Josh Pate On Dan Lanning Staying At Oregon (Late Kick Cut) 

Well said!

Is he really tho, dude can't even beat Washington.

Washington was mediocre literally against everyone else tho so what does that mean? They just had our number somehow and it is what it is, the better team was still Oregon 🦆

@BernieMac0810 beating Liberty in a meaningless bowl game is a little different than beating Texas and making the cfp championship game. You can believe whatever you want but you look foolish doing it.

@@PrinceRoyceFan667we beat who they made us play get off our diccc goofy

You mean like hiring Willie Taggart?

@@uowebfoot Well, people do make mistakes.

The tip of the spear was Mike Bellotti. Oregon was a door mat in the 80’s. Rich Brooks hired MB as his OC in the late 80’s, and they immediately improved. Mike took Oregon to heights never seen before. Finishing # 7 in 2000, and finishing #2 in 2001. It was his success at the end of the 90’s that peaked Phil Knights interest. That’s when Knight started investing heavily into the Ducks. Point is, that would’ve never happened if it wasn’t for Bellotti. What we see today all started in 1988/89 with the hire of MB… Another thing to consider, he was offered higher profile jobs while he was at Oregon, but he always turned them down. Ohio St came calling and he said no. His love for Oregon was unwavering, and it’s looking like we are seeing this same scenario play out again with Dan Lanning. Will we see another MB in Lanning and have a coach stay for over 20 + years? It’s looking like that could be a huge possibility.

@@jimedick9496 Yeah, I don't want to see Oregon as a "hang-out spot" or as you say "door-mat" to the next career move. In the 80's, you look at high profile people like Belotti and sense they are sincere and committed. I met Mike at the old G-Willkers on Coburg Rd, and got to shake his hand. He came across as sincere and wanted the team to make it to Championship game. Don't ask me what I thought of Taggart. He was not sincere. This school should not be used as a learning facility for your next career move. But I sense Dan is going to win more than 1 Championship for Oregon. I just feel it in the Force LOL.

Bellotti was a special coach. Oregon owes it all to that man. Another thing to consider, he was able to keep the huge majority of his Assistant coaches sitting his tenure. That’s unheard of these days. Lanning just has the “It” about him. There’s a reason why the greatest coach wanted to promote him as his DC while he was at Alabama. Only to have Kirby Smart sneak in and grab out from underneath Saban. Having those two coaches think that highly of such a young coach, is all a person needs to know about Lanning. He’s special, and I agree with your statement. I think he’ll bring multiple championships to Oregon before he’s done. There is one team that still scares me, and it’s not a college team. It’s the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s his dream job, and if they came calling, I don’t think he’d turn that down.

Thank you, friend. I'm glad my Oregon Fan cohorts represented us well. I know, like any other fan base, we have our idiots. I wish I could have been there. I worked in Texas one summer (San Antonio) and I loved it. I would move there in a hot second, but my wife can't stand the heat!

Was a great game. I was right behind the Oregon bench near the Red Raider student section. Looking forward to hosting Texas Tech in Eugene in couple years!

As a lifelong duck fan, I’ve been to Texas twice. Nothing like Texas or southern hospitality.

I know it! I open doors for everyone, because I'm a nice guy. Oregon is the only place I had a woman get mad at me for doing that. Texas, everyone is so damn nice. @@sparkyplug788

Hey cheers mate! Go ducks!

Nike's bag alone will not build the juggernaut, players have to want to play for you too. Many younger players become less hungry getting a lump sum of money early but we will see if it works.

Congrats on your title and the first team to reach 1000 wins 👍

Good or bad....it's where these coaches wanted to be.. KUDOS to coach Lanning. He's is truly a legend in the making. God BLESS him and his family. 🦆🦆🙌🙌👍👍

It’s mind boggling how talented Mario is at recruiting, but absolutely talentless at game planning and Gameday coaching. How you could be so good at one aspect and so terrible at another and keep failing up is amazing. Enjoy him Miami, he’s all yours

USC, Ohio St. Notre Dame , and others. I think we are seeing another Mike Bellotti situation with Dan Lanning.

Excited to have you guys in Autzen next season! Gonna be electric!

Washington probably won't be the same without Kalen Deboer and Michael Penix Jr. Look out for Oregon though

So OSU is my new adopted fav team to go along with Utah. We had some great matchups over the years with the Utes, and their fan base is terrific. They have very classy fans. Before and after games, win or lose, they always showed respect and extended well wishes…. Since rumors of Oregon first started circulating about joining the B1G, the huge majority of OSU fans have been very supportive of the idea. Once it was official, I’ve seen so many of their fans welcoming us Duck fans. I hope OSU and UO fans continue that class of showmanship towards each other for years to come, just like the relationship we have with Utah fans. Good luck Buckeyes. I’m really looking forward to many great matchups 🤝 I’ll be cheering for you all in every game, unless it’s against the Ducks 😁

Fuck washington

@@jimedick9496 Ryan Day can't even beat Michigan anymore. Ryan Day is also 0-3 against the S.E.C. let's hope that Ohio State keeps Ryan Day so that they can keep losing big games

If your profile pic is accurate (and you are US Army) then thanks for your service and Go Ducks!

Oregon is going to be a top 3 team next year with all the talent they are accumulating. I think Ohio State will be favored to win the B1G but it would not shock me at all if Oregon won the conference in year 1 of the new Big 10 era.

Agreed

I found myself more excited during the off seasons recruiting period, than the actual football season itself. His offense was vanilla, and insanely predictable. 1st down: Run it 2nd down: Run it 3rd down: pass to the flat for a receiver screen. Also, first half of the season, was usually successful. The second half, crash and burn. If it wasn’t for Justin Herbert, it would’ve been a disaster 4 years.

Imagine Herbert without Mario’s leash…

@@dublinpub5363 I try not to think about that because it just depresses me

never ever liked mario ....EVER

He didn’t accept USC or Notre Dame either 👍 Bellotti’s love for Oregon was unwavering. It still is, and it’s on full display anytime you see him in an interview.

I believe you’re wrong. Dan loves Oregon. He loves the program. He has already formed deep roots at Oregon. He wants to elevate Oregon to its first ever national championship while elevating himself to his first ever championship win. Doing it at Alabama only continues the trend of winning championships. It credits not him but Nick Sabin for building Bama to what it already is, a power house. He doesn’t want to try and fill the enormous shoes of Nick Sabin or stand in his enormously long shadow. Dan wants to be a first. Oregon and Dan are perfect together.

It played a huge roll, that’s for certain. Joining the B1G moved the needle for recruiting as well. Oregon has been placing around 10 nationally, give or take a few spots. This last year they are anywhere from 4-6 pending on recruiting service. So it’s helped. Lanning stated that he’s having an easier time selling the program to the recruits since joining the league. I’m still not sure he leaves though. The PAC was still a P5 league with a guarantee of at least 1 playoff birth. Not a bad problem to have. That’s the football aspect. His personal side seems to love it at Oregon. He has stated more than once, he wants to set his roots down and raise his children in one place. He’s not interested in moving from place to place. He wants his kids to have a stable environment and he has that at Oregon. I think that played a major roll in his decision to turn down A&M, and now Bama. Plus, he’s got everything and anything he wants or needs at Oregon.

Hate to break it to you Nike money goes to a lot of schools including Stanford

@@YoshiYosheda Hate to break it to you but Nike does more for Oregon than any other school in the county... even stanford.

@@chadchaddertonwhy are you jealous 😆😆😆 OMG look how much billionaires donate to their schools they attended you seem offended .

@@YoshiYosheda What am I offended about? I am an oregon fan... how am I offended?

@@chadchadderton could of fooled me.

Got everything but will vs washington and cfp spot

In 2009 he had left Oregon and gave Chip Kelly the reigns, so a bit different. But he turned down Notre Dame before that.

@@Do_the_Scarn He moved into the athletic director position at Oregon and promoted Chip Kelly to HC. Bellotti is the epitome of loyalty and love for his team/university. He will always be my all time favorite Duck. Lanning is creeping up fast

It may take 2-5 yrs but i believe bama will slowly fall from grace. Still get bowl games but rarely in the playoffs

Quite the prediction with no one knowing who the coach will be@@bryanneal939

@@bryanneal939thats you wishing. Roll Tide

Every change in college football was designed to weaken the top programs and create more parity

And he still won’t leave!

….🎼Woke up this morning, got yourself a lifer🎼 💛🦆💚

Kind of awkward given his gun control speech last season though, they'd have to change the lyrics

2024: Big 10 > SEC

@@Noahvon503 the sec is 40x better than the Big10 every year especially next year the sec is completely loaded next yr

It’s Bama! Recruiting there is the easiest place on earth for bringing in talent. They sit in a hot bed of blue chip players , and Saban built a machine at Bama. It recruits itself.

@@jimedick9496 yea but Texas and ga are recruiting at the same level (bama texas ga) are top 3 back to back years. And the sec is littered w teams that recruit well the only Big10 school that recruits well is OSU. lanning could run the Big10 w his recruiting and coaching. sec is harder bc everybody has good players. Im an ole miss fan but debor seems like a better hire literally beat lanning twice this year w a worse roster

@@lifeislikeaboxofchocolates5383 He’s a terrific hire! He’s won everywhere he’s been. He’s not a good recruiter, but he’s ACC excellent X and O’s coach. With that said, I beg to differ. Lanning’s has coached and recruited in the SEC country and he excelled at it. He knows the south and he was an excellent recruiter. He helped build that Georgia defense that was an unmovable force. DeBoer landed a gem with Penix when he transferred from Indiana. Lanning landed a great one in Bo Nix as well. Here’s the difference. Penix has a terrific long ball. Oregon DB’s are good, but not great. They are Oregons weakest group on the team. UW was a matchup problem for Oregon... When you compared both teams to common opponents, Oregon blew them out, while UW barely got off with a win. The eye test said Oregon should kill Washington. My point is, remove Nix and Penix, and replace them with a mediocre QB for both teams. Who do you think would win? Oregon They simply have more talent and are the better team. Oregon lost to UW by a combined 6 points, yet out gained them offensively. The play of Penix was outstanding, and his play was the difference. Remove Penix, and UW is barely a .500 team. Remove Nix, and Oregon still wins 9 games, if not more. They dominated their opponents whereas UW barely beat. Lanning knows the SEC and the offenses they run and the defensive schemes they use. DeBoer has coached the North and far west. This is very new to him, but with Lanning, he’s right at home. Just my opinion, but I think it’s a solid one.

Oregon has been good since 2011 but that's all they'll be. Oregon is basically west coast notre dame, without the championships.

He was. He and Sark were the top targets.

Dan definitely got that call

Doesn’t matter, he was the front of the tabloids and he turned it into a recruiting pitch for Oregon. The entire country is talking about us now. Lanning is a showman and the perfect fit for us up here in Oregon

@@Ducks4Life91 How do you know that? Has this been confirmed by Byrne or Lanning. Maybe it was confirmed by the same people who saw Lanning on the Quad!

I can feel people bittersweet in their mouths 😂😂😂😂

Tennessee is always champions of the off season, the storybook tale ends once they start playing conference games that matter

Lol, Oregon would beat Washington in '24 regardless! Penix and your pro receivers are gone.

42-6.

substance...obviously...deon would drop the buffs in a heart beat if he got a call from bama...which he didnt

Recruiting. And recruiting is the lifeline of any successful program. So it was 100% substance. Deion fans might learn one day. Probably not, but maybe.

@@willl7780Prime would never get offered the Bama job🤷🏾‍♂️

Substance, since he scored the top WR in the transfer portal immediately after.

Doesn't matter...like jumping rope...he let the speculation fester...made a NO video....and gained respect from his players and fans. 👍👍🦆🦆

@@kennyr3751 It still kinda matters.

@@robolive123 Not to anyone at this time. He flipped the media attention into a recruiting pitch.

Why would he put it out there like he did, and then have the AD come out and proclaim they never offered or spoke with him? That would be as he cashed it “egg on their face” moment. He’s been very vocal about his decision to stay. Bama has been very quiet about it and hasn’t days anything to dispute it. In other words, he really did turn them down. I don’t think it’s a No to Bama, s as much as it is a Yes to Oregon. If you have listened to him the last couple of years, he loves it there, and it sounds like his family wants to stay as well.

From the sounds of it, DeBoer was the fourth name down. The first three all said No thank you.

And when all Saban’s recruits are gone he will leave for the NFL.

Jealous.

Oregon is still Nike University, that won’t change. They have a contact with each other. Do you honestly think Knight hasn’t set it up that Oregon will continue to receive aid after he’s gone? Phil and Penny have no heir since they lost their son. Knight has poured over a billion dollars into the university and the sports program. His love for Oregon is in trust funds!

Then we are rapidly approaching the best teams money can buy.

@@jimedick9496 who cares if he does alot of rich donors always sets aside money after they pass you really need to get over Phil knight.

@@YoshiYosheda You really think that after pouring over a billion dollars into his beloved University, that he’s going to leave them high and dry? Wishful thinking their sunshine. Oregon is set for life, even after he’s gone.

Are you just bitter?😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Deion would have left in a hurry if he was already offered. Don’t worry Colorado fans, he will not be offered by top programs unless he proves himself to be a good coach. He’s not there yet.

@@ODUCKSFAN1 100%

Never gonna happen

Keep dreaming buddy! 😅😅😅 this is hilarious. Just move on, Dan is our guy and never went to Bama. Just accept the facts.

Well your source blatantly lied to you...

@@Noahvon503 I was not at all saying I cared whether lanning was hired or not I was just repeating what I heard I do not need to dream….

He was watching Borne movie with one of his sons..lol

@@sonofrobert I’m not picking up what you’re putting down elaborate

Bama fans can’t accept the shine is gone. Saban was the brand, not Bama itself. You settled for a coach.

Hmmm, then why hasn’t the AD spoken out against it? Wouldn’t he want to protect the image of Bama if it wasn’t true? The silence is deafening

Except next year when UW sucks now that your coach bolted 😅😅😅

​@@YoshiYosheda It's not their coach, they lost Penix and their receivers and will struggle now.

How is he chicken??? Because he took a gamble on hisself and decided to try and do something no coach has done which is bring a natty to Oregon??? He has everything Alabama has to be successful so how is he chicken pls defend this statement 😂😂

Maybe Kirby should go to Bama with that logic. You ever think maybe it was Saban who attracted people to Bama and now that he’s gone… it’s just another blue blood program? Nothing more than the other high level programs. Don’t project your incapability to stay committed to something on others. Lanning is happy here in Oregon.

KateSims, your comments, do not sound genuine, About Lanning, and certainly not about Kirby Smart, are you trying too generate some type of buzz ??? If so GTFOH

This post is the exact reason someone with a brain wouldn't go coach at Alabama. The silly presumption that no one could possibly turn down BAMA is the arrogance and entitled sewer that would keep wise people away from that arrogant fan base. Watch BAMA slowly come down to earth over the next few years and become just another good program.

Alfa… Roll tide 😂😂

Lol. Phil Knight is worth 50 Billion. You're right, money does talk, and Knight is fully sold on Lanning's capabilities.

Substance, since he scored the top WR in the transfer portal immediately after.

He just scored again with the #2 defensive lineman in the portal a great hours ago! Actions speak louder than words.

so? washington was a very elite team this year

Lost to a team that made the natty?

Washington only advantage on us this year was those receivers we didn’t have corners or safeties that could run and cover those guys 😂😂😂😂other than that we outplayed Washington everytime

Is that jealousy of our coach and program i see in the comment? Lol GO DUCKS

@@Ducks4Life91 gotta win
