Good piece, JC. When hiring a head coach I think the coach's ability to develop, nurture and motivate the players he has should be at least as important as his ability to recruit. Jonathan Smith is a case study. He generally doesn't get the players most highly regarded by the recruiting rankings. But he turns the ones he gets into good college football players. And he is a good strategist on game day. You can say the same about Utah coach Kyle Whittingham.

I was mad at Lanning too. Last night. I don’t know too many Duck fans who weren’t mad. About something. Anything. The 4th and 1 give to Nix was one of my peeves. Sunday brings calmer nerves. I certainly hope no one is seriously considering firing Dan Lanning. I see great potential in him. I like him. Let cooler heads prevail. Do what OSU did yesterday. Never give up. Never give in. Get back up and continue the good fight!
