It is still unclear if Oregon’s current strength and conditioning coach, Aaron Feld, is going to join Mario Cristobal’s staff at Miami.

But it was reported Wednesday morning that Dan Lanning is already targeting the Ducks’ next strength and conditioning coach.

Matt Zenitz of On3 reported that Ole Miss strength and conditioning coach Wilson Love has emerged as a candidate for the same role at Oregon. Zenitz later reported that the Ducks are “expected” to hire Love.

Love has served as Lane Kiffin’s head strength and conditioning coach at Ole Miss staff since 2019. He also worked with Kiffin for three seasons in the same capacity at FAU when Kiffin was the head coach there.
