It would appear Oregon is getting into the big-time assistant pool. The Ducks are reportedly willing to spend at least $4 million on assistants under Willie Taggart.

Oregon State’s salary pool for assistant football coaches is $2.6 million. Oregon’s under Willie Taggart will be $4 million+, per source. — John Canzano (@johncanzanobft) December 8, 2016

Under Mark Helfrich ORegon was spending just under $3.5 million for assistants.

By contrast that would put Oregon in the top 15 nationally in assistant pool money. LSU spends the most at $5.8 million currently.

In the Pac-12 conference, UCLA is listed at the top with just around $3.95 million. (Stanford and USC are not listed.)

Oregon has yet to announce any assistant hires under Willie Taggart.
