Sure, I'll admit it, I would have love to have seen Chip back at Oregon. I got really excited at the thought. But Oregon did their homework on this one and I think with all the resources Oregon had with this search and investment in the search, I think Oregon AD Rob Mullens found and made a great hire! I think Lanning is going to be an incredible coach that will elevate this program even more!
I am really excited to start the Lanning era, I can't wait to see the recruits he brings in, how he develops our current defense, which is loaded with talent, the more and more I look at this hire the more and more excited I get with the endless amount of potential this could be. This may very well be the hire we look back on in 3-5 years and simply go, "Wow."
