I don’t read Fermans comment as saying Jefferson got the job. He said “Jefferson is filling the role now. There has been no formal announcement yet.” He was responding to a question asking what names were being considered and when would an announcement be made. I take it that Jefferson is acting CB coach and they haven’t announced who it is yet.

You are 1000% correct, I misread his quote.

So, in other words, Ferman has no idea.
I still think it's Jefferson.

Sounds like a strong candidate.
Why would he leave that program to UM, especially since he's a West coast guy?
 
Like you all, i don’t why he would leave as well. However, even though the NCAA has eliminated the cap on “on-field coaches,” there are only 11 coaches, 10 assistants plus the HC, allowed to go on the road for recruiting.

i only found one picture of Rashad Wadood visiting a HS this offseason. Additionally, currently, Oregon has one too many off-campus recruiters/assistants. They also elevated some of their miscellaneous staff to on field assistants with DBs and cornerbacks recently plus more recent promotions on the offensive side of the ball.

One piece of evidence from the prior 2025 year shows him below the S&C coaches, strategically placed, because above S&C there are the 10 off campus recruiters + Lanning; will stein, tosh lupoi, and Ra’Shaad Samples (RBs) are all above Hampton.

Moreover, you will notice Hampton has the title of defensive backs. So it appears that despite coaching on-field last season, Rashad might not have been an off-campus recruiting assistant. This is likely as all the non-off campus recruiters but on-field coaches do not have Oregon bios on their website, just like Rashad — cc: Kamran Araghi and Koa Ka’ai who were recently promoted.

My guess is that he is the #3 guy in the Oregon DB room and moving to Miami would be an increase in the responsibility while also becoming a more defined #2 guy.

Other Evidence: Oregon lost two coordinators and promoted from within to fill those roles. Chris Hampton, formerly co-DC/DBs, is now just the DC.

Special teams coach Joe Lorig has been with Dan Lanning since the beginning. His original title was ST/nickels coach; when he was at Penn State under Brent Pry, it was ST/OLBs. The latest Oregon football release didn’t have nickels on there although his X bio still does.

Want to know how we can reasonably speculate Rashad is the third most powerful voice in the room? Prior to playing for E Washington, he played at Arizona State. At Arizona State, his cornerbacks coach was none other than Joe Lorig himself, who has coached every position in the back 7 since his coaching career began in 1997.

When Lorig left ASU, Rashad did too. As did Lanning, who was a GA then recruiting coordinator at ASU for two separate years. Lanning would once again work with Loring while he was in Memphis prior to getting hired as UGA’s OLB then DC. At Memphis, Lanning was ILB/RC and Loring was OLB/ST.

Despite the drastic changes to the Oregon coaching staff, the Ducks didn’t lose recruits. The program’s unique approach to recruiting is a big reason why. Lanning explained during his signing day press conference that his staff recruits by committee, rather than a commit’s relationship being with one member of the coaching staff. He said that he’s honest with recruits about the possibility of coaching changes.

“I think, when you're honest from the beginning to the end of, hey, this is what it looks like right now. We've got an unbelievable staff,” Lanning said. “We've had transition here in the past, and we've shown exactly what that looks like when transition happens.”

Mario possibly gives more recruiting evaluation autonomy than Lanning?

Are you suggesting El Conejo ***** was being disingenuous and playing the heel when he hopped in to comment on the last two coaching hires?
