Like you've talked about you've talked about, we see this very much the same as well.

Dan Landing at Oregon was my number five coach. And a lot gets said about Dan landing. We've talked about him quite a bit on this channel. Some of it's warranted, I get it. But when you take a look at what he's done, it's clear that I think that he's a top five coach in college football. He's 38 and 5 in the last three years. he's only lost to two teams the last two years,

0:41.7

obviously three losses because they lost to Indiana twice in 2025. Both teams that he's lost through the last two years have gone on to win

0:46.7

national championships. He won the Big Ten and one undefeated in the regular season in his first

0:51.9

year in the conference. And then since he's taken over Oregon,

0:54.3

they've had a 10 win season every year since 2022. We talk about building for the future.

0:59.6

They're recruiting power. They had the number four class in 26 on on three's industry

1:03.1

ranking. They currently have the number seven in 2027 and on three's industry ranking. A lot

1:08.2

of good has come out of the Dan Lanning era at Oregon. Now, one of the things

1:13.9

that's preventing him from keeping him higher, one of them is the exits. I agree that, and this is

1:20.2

what I had a hard time to kind of back up your point of what you're talking about. I had a hard time

1:24.3

to going back and forth between Lannning and Sark.

1:28.0

And it was like, okay, what's the worst loss? Getting absolutely blown out to a really, really good team or losing to a bad team. Yeah. To me, it's always, I'm sorry. This is your segment. Go ahead, Trev. No, you're good, man. You were about to take the words right out of my mouth. I agree with you completely, bro. To me, it's always the bad team.

1:45.4

It's losing to the bad team because sometimes, especially with Oregon in 2024,

1:49.6

you ran into the buzzsaw that was Ohio State.

1:52.1

That was doing that to every team that they played in the playoffs outside of Texas.

1:56.2

And again, where they still won by 14 points, albeit it was closer than the final score indicated.

2:00.2

But I'm with you.

2:01.8

They beat the breaks out of Tennessee. They beat the breaks out of Oregon. And yeah, the final score looked closer against Notre Dame, but at one point it was 31 to 7. Yep. You know, and so that was something that I went back and forth with, but that's by and large nationally. those are some of the big things that plague Dan Landing is, you know, you're going to go lose by 44 again in the playoffs. No, you're going to go lose and get blown out by Ohio State and the in the Rose Bowl again. And I understand those conversations, but when you look at his resume as a whole of what he's done so far since taking over up in Eugene. I really like a lot of

2:34.5

the things that Dan Lending has done. It was a close battle. I'm with you between him and Sark, but I

2:38.1

have Dan Lannin edging it out to crack the top five at fifth. Here's the issue that, so like, to me,

2:45.8

I don't think that there's much of a difference between Dan between uh I do I don't think there's a
