Oregon Ducks football coach Willie Taggart added a second assistant to his staff on Friday, making official the hiring of Jimmie Dougherty to be the Ducks' wide receivers coach.

Like Taggart, Dougherty comes from the Jim Harbaugh coaching tree. He comes to Oregon after one season as an offensive analyst under Harbaugh at Michigan, where the Wolverines scored 41 points per game. Dougherty first worked for Harbaugh from 2004-06 with the San Diego Toreros.

Media reports surfaced last weekend that Taggart planned to hire Dougherty, who before Michigan served as an assistant head coach and oversaw wide receivers and the passing game at San Jose State from 2013-15.

Dougherty coached the Washington Huskies' receivers from 2009-12, and before that he served in a variety of roles for the Toreros, from 2004-08. He coached wide receivers (2004), tight ends (2005) and quarterbacks (2006-07), and he was offensive coordinator in his final season at San Diego.

He played quarterback at Missouri from 1997-2001.

Taggart has seven full-time coaching spots remaining. He was noncommital when asked last week if he would retain any of Mark Helfrich's assistants, telling The Oregonian/OregonLive he was "not sure, to be honest." But according to CSN Northwest's Aaron Fentress, Helfrich's assistants were sent termination letters soon after his firing, and Taggart has not reached out to them about keeping them on.

Taggart is likely to bring some of his South Florida assistants with him to Eugene, but those announcements would probably come after South Florida's bowl game next Tuesday.
