There has been recent buzz that Dan Lanning of Oregon is generating NFL interest as a head coach. First off, it makes total sense to me. The NFL is a copycat league. "What works for one is assuredly going to work for us" is a prevailing mentality.

The No. 1 Oregon Ducks are led by coach Dan Lanning, who is adamant that the "grass is damn green in Eugene." However, coach Lanning's name has been buzzing in the NFL, according to a report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Dan Lanning understands that, in a long college football season, you have to mix it up. It is the driving force behind the Oregon football coach’s oft-viral motivational speeches, including the one against Michigan that evoked Russell Crowe’s character in “Gladiator” and created a memorable moment for his players on the field.
