The Oregon Ducks football program hired Willie Taggart as head coach hoping the dynamic recruiter and up-and-coming leader would re-cement the program among the nation's elite.
In just a few short weeks, Taggart delivered a top-20 national recruiting class, highlighted by major gains in the key states of California and Florida.
But in assembling his staff, Taggart also made significant in-roads with future classes, most notably the hiring of Michael Johnson as wide receivers coach.
His son, Michael Johnson Jr., is rated the nation's No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2019, and he already holds offers from Arizona, Cal, Florida State, Louisville, Ohio State, Oregon West Virginia and others.
