Dan Lanning doesn’t do everything the way Nick Saban used to do it.
However, the Oregon coach’s one-year stint in 2015 under the former Alabama coach left one lesson over all other etched in his brain, and it can be summed up in one word: Consistency.
“I just always felt that he’s always got a rubric of every situation and how you handle this, how you develop this,” Lanning told Greg McElroy on the “Always College Football” podcast. “The one thing I always learn from coach is how consistent he was in everything he did.
“On Tuesday, I’m gonna to meet with this position group at this time.
“I would say that’s not necessarily me, right? We’re similar in the sense there’s things we want to do things consistently. But it’s always good to take a backseat, pick his brain a little bit on how is it developing leadership in young guys. ‘Here’s the three things that I did, Dan,’ and walk me through that.”
Lanning certainly has seen a track record for success. The Ducks are coming off a Big Ten title, and the coach has an impressive 35-6 overall record in three seasons.
“I’m always gonna lean on the best to do it when it comes to things like that,” Lanning said.
