Former Oregon Ducks assistant Matt Lubick is returning to the Pac-12.

Lubick joined coach Chris Petersen's staff at Washington as receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator, the school announced Thursday.

"I am excited to add Matt to our coaching staff," Petersen said in a statement. "He has earned a national reputation as an innovative coaching mind and a successful recruiter. Equally as important, we believe he will be a terrific fit with our staff, players and the University of Washington."

In Seattle, Lubick will share coordinator duties with Jonathan Smith, a record-setting Oregon State quarterback who played while Lubick was OSU's secondary coach from 1999-00.

FootballScoop.com first reported the hire.

Lubick coached receivers at Oregon since 2013 and was UO's offensive coordinator last season, as well, before coach Mark Helfrich and his staff were fired Nov. 29. New UO coach Willie Taggart did not retain any position coaches.

The job is Lubick's third since leaving Eugene. Less than two weeks after Ole Miss hired him in late December to coach receivers, Lubick left to become co-offensive coordinator at Baylor. In Seattle, he replaces Huskies receivers coach Bush Hamdan, who departed to become the quarterbacks coach of the reigning NFC champion Atlanta Falcons.

The job in Seattle marks Lubick's return to a conference he knows well. Prior to coaching at Oregon, he spent time on the staffs at Oregon State and Arizona State, where he coached the secondary from 2007-09.
