FishDuck Article Administrator No. 1 Share Posted 5 hours ago Dan Lanning has put together an undefeated season so far at 11-0 and the Ducks are effectively a lock for the College Football Playoff, though their seeding has yet to be determined. He has done this through brilliant recruiting, player development and being just a bit mad in the process. Mr. FishDuck took a break from his fun at 5 ...

30Duck No. 2 Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) David, thanks for giving us a great spread of Mad Dan to start the morning! Contrasting it with the bland offerings on Dull Day's table makes it perfect. Because it was executed against osu2 the onside kick is my favorite, but all of them are delicious! Now crazy Chef Dan has us licking our lips waiting for what tantalizing treat awaits the pups from up north? Edited 1 hour ago by 30Duck 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 3 Share Posted 1 hour ago Maybe there is a rule in the coaches meetings where if a coach says 'what if', everyone has to lean in and hear him out. I mean some of these ideas has to be stuff most programs would just start shaking their heads and they would send the coach on their way. What if we kick the ball at the player full speed, are you nuts, nobody does that. Maybe we put 12 guys on the field on purpose, come on, we are trying to lower are penalties, stop coming up with this stupid stuff! Hear me out, what if we hike the ball to the DE on a punt, ok stop right now! I think a backup O-lineman might be the best option on a pass play, drug test this guy and get him out of here! On a punt if we only line up the center maybe they will line up somebody on him and get a penalty, now you're just plain nuts, escort this guy out, now! No I am serious and we could have the holder take the ball and run it, it would work, sorry your just in the wrong program, maybe try getting a job at Oregon. I would seriously love to be in the room when some of this stuff is brought up. First we have 'so what, now what' for the players. Now we have 'what if, keep going, hear him out,' for the coaches? I think this is just another iteration of the Nike spirit. I mean, 'what if we use this waffle iron to make the sole of the shoe,' who does that! Mad man Dan is just channeling the original Mad man Bill Bowerman. If he is half as successful then all will be good. Great article and I think Mad Man Dan could only be who he is at Oregon, where innovation and thinking outside the box is the force that drives the program, once again! 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OregonDucks No. 4 Share Posted 33 minutes ago I believe another reason Coach Lanning is practicing and using “trick plays” is to keep the players excited and engaged during a LONG season. As you pointed out, he’s getting defensive and offensive lineman involved in these plays and, if you watch the players on the sideline, they are jumping up and down watching their teammates get the opportunity to get the ball and make a play. It’s an another way to break up the monotony of a long season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
