Watch: Dan Lanning discusses rematch with Alabama, what he will bring to Eugene

By night, Oregon’s newly-hired head coach is assembling a high-caliber coaching staff and getting the ball rolling on recruiting.

Lanning spoke with reporters via Zoom for what will likely be his final interview as a Georgia staffer. He spoke for nearly 20 minutes and fielded a variety of questions regarding everything from the rematch with the Crimson Tide, to how his success at Georgia might translate to Eugene.
“One of the big benefits of being at Oregon is it’s a national brand,” Lanning said. “We can go anywhere in the nation and be able to sign players. I think you can just bring that relentless pursuit that we operate with day in and day out (at Georgia) and the organization behind it; we can bring the mentality with how we play football, to a certain level.”
