Cristobal was co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Oregon this past season and was named interim coach on Tuesday when Willie Taggart left to become head coach at Florida State. He becomes the 34th coach in Oregon history.
"Mario's leadership skills, work ethic, and experience makes him a perfect fit to lead the Oregon football program," Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens said in a statement. "He has a passion for Oregon and a vision for our future success, and has made a significant impact on our student-athletes during his time here. We look forward to a great future on the horizon for the Ducks under Mario's leadership.
