I agree on the recruiting front, but Lanning took over a program ready made. They won 11 and 10 in years prior to Lanning minus weird Covid year. Lanning is just taking over what Mario had started building in recurring.

Mario was about to sign a top 5 class the year he left Oregon to come to Miami.

About the trenches i disagree. Oregon had one of best OL in America last season, and again they have one of best in America.

The DL is also tough nasty and physical. War daddy style up front. I think Oregon is a top 4 team.

Very possible you are correct. Mario left it pretty good. I think a lot of his guys ain’t even there anymore

Tough for Fisch because they’re actually doing well this year.

Lanning is a better recruiter/coach than Mario, or at the very least is doing better with the same financial backing.

The sad part isn't you made this comment(because at this point it should be expected), it's that people have actually used the agree emoji... Lanning has essentially done less in recruiting than Mario at best you could try equal(so far) & less on the field. But people like you will continue to discredit him. Atleast let your pessimism reflect on things accurately please and thanks. He won the pac 12 no matter what you think of it multiple times and the rose bowl once... What has Dan Lanning done at Oregon Superior to that. No I'm not interested in hearing about what he did previously as a coordinator. Cause if you wanna give him credit for that than he also takes the hit for Oregon now as it's the offense that makes them click and their defense is the shortcoming of that squad. Same squads who also lost to Utah etc before you wanna start down that rabbit hole.

FWIW, Lanning only has 1 of his recruits in the starting 22 (Connerly).

edit: but as ^^^ says, half the starting 22 are Lanning guys (portal). Two deep is pretty much all Lanning.
