Dan was giving them absolutely nothing, LOL.

You can tell he's laser focused and was gonna go watch film as soon as possible.

Dan Lanning is great at limiting what he says without being an asshole about it. I'm sure some of those reporters wish he'd expand a bit more on certain topics, but he treats them with respect and gives them all they need.

I think a lot of coaches nowadays come off the practice field angry/annoyed/stressed about their players and take it out on journalists. (And true professionals will just stand there and take it, because they're not trying to be part of the story.) Or they just have such massive egos or tunnel vision (or both) that they just can't be ****ed to deal with people from outside their program. I heard audio today of Deion Sanders just ****ing around with a local columnist for no real reason, and that's just so freaking weird to me.

That kind of casualized disrespect doesn't seem to be in Lanning's DNA. He's a fun coach to root for, and for all the right reasons. Laser-focused on winning without losing his humanity over it. I hope he's here for a very long time.

...Or they might be responding to the duplicitous, manipulative, and often malevolent way that journos pursue their agenda-driven reporting in order to make a name for themselves. The way Canzano was with Bellotti and then Chip is a great example. Most of them believe it is their job to ask questions that would be considered impolite and even insulting in regular conversation. That's why everyone likes clips like the one where Mike Tyson lays into a talk show guy that made reference to his rape conviction from decades ago as if it were still relevant. Or Jim Gray with Pete Rose, etc.

Lanning is young yet, and has achieved mostly positive results. He hasn't had the decades of experience with the media that Deion has had.

I always thought the way Cristobal behaved towards Crepea was entertaining. He didn't talk to any other journalist that way, and you could see his demeanor visibly change when Crepea's turn to ask a question came up. I think most journalist earn the way they are treated by coaches.

-Looks like Matthew Bedford is out with a knee injury, which would explain why some media members were asking about the right side of the OL the past couple practices.
-Jahlil Florence was back in cleats for the first time

Bedford's injury is concerning. Hope Strother is healthy. We also need Iuli to have a breakout year.
