We need the "swag" back!
Here is hoping Coach L can bring some of the swag back to our program. I was just thinking this is his first gig that is his. He is calling the shots, its his program, his kids, his gameplan and while he has walked into many a roaring stadium, this will be the first time he OWNS it! And I know Autzen stadium will be rockin!
CK always had the Ducks walk out of that tunnel KNOWING they were going to stomp you and good luck stopping them! The entire program, the entire fanbase, everyone knew it and it was special. I think Lanning can bring that back to the program. No offense to MC, but it was never that confidence, there was never that feeling like we were going to win. He didn't inspire any confidence in the players or fan base. I hope we get that back!!!
Remember this!

Re: We need the "swag" back!
I'm curious if he is that kind of coach or if he is the platitude type like Cristobal.

As a general rule, I don't look to 35 year old white fathers of 3 for leadership of swag. Just me, thoug. Haha

And during the time he's pointing to having swag, Oregon's coach was a 40-something, pudgy New Englander.StevensTechU wrote:As a general rule, I don't look to 35 year old white fathers of 3 for leadership of swag. Just me, thoug. Haha

To be honest, I wasn't there. I was in the military at the time but saw it on TV!

I saw a Georgia fan reply to that question by stating that he doesn't have a meek personality at all but he isn't some over the top aggressive guy on the sidelines either.karlhungis wrote:I'm curious if he is that kind of coach or if he is the platitude type like Cristobal.

I was in the student section. It was my junior year of college. I saw the interception, but never saw the return. I was tackled and ended up at the bottom of a huge student pills in the bleachers.
Man I miss those days.

The video of him I've seen in practice and on the sidelines he's very animated. High energy, keeping his guys engaged during drills.
First impression is he's a slightly less aggressive Coach Feld.

Re: We need the "swag" back!
When Kenny Wheaton embarrassed every Fusked up Huskie fan in the nation, I was chaperoning a group of teenagersworking concessions on the north rim of Autzen... The second we realized what was happening, we pretty much abandoned our booth jumped over the counter, and leaped, crawled or climbed on the wall above a huge group of UW fans... We easily drowned them out, as they had mostly gone dead silent, or were groaning like a 3 day hangover.
Autzen Stadium... Where great teams go to die...Hard!
