Dan Lanning, Oregon HC (All Bark No Bite, James Franklin Jr.)

[Thump]

Were people actually saying Lanning was ever good?

He is nothing but a redneck Deion Sanders with Nike money backing him.

At least Deion coached a kid up to win a Heisman.

MANY!!!!

He did not say that. Tell me he didn't say that.

Haven't seen a video of it, but that Twitter account is a USA Today beat writer for Oregon, and not some shady pro-tomato troll account.

Seems like a credible source and that he likely did say it.

He said it, but it was in direct response to a question about what was different about OSU versus Michigan versus what they were today. He wasn’t trolling or being a dick. His presser was actually classy.

He said that. Sounds like some shit someone who doesn't have to play Ohio State next year would say. Bitch boy. Still not a rival.

If he was being a prick, then I would feel bad for not sending 12 guys out there on the last play. But since he's still classy, and he shoved it up Colorado's ass, I'll give him a pass.

I watched his presser and that comment didn’t stand out to me. I thought he came off pretty well.

Agreed. He took the blame for the loss and gave credit to the Buckeyes.

Yeap, one of the times where you need the context of the question, he wasn't trolling one bit.

 

[Steve19]

I don't think he intended any disrespect at all.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Nah he definitely didn't. I understand the question, also.........just not being asked of the Oregon coach. What does he give a fuck how we played against Michigan? That's about the best answer he could've given, honestly.

 

[CMic]

Lanning also didn’t take the bait when asked about the CFP draw. Just said they need to play whoever is against them and play better.

Class act in the post-game presser.

Agreed.
I'm not going to pretend to know this dude is a good coach or this other dude is a bad coach. But he led his team to a 13-0 record in 2024. I don't know what he did in previous years, except that he lost to Washington twice last year. That's all I know about him.
But he did come off really well in that press conference. And he appeared to give a good congratulations to Ryan Day after the game - not some half-assed fist-bump on his way past him to the locker room. I haven't seen any videos of him whining to or about officials. As far as I know, he doesn't beat his wife or kids. He scored a garbage time touchdown against the cheaters, making them cry.
The guy is alright in my book.
