Next Duck Coach: DAN LANNING

[Duck07]

Nobody is disputing the natural beauty of the state. It's the rest of the baggage that turns people off...

Ain't nothing worse than either side of partisan politics thinking that they are the correct side.

I have wondered if being in Eugene vs Athens has been a culture shock for the Lanning family, I know Georgia isn’t the most conservative of the southern states but Oregon is certainly quite drastically different from a political landscape. Something as simple as how serious masks are in Oregon could be a surprise to them.

EDIT: PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A POLITICAL STATEMENT OR FOR AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO MAKE A POLITICAL STATEMENT! I do not want this thread to be locked for a silly reason after how far it’s gone!

Athens, GA is very comparable to Eugene politically-speaking. Less obvious homelessness, so that could take some getting used to, and of course a big difference in the weather.

Gotcha, I wasn’t aware of that, so really just the cold and homelessness are probably the only things that might surprise them, I would say that’s not bad but with the crazy cold weather today it might be quite difficult to adjust to.

Miami is an objectively a better place to live unfortunately.

During the winter, probably 95% plus of people would agree with you. During other times of the year, there would be much less of an overwhelming consensus. It also depends on what stage of your life you are in, your general lifestyle, etc.

Uh, ever heard of winter sports, like skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, sledding, etc...Pretty sure you can't do those in Florida.

My thought is Miami is a better place to live if you are a millionaire, Oregon is a better place to live if you are not.

Off-topic but all the Joey Harrington stuff made me remember the podcast.

I wanna ask them as a joke when will Oregon be brave enough to schedule Alabama

More background on Dan. My brother has been communicating for a couple years with the mother of Kelee Ringo 5* recruit from AZ who signed with Georgia. Her response to the news that Dan was the new coach was-

“He’s going to be Exactly what Oregon needs! He’s a great person inside and out! Has a great relationship with the boys! I’m sorry to see him go. “

Unfortunately probably no chance of him coming to Oregon.

Reading a Georgia board he's got a lot of experience recruiting AZ. I think there's a 5 star DL from AZ who he's recruited and Oregon showed interest.

Next class is where we see it start to pay off.

Lanning's contract is out and it's in line with Cristobal was making during much of his time at Oregon.

Living in Oregon is no where near living in Georgia, however no wonder he has a smile on his face. NOT BAD!!!

I hope you just mean geographically.

This convo is funny. I work remotely. Wife is Canadian with no ties to Oregon. We make a good living and could live anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, and we chose Oregon because it's great here (although, the pandemic has definitely made a dent in how great it is, but hopefully it bounces back). What it lacks in flash, it makes up for in being an outdoor wonderland with good, earnest people.

Wasn't looking to light people up by comparing Lanning's presser to MC's. I like the hire. But here's a link to MC's presser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwkHGoWKnLs

I've lived in the deep south and in Eugene. Eugene's weather is spectacular in the late summer and fall, but not this time of year. Personally, I don't like living where they let people camp on sidewalks, so I'll never live in Eugene again. But Lanning is young and probably more OK with that sort of thing.
