It’s been barely a week since the Mario Cristobal “era” (if we can call it that) came to an end in Eugene and the Ducks have already secured his replacement, Dan Lanning, who served as Georgia’s defensive coordinator and this season had the Bulldogs playing some of the stoutest defense in the nation.
Lanning is only 35 years old. He has already proven to be an elite-level recruiter. He is full of youthful energy and enthusiasm. One might say he could be viewed as a friend by players who just happen to be coached by him.
If you feel like that’s a description you’ve heard before, you wouldn’t be alone.
