The Pac-12 conference announced this afternoon that former Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti has signed on as an in-studio analyst for the upcoming football season.

Aliotti will be featured on the Pac-12 Networks during weekday shows and throughout coverage of Saturday game action.

He began his career at Oregon as a graduate assistant in 1978 and returned in 1988 until taking a job with the St. Louis Rams in 1994. He again came back to Eugene in 1999 as defensive coordinator and held the position until retiring following Oregon's Alamo Bowl victory over Texas.
