Smith72 Moderator No. 2 Share Posted December 30, 2021 This is the bio page from Western Kentucky Sounds like he is a good recruiter. With his experience in high scoring offenses he should fit well with Dillingham! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woundedknees No. 3 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Sounds as if the Ducks may need a daycare stipend in their contracts... Several of these coaches have young families. Interesting this guy has been a successful HS OC, but the fact he also acted as a weight room assistant while at Memphis intrigues me. As a former RB, he may have a unique understanding of how to work with S&C coaches cooperatively to get better results for the young men under his tutelage, i.e.: better ability to withstand the wear and tear of the grind that RBs endure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kamikaze Kid Moderator No. 5 Share Posted December 30, 2021 With one year of RB coaching and most of his time at high school, Lanning may want to take up LeMike's offer at least as a consultant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 6 Share Posted December 30, 2021 They should have this guy in the weight room too. You could fit two A. Felds in his shirt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Marsh No. 8 Share Posted December 30, 2021 It will be an interesting hire... Certainly a few of the names released today as targets are super young and don't have much of a reputation to go with them. Not inherently a bad thing at all... But not flashy and not big names. However, what Lanning could be doing here is bringing in some young coaches who could very well become lifers at Oregon. Not every coach wants to be a coordinator or head coach.... So there is a chance a few of these guys being brought in just want to be position coaches at a good school for a long time. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckIt No. 9 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I honestly don't know whether we're supposed to get excited over some of these hires. The other day, Lanning is hiring OL coach from Hawaii. Today, he's hiring the RB coach from WKU. Half of the hires, are acquaintances that either Lanning or Dillingham worked with it in the past. Is this the list of possible candidates that Lanning was jotting down in his phone as a GA, dreaming of the day that he would get to lead and assemble his own team and staff? I hope Lanning is hiring these guys for their skill sets and not just to bring the gang back together for one big happy reunion. I also hope that they can do more than just recruit like MC and actually develop the players' talents and help them to reach their full potential sooner than later. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
