Posted December 24, 2024Dec 24 Moderator How Oregon’s ‘rising star’ offensive coordinator makes football simple, flexible and fun WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Will Stein has emerged as one of the catalysts behind the Ducks’ rise into a national championship...
December 24, 2024Dec 24 Some info in this article surprised me. I thought Dan Lanning had Stein on his secret "I know more than anyone else" OC candidates list. Not sure what I'd prefer: - Dan Lanning having a ready made list of pre-scouted candidates that no one else knows about, OR - Him being able to have a few hours long conversation with someone he didn't know before, but can determine they'll be great. Knowing Lanning, he can, and does, both. Edited December 24, 2024Dec 24 by cartm25

I'm glad he's pretty good at it!
December 25, 2024Dec 25 The article is behind a paywall so I couldn't read it but I remember Coach Lanning saying that he had a short list of coaches. I'm sure that he continues to update it based on what he sees and hears. Never a bad idea, given the constant staff turnovers at the best programs.
