If you've been a reader of ScoopDuck you would know these two things by now:

1. Mario Cristobal has put a HEAVY emphasis on his strength and conditioning coach hire.

2. After interviewing in person more than a half dozen strength coaches, his favorite is/was Aaron Feld.

Today he took the first step towards completing his first goal.

Sources tell us Mario Cristobal has reached a signed agreement with Georgia assistant strength coach Aaron Feld. His official title at Georgia was assistant director of strength and conditioning. At Oregon he will be the head strength and conditioning coach.

Terms have not been disclosed at this time.

Furthermore sources also tell ScoopDuck Feld is more than excited to work with and in conjunction with Jim Radcliffe at Oregon. His knowledge of speed and agility and calisthenics training is widely regarded as some of the best in the world.

Last season under Irele Oderinde, Oregon did not utilize the expertise of coach Rad throughout the season.

Feld is already in Eugene and expected to get to work with the team through Winter training immediately.
