Ra’Shaad Samples is remaining in Eugene. Oregon’s running backs coach, who was hired last spring, interviewed for the same job with the Dallas Cowboys but turned down the opportunity, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.

Oregon Ducks running backs coach Ra’Shaad Samples is reportedly a target of interest for the Dallas Cowboys in the same position. Samples, only 30 years old, helped guide running back Jordan James to a career-best season in 2024 and is a recruiting asset.

Oregon Ducks running backs coach Ra'Shaad Samples reportedly will turn down the Dallas Cowboys RB job and return to Eugene for the 2025 season.
