Never hire an up and coming young coordinator that’s never been a head coach. Especially at a top tier p4 program.
Kirby Smart is an exception because he was at Alabama as dc for seven years. And a did stints at other p5 stops and even the nfl.
Oregon was at home!! Opening game with the highest rated qb.
There is no freaking excuse for that performance by that team.
This isn’t a tighten up thing. This is a problem and everyone wants to sweep it under the rug because of all the hype and talent they have.
Why because he beat Deion?
vols looked good
Bama looked good
Uga looked good
Texas looked good
They all did it against scrubs (except uga).
Texas did it with their 2 best running backs out.
You know what other team struggled against bad comp?
Colorado!
I asked a question when people were saying that Oregon had the better coach.
Mario built that team into 2 PAC 12 titles after going 4-8.
Lanning inherited a winning team and recruiting giant with money. Hasn’t won his conference and opened up looking bad.
Both on year 3.
We opened up a can of whoop asz against a sec team in the heat with 90k opposing fans and steam rolled.
So I’ll ask again. If Dan Lanning is a great coach and people have been licking his nootsack and sayin we should've hired him instead…….
Then what tf is our head coach?
