Finally Admit Lanning > Mario

Advertisement
Lanning is a good coach. Not great, but good. Still has potential to grow. What I hate is Oregon and west coast fans acting like Mario wasnt good for them. Like he held them back? People forget Oregon tried keeping Mario - pretty sure they matched the contract we offered and said you’ll get a significant upgrade in NIL.

You know what Oregon is great at? Marketing

This.

If duck fans want to say Lanning is a better cpach than Mario, so be it. But to completely dismiss Mario as if he did nothing there during his time is crazy.
 
Many on here say Mario left Lanning a great situation, but the #s say otherwise as far as # of transfers Lanning has made in his tenure to improve his roster. This was year 3 of Mario and Lanning is running circles around him again. Oregon got the better of the deal with Mario coming here

I don’t know who’s the better coach yet, but if Mario would have stayed at Oregon and had Nike money for NIL, I personally think he would have built a better roster than Lanning has. I know Miami has a great NIL/Collective, and Mario has built the best roster in the nation, but that Nike NIL may be a little better.

Saying that, better coach? Would a Mario NIL roster in Oregon lose to Indiana at home? I don’t think so, but again that doesn’t mean Mario is a better coach. But he sure as **** can assemble a better roster.

And I don’t know why I wrote that in italics. That alone should get a down vote and a couple clown reacts.
 
no idea why people consider lanning an excellent coach

Michigan gifted him a big 10 title last year by beating Ohio State in the regular season
 
Oregon still has 5-1 @Washington, 4-2 Minnesota, 4-2 @Iowa 5-1 USC in a row to finish the season. I’m impressed they have gotten what they have out of Moore. I’ll be interested to see if he statistically reverts back to ucla numbers some more. There is a real chance they drop 2 more games.
 
A lot of season left…but Oregon is top 3 in resources.

They lost due to coaching today.

Yes, IU looked like the better coached team and will look that way most Saturdays.

Oregon also doesn't have the talent edge or physicality to overcome what they lacked in coaching Saturday.

The OL/DL play has regressed most notably (6 sacks given up vs 1) and they do't have the high-end skill talent outside that TE.

OP's casual take is the perfect example of dik-riding Lanning without appreciation for the foundation that Mario left or what it takes to build a program.

Lanning went unbeaten and won the B1G last season and lost to the eventual national champions in the playoffs. Can we please wait and see if Mario gets out of November alive before we dance smh

There's no need to wait.

The quality of play has clearly regressed in one program and and elevated in the other, with one common denominator.
 
It was a premature take.

If you watch the games you'd see who the better coach is in year 4.
Nah, you didn’t read it. You’re assuming it was a post that said Lanning > Mario. Go back and actually read @Rellyrell ‘s post and tell me how you could think his post was a “premature take”
