Finally Admit Lanning > Mario

We have a running bit in some of my canes group chats where I ask “imagine if Mario did that” when other random coaches have terrible losses or horrid in game decisions that immediately get swept away by media and fans. I have never extended that to “imagine CIS if Mario did that” but after reading this hypothetical might have to lmao

@RVACane What do I need to do to become a Maude so I can ban this offensive language for life?

There was also that little problem of Mario not adapting to the portal... Remember when all Manny players sucked and the portal wasn't sustainable...only can build a roster through high school recruiting... yet, pretty much all the good players on the 2024 team were Manny players or Portal guys

Thank god Mario was smarter than his slurpers and adapted... Then winning (another mope goal) came along and it helped the pulse of the team, recruiting and everything. Stunning really...

I think it is the gayest **** to bump these thread four or five years down the line when all of the so-called MOPES were sniper accurate in a criticism of Mario’s first four years

He won 10 games in year 3 and played for the Natty in year 4.

If that’s sniper accurate, I’d hate to see the misses.

This is a statement some of you guys like to make and it’s not reflective of what actually happened and @Rellyrell has provided the information previously.

It’s true, Mario left Oregon with a better roster than Manny left at Miami, however, Lanning flipped Mario’s roster quickly and at a large clip… I think 40% in year 1 - actually more than Mario flipped at miami in year one but Relly can confirm if that’s correct.

The premise that Lanning was only successful initially at Oregon because of Mario’s roster is not supported by the makeup of the Oregon roster during those times.

Lanning wasn’t initially successful simply because of the roster he inherited, he was successful because of the PROGRAM he inherited.

For the better part of the past two decades, Oregon has been a top tier program. Maybe not absolutely elite but just outside of the elite programs. They had a short stint where they fell off and made some “questionable” hires but by the time Lanning had taken over, those problems had already been fixed. By Mario.

I don’t think Dan Lanning is as bad as the haters here make him out to be nor do I think Mario is as bad as his haters like to paint him either.

I think this is a very fair and reasonable take.
