Looks like a good hire. Ortiz is coming from a pretty good program. What an opportunity for him to learn under Avalos. Even though Ortiz has limited coaching experience there could be some benefit to playing recently on a good program and relating to the players.

You have to wonder what's going on with Moorhead at this point? I liked the news of Moorhead being the next OC so I hope it comes to fruition. 

Yeah, I like the youth factor, plus his playing experience. As far as Moorhead, I have no idea. It seems we would have heard something official by now if it was a done deal. I too like the hire, if true.

On Moorhead, while it is unusual to wait this long to make an announcement, a couple of writers have claimed that it's because Cristobal isn't in Eugene. He's attended a couple award ceremonies and (I presume) has been out recruiting. But if they don't announce something soon, I'm gonna start a Greg Roman to Oregon rumor.

LOL. You're gonna need a twitter account to start an official rumor Something I don't have. It seems as tho you would want to get something finished so he could hit the trail as well. Guess we'll eventually find out. In Mario we trust!

I'm still not sure why Moorhead hasn't been announced, but he's been out recruiting hard for Oregon. Official or not, it sure seems like a done deal.
