Baylor was one of several Power Five schools in need of a coach this year and they got their man with the hiring of Matt Rhule. That noticeably leaves Oregon without a head coach after firing Mark Helfrich. There have been several names attached to the job, but no results yet.

The school has already ruled out P.J. Fleck as it didn't interview him over the weekend or on Monday. That leaves only a few options left like Taggart or Boise State's Bryan Harsin. There were some rumors that current Florida coach Jim McElwain might head back to the Pacific Northwest, but he's made it clear that he likes his life in Gainesville and will continue to be the Gators head coach.
