Why does it seem that the entire college football world doesn’t realize that Dan Lanning is a fraud?…

Everything I read or hear makes it seem like Lanning will get over the hump eventually. It’s just a matter of time. Why? He’s been terrible in big games. He has close to the best talent in CFB and has yet to sniff a national title. Maybe he’ll prove me wrong but this guy seems like a huge fraud. A decent coach with amazing talent (due to the Nike money, which any Oregon coach would have access to.)

- he has fewer whiffs at a national title than Ryan Day had before he won one* - By DoctorD August 30, 2026 at 04:04:12 PM
- Weird take. He’s been there 4 years as first time head coach. Two of those years knocked by NC winner or finalist. Has great talent but no better than other top 10 types* - By harbaughdyssey August 30, 2026 at 02:59:02 PM
- Love him. Man doing rails of coke at half time* - By crumbs August 30, 2026 at 02:47:19 PM
  - He should coach at the U* - By ajs August 30, 2026 at 02:52:18 PM
- Outscored 97-43 in his last two playoff losses. He does have a playoff win. - By LS&Play August 30, 2026 at 02:41:14 PM
  - He also got exposed multiple times vs the mediocre UW team that we beat in the title game.... - By Poster P August 30, 2026 at 03:28:25 PM
    - You know, when you harsh on that Washington team all it does it make your victory in the game less meaningful. Much smarter IMO, to talk abiut the great UW team that UM beat because it elevates the achievement even more. But you do you.* - By Alpo August 30, 2026 at 08:23:43 PM
    - Lol at calling that 14-1 team mediocre. Just need to look at our record vs Oregon to know they are a tough out* - By mtb August 30, 2026 at 04:03:16 PM
  - They also beat Texas Tech 23-0 in the Orange Bowl* - By Rich August 30, 2026 at 02:43:19 PM
    - Was that a playoff game?* - By Poster P August 30, 2026 at 03:29:50 PM
      - Yes, last year* - By Rich August 30, 2026 at 03:59:06 PM
    - Forgot that game existed.* - By LS&Play August 30, 2026 at 02:45:48 PM
  - He is also 48-8 at Oregon and 26-3 the last 2 years. He is 17-1 in the B10. I'd say he's damn good. As for the playoffs - By Rich August 30, 2026 at 02:42:40 PM
    - Best team money can buy... - By Poster P August 30, 2026 at 03:29:33 PM
    - Fraud seems like a mischaracterization. Dan Lanning is one of the best 10 best coaches in college* - By el fuego August 30, 2026 at 02:49:06 PM
