and coming back to defeat Mari-Oh-Ho-Ho's Canes team and sending the Canes to play for The Mayo and not the PO Gold. 

 

On paper, he seems like a great pickup. He also has NFL experience.

This is the biggest question I have about him: can he recruit at an elite level?

With recruiting comparisons you always need to see how they recruit and not who they recruit. Syracuse isn't going to compete for many top tier receivers so instead you have to look at who did he bring in and develop. 

 

What qualities does he look for in a receiver? The Ducks don't go after any and every five star. Nor should they. I'm assuming he does a good job getting the players they need to be successful. Now put a bigger brand and more resources behind him... And he'll elevate it. First recruiting job he has is on the Oregon roster and the incoming freshman. Convince them he's their guy and I have no worries.

Great NFL experience coaching receivers with the Patriots.  Led the nation in passing yards last season at Syracuse - 4,810!
