WSJ has an article too about some random former quarterback who noticed the tell while watching the game. Crazy! I wish Oregon were roaring through its early schedule en route to an epic clash with Ohio State with title aspirations... but that's just not the reality of this season. Dan Lanning screwed it up before it started by failing to find the best people for our coordinator jobs. He didn't even try. I'm not anti-Lanning, he brings a lot of great qualities as a coach, and we've seen him do great things with a competent staff, but ****. These coaches always preach maximum effort, clockwork execution, etc. The problem here is that when it was Lanning's turn to step up and give his best effort to the program, instead he phoned it in by promoting his friends. Here's the simple truth -- even if these hires had turned out to be above-average coordinators right off the bat (which was always going to be a long shot), Lanning STILL would have left better possibilities unexplored. He left money on the table. He didn't even try. At this point we should all be hopeful that Lanning finds the stones to make big boy decisions this offseason. He certainly didn't do that last offseason when he really needed to. So yeah, I'm actually kind of enjoying this moment. I like that the media gets to tee off on Oregon a bit. I love that ANDREW NEMEC, who Lanning loves to playfully belittle, is the one who broke the story about Dante Moore's wild tell. And I love that all Dan Lanning can really do about this is sit there and take it. He SHOULD sit there and take it! Take that medicine, Lanning!!! That dude gets paid way too many millions to sit on his thumbs while making inspirational videos about "giving your best." Love you, Dan, but take your ****ing medicine and like it. Yeah, I'm mad about this, because you didn't have to be a football genius to know Lanning crapped the bed in the offseason, and now we're all paying the price.
