Mario Cristobal makes a familiar hire to his Oregon staff. Not familiar to Oregon fans, but to himself.

Dipping into his Alabama roots, Cristobal has brought close friend and vastly experienced assistant Bobby Williams to Oregon.

Williams has a world of experience in the coaching world. He's had stops in high school, college and in the NFL. In 1999, Williams was the head coach at Michigan State until 2002.

He was hired on at Alabama in 2008 to coach tight ends and special teams under Nick Saban. Recently he was moved to a special assistant title at Alabama in 2016.

At Oregon he is expected to help with special teams and as an assistant to Mario Cristobal. Every head coach needs a right hand man and Cristobal can lean on Williams for his knowledge and experience.

Oregon's coaching staff is near completion under Mario Cristobal.
