Jedd waiting for Lanning to black out so he can take his chick.

 

[HFNY]

I have seen people talking about Oregon being an Astro Turf program….artificial and only created due to Phil Knight's money. I am more familiar with the term of All Hat, No Cattle (lots of sizzle, no steak).
Oregon was getting fluffed so hard by the (paid media) yet Oregon now 5-1 with more FBS wins over teams that have already fired their coach (2) than teams with winning records (1).

 

[haie]

lol about the Mariners

 

[Joey]

I forgot to say Fuck Canada on the pod. Even @Canadawg for at least a week. Hope you forgive me

 

[SonnyShackelford]

The Fisch/Lanning debate was excellent.

I can’t find myself hating Lanning for some reason. Coke addict and a moron, sure. But seems like a guy you want to play for. I think he’d find success elsewhere.

Still don’t know if I’d trade Fisch for him.

Has anyone heard anything bad about Fisch within the program? I haven’t heard a peep and agree with D that players seem to like him.

I’d probably just have fun laughing at Lanning’s antics if he was at any other school and still kind of do. Feels like it’s something that can’t not blow up spectacularly at some point.
one of my worries about Judd is he just doesn’t feel like a football guy but the players do seem to like him and be bought in.

As I used to say, "… and that coach at Arizona that looks like a mobster's accountant."

Chip Kelly was a pretty good non-football guy.

He really does. Perfect description of his look and how he talks.

 

[LoneStarDawg]

Lanning is Defensive Sark… you thank your lucky stars you get to have him at a rival

 

[haie]

Fisch is much more like Petersen in practice but he doesn't come across that way to the fans and his wife has everyone thinking that his entire job is to appease her or something which Race rightfully squashed.
Lanning is a performative front man type that doesn't run the show in quite the same way. He makes decisions, but it's not all on him in the same way.

Understandable! Try not to forget to say next week though

 

[godawgst]

Agree on players seemingly like Fisch and want to play for him.
That being said, I'd want Lanning over Jedd as my college team's coach all day long.
From the outside, With Lanning and his fire and brimstone I can see more 18-22 year olds wanting to run thru a wall for him, which in college can be such a big factor in the outcome of a game.
I could also say scoreboard when it comes to overall records and recruiting rankings, but the Nike Machine and Oregon's success late Belotti thru Lanning has allowed them to have a large jimmie and joe talent advantage 9 games a year b4 the 1st snap of fall practice begins

 

[WoolleyDoog]

I don’t know if there is a sport on any level where it’s harder to grade coaches against each other than college football. I do know UW when Judd took over and Arizona were in nowhere near the universe of the chips Lanning is able to work with now or when he started at Oregon and UW likely never will be so it’s almost impossible to hypo interchange the two.

It is kind of funny the biggest similarity between the two could be questioning of their abilities to coach the side of the ball they have ownership of and the deserved scrutiny for not just hiring a real OC/DC.

Good ole James Franklin really explained this well in some press conference, about going average to good to great to elite, and the great to elite step is the hardest one. (found it:
)

Judd took Arizona from terrible to good, bordering on great, maybe. Judd took over UW coming off elite but staring bad/average in the face, kept it average, and now has us good with the possibility to be great.
Lanning is trying to take a great program to elite (And took over a great program). Perhaps the top great program. 12-0 last year would be elite, TBD on how it plays out.

Winning big games in college football is hard. For all the shit we (deservedly) give Lanning and the army of media people and Quooks…how many big games did Peterslips win? My thing is with the whole fighting for clicks filming every pregame speech and releasing it (as long as you win), smashing helmets, and Zyn Shady and media hype, and and and endless shit you created a situation where you better go 16-0 every year or you look like a massive asswipe.
Need more time to LIPO. When comparing the two consider the OL Dan inherited at Oregon to lean on in 2022 to the one Judd got in 2024.

 

[BleachedAnusDawg]

One would have to be a complete retard to fail as HC at Oregon right now with the resources they have courtesy of Nike. Lanning is smart enough to realize he can't do what's he's doing right now anywhere else. He will be Oregon's Whittingham and stay until he retires or is fired.
