Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks might have surprised some people earlier this month when they announced the hiring of A’lique Terry as the new offensive line coach, replacing veteran OL coach Adrian Klemm. Terry, while an incredibly promising young coach with a bright future, is still early in his career, and one of the knocks on Lanning’s coaching staff in 2022 was that it could benefit from more veteran experience. It looks like Lanning has made a move to help that. According to a report from On3’s Matt Zenitz, the Ducks are hiring veteran OL coach Mike Cavanaugh as the assistant offensive line coach to Terry, and he will also serve in an analyst-type role.

David Marsh No. 3 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I think this is a good hire to offset the youth of Terry. Though aren't there only allowed to be 10 assistant coaches. Wouldn't this put Oregon at 11 assistants if he takes on an on-field role which is what it seems like he is doing. Did I miss a rule change on number of coaches? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirklandduck Moderator No. 5 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Given the title includes an analyst role, he's probably there to give Terry a lot of advice off the field and let him implement on the practice field. Good way to get around the 10 assistant coach limit. Edited February 24, 2023 by kirklandduck 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read other articles that said he was more of a co-coach and I was thinking analysis role so it fit better. Still a great hire. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
