Tosh Lupoi, who is currently the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defensive line coach, is expected to be hired as Oregon’s defensive coordinator at the conclusion of the Jaguars’ season, sources tell @on3sports.

Worked with Dan Lanning at Alabama in 2015.

Great recruiter. Don’t know how he'll do as the defensive coordinator

Florida fans said he was already hired there. Weird.

He’s not a good coordinator.

Sounds like Napier’s search for a DC is just as unclear as Kelly’s. I wonder if Gator fans are ready to jump off a bridge too.

Napier's DC is Patrick Toney - the guy is brought over from ULL

It makes sense

Lupoi is a west coast guy and will probably have the title of defensive coordinator, instead of co-DC at Florida. Even though Lanning will still be running the D.

I’m sure they’re paying him a frickton of money too. They’ll need his recruiting against Riley and USC.

The UF fans and Napier fangirls are strangely absent from this thread.

With Lanning as the HC, it’s smart to hire a recruiter as DC.

He's adding Adrian Klemm as OL coach too. Loading up on recruiters.

There's only one Florida fan giving LSU shite about Napier. We already have our play calling DC in place, Patrick Toney. We may go with Co-DC's though to pay more. With Tosh, it has looked bleak for a few weeks now since the Lanning hire and his wife being from the PNW.

Florida is targeting Karl Scott as Co-DC I believe.

This has been the sell job for Oregon for the last 3 coaching hires. And those guys keep leaving. Feel like that tells us it’s more work to recruit up there than people want to believe

That’s why oregon wanted Justin Wilcox, an oregon guy. They’re tired of coaches leaving

Is Lupoi really that bad of a DC (projected or historically)?

Saban sent him packing after only 1 year as full time DC, so…

Quite a blow that he rejected UF though. They thought they had him

Word from Florida fans is that he’s being blackballed from coaching in the SEC again due to his illegal tactics at Alabama.
