For most coaches, the path is pretty linear: stay at a powerhouse like Oregon as an OC, soak up the victories.

It’s not gone well in the last week, has it? Reading completed a turgid three-game run with a loss on the road to beach-bound Doncaster Rovers.

He also proved himself an adept pass-catcher, […]
