Posted November 16, 2024Nov 16 Administrator My Duck Buddies: I'm looking out the window to see if pigs are flying, because I could not believe what I read on a USC forum. (Below) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dang. The guy gets to just be a coach - which is all these coaches really want to do. If he wants a player he and his staff identify him, and they let the money team close the deal. No hassles / no team chemistry issues / if it doesn’t work out next kid up." "Not saying Lanning is the reason, but Oregon as a program has made some really smart decisions how to operate that aren’t even NIL related. Lanning hired assistants that do recruit and he brought in experienced support staff for development." "Lanning is a relentless recruiter. Riley isn't. Lanning doesn't have it easy, he just puts in the work. He doesn't hire and protect his best friends, he doesn't phone in his recruiting efforts, and he insult the people who buy tickets to the games. Riley makes everything more difficult on himself. They both have the same job, Riley just makes it look harder." "Oregon has been successful with multiple coaches since before NIL. I don't know about them enough to look into why, but safe to say their Athletic Administration gets sports more than ours." "Lanning is a beast on the trail, and he hired beast recruiters as assistants. We have lazy recruiters up and down the staff." "The dude is a workaholic and is one of the most competitive people you would ever meet. He is a winner, plain and simple. A little douchey and slightly unlikable? Yes, but he will always do what it takes to win. He would kill it here at USC." "He’s a relentless recruiter above all, and has made that point during an interview where he was rushing to leave--so he can go recruit." "You have to give him credit. His first game as a HC he faced Georgia and got his a** kicked. Ever since then he worked his a** off to make sure he has everything to succeed." --------------------------------------------------------- Are USC fans at the Grieving Stage of Acceptance?

November 16, 2024Nov 16 Moderator Also, I don't know if he'd, "be killing it" at USC. Sure, he'd do a good job. But Oregon is the perfect place for him, and... "USC ain't Oregon!

November 16, 2024Nov 16 They all secretly have man-crushes on DL and have to say something to make it seem like they don't!! 😂😂😂😂
November 16, 2024Nov 16 Moderator After OBD just defeated tOSU, Lanning was roaming the field like a rabid animal slapping and shoving his assistant coaches around like he was looking for a street fight. Riley's demeanor looks like he's complaining to the maitre d about his fillet min yon. They've got the coach they deserve and so do we.
