Oregon will hire Alabama offensive tackles/tight ends coach Mario Cristobal as its new co-offensive ooordinator, sources tell 247Sports. He will also coach the offensive line for the Ducks.

New coach Willie Taggart is landing a guy in Cristobal who's recognized as one of the nation’s elite recruiters and top offensive line coaches.

Cristobal was named the National Recruiter of the Year by 247Sports in the 2015 cycle. He’s currently ranked as the nation’s No. 2 recruiter this cycle by 247Sports based on his current Alabama haul.

Since 2013, Cristobal signed some of Alabama’s top targets including Minkah Fitzpatrick, Jonah Williams, Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy, Cam Robinson and Da'Ron Payne.

Cristobal was the head coach for FIU from 2007-2012, where he inherited a downtrodden program ravaged by a major loss of scholarships, horrendous facilities and sanctions. In Year 4 he led the Golden Panthers (7-6) to the Sun Belt conference title. It was the first winning season in program history. Cristobal and FIU topped the feat a year later going 8-5. He hired Geoff Collins and Scott Satterfield for FIU. Collins is the head coach now at Temple and Satterfield is the head guy at Appalachian State.

Cristobal coached tight ends and offensive line for his alma mater, Miami, from 2004-06. Before that, he was Greg Schiano's top assistant at Rutgers from 2001-03.

Cristobal played offensive tackle for the Miami Hurricanes during their glory days, helping the Hurricanes win national championships in 1989 and 1991.
