Oregon WR Coach Michael Johnson leaves for Mississippi State

Per Matt Prehm of DuckTerritory.com (The Oregon 247sports affiliate), now former wide receivers coach Michael Johnson accepted the same job at Mississippi State.

This was a fast moving hire as the job was open for less than two days. Coach Johnson was in Mississippi interviewing for the position during the weekend.

Coach Johnson was a Willie Taggart hire that was retained by current head coach Mario Cristobal. He owes Oregon nothing on the buyout as his Ducks contract stated that he owed 0 if he left after the 2018 bowl game (courtesy of 247 Sports).
