Fresh off a national championship win Monday, the University of Oregon’s new head football coach says he’s excited to be in Eugene.
What better way to start a new job than with a major victory at your former job? Dan Lanning just wrapped up his tenure as Defensive Coordinator for the Georgia Bulldogs.
“Right after winning the national championship I was on a Facetime with someone who can enhance our program and make us better,” Lanning said at a virtual press conference Thursday. “So, yeah, absolutely at that moment I was a Duck.”
Lanning has been hiring coaches and recruiting players. And he said he’s excited about the team that’s already in place.
“I think they share a vision that I share of what we can be here and what this program can become,” he said. “And I think they recognize what we’re putting together here; it's really special.”
The Ducks first game next season will be against Lanning’s former team—Oregon plays Georgia September 3rd, 2022.
