Oregon head football coach Mario Cristobal has lived a life of football since a very young age. But at the end of his football playing career, Cristobal entertained other options for his future work life, but eventually chose football, and life has never been the same. Cristobal has learned from the best throughout his coaching career, and he’s taken those lessons to great heights for the Ducks since becoming the team’s head coach in 2017. The Ducks won the Pac 12 conference championship in 2019 and 2020 and are considered among the nation’s best football programs. Accolades and championships are nice, but it’s the day-to-day grind to get better and the potential he sees for his team that motivates the Oregon head coach.
