It looks like new Oregon offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead is going to be bringing one of his former assistants from Mississippi State with him. According to a report from Football Scoop this weekend, it is expected Oregon will add Taylor Housewright as an offensive quality control assistant.
Housewright held the same position under Moorhead at Mississippi State. A change to Housewright’s own Twitter profile helped confirm that news, as it is now flooded with Oregon logos and colors and, of course, retweets. Housewright previously held a role as an offensive graduate assistant at Wyoming. He also played quarterback for Ashland University from 2009 through 2011. Housewright spent a few seasons coaching at his alma mater as well before moving on to Wyoming and, later, Mississippi State.
Moorehead was fired as head coach by Mississippi State at the conclusion of his second year in Starkville (Mississippi State hired former Washington State head coach Mike Leach). Roughly three weeks later, Oregon confirmed the addition of Moorhead as the new offensive coordinator for head coach Mario Cristobal. Moorhead is replacing Marcus Arroyo, who accepted the head coaching job at UNLV in December 2019.
