Duck 1972 No. 2 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Another great article. Tells you a lot about DL and what and how he is doing. Ty Thompson gave a great take on what he sees. " He's a natural leader". That high praise is very telling. Also he and his team are calm and confident about the 1st game. Bring on the dawgs. They don't have a clue what's about to hit them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Haulin No. 3 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Even if this dude finds out head coach is above his ability, which I highly doubt is the case, I am a fan of Lanning and the type of man he is authenticaly showing everyone he is. I will root a little harder for this years Duck team. I will openly root for Lanning. It will be fun to watch him grow as the season progresses. It was difficult last year when I found myself napping halfway through the third. Hoping this years team shows the enthusiasm, humility and drive for success we see in their leadership. Go Ducks! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
idontrollonshobbas No. 4 Share Posted August 4, 2022 In listening to the various player interviews, from Media Day. Often they were asked about the difference between this year and last. A renewed "love" for the game, the closeness of the team, Coach Dan's football acumen AND emotional IQ are recurrent themes. I think our last coach was reasonably good at the culture stuff, but I think Coach Dan may even be an upgrade in that area....to my pleasant surprise.
