University of South Florida's Willie Taggart will be named Oregon's next football coach, sources told ESPN.
Taggart replaces Mark Helfrich, who was fired by Oregon a week ago after going 4-8 overall and 2-7 in the Pac-12 this season.
Taggart and Mississippi State's Dan Mullen were the two finalists for the Oregon job, a source said.
Taggart had been at USF for four seasons, increasing his win total from two in his first season to four and then eight. This year's 10-2 record was the best in school history.
