On “Inside Michigan Football” on Monday, Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham offered this somewhat backhanded praise for Lanning:
“Outstanding football coach… Tireless recruiter. He really does a great job recruiting, and it doesn’t hurt that you have $50+ million at your disposal to, in essence, outbid everybody.”
When Lanning was asked about these remarks the following day, he said:
“They’re spending more of their money right now on their coaches that they’re letting go, so maybe it makes it hard to sign players. But I know they’ve signed a couple of guys that we weren’t able to compete with what they decided to do, and maybe a lot of that money is tied up for them in another player. I don’t know.”
That response garnered much fan support:
Dan Lanning gets candid on Dylan Raiola’s development as Oregon starter
In the same press conference on Wednesday, Dan Lanning shared his thoughts about how far Dylan Raiola has progressed as a starting quarterback:
“I think he’s been a really good preparer throughout the season. But I did feel like I saw a difference when we were watching one reel. … Every time that happened last week, Dylan immediately was calling out the coverage before the ball was even snapped, recognizing alignments. I think that’s really helped him.”
He continued:
“He’s had that same breath and mindset this week. But he also looks back at that game and says, ‘Okay, here’s a really big growth moment. Here’s where I can really get better.’ … So his preparation, I’ve really liked watching it and seeing how he does it. He’s really developing his process, and it’s growing.”
Kickoff for the Oregon-Michigan game is at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT on FS1.
