Awesome game environment, great facilities, beautiful woman,NIL, top program, fun city…

Awesome game environment - their stadium's capacity is 54,000.  That's indicative of the interest in Oregon Football in Oregon.

..but go on, "do something different".

Oregon has won out on the key recruits I. This cycle.  EAS video game seems to rank Oregon higher in several categories.  Other than $$$ what in the world is making Oregon attractive to recruits?  (Asking for a friend)

Everybody loved this coach when he said “They're playing for clicks, we're playing for wins.” 

I concur with Bobby. I would further add that he has a definite personality that attracts people. He’s an Alpha.

Thinking that you have answered your own question. Knight's checkbook is WIDE open with no spending limit

I will give you that the Oregon coach is better than Jimbo Fisher, but when recruits are taking the money over the school, then it hardly works out. You can't buy a locker room culture, though Oregon thinks you can.

MaT thought the same.  didn't work out so well for them did it?  $70M later........

At least they have Jimbo's national championship trophy to brag about.......oh wait!.....nevermind.🤣

It only doesn’t work out when you have a guy who doesn’t instill culture. Lanning is a big time coach and runs his program the right way. He learned from one of the best and he’s disciplined. Recruits have been going to schools for decades for under the table cash and those players were winning titles at schools like Clemson, Alabama, and Ohio St. 

 

I wish Texas fans a whole would stop this talk about mercenaries and that. It’s the landscape, you think there aren’t guys on our current roster who chose us for a NIL package?

NIL is  the biggest reason 

They have always had the flashy uniforms. 
 
 

Speaking as someone that's worked in education 10+ years I can tell that whenever I asked kids who their favorite college teams were it was always the same answers. For basketball it was Kentucky or Duke and for football it was always Oregon and Alabama. The Alabama reason was obvious but all the kids loved the Oregon uniforms and all their variations. Now with NIL and the even deeper affiliation with Nike, Oregon being kids' favorite schools is now translating to commitments imo.

I can say as a kid I was a big fan of Cincinnati basketball coached by Bob Huggins because of their uniforms and relationship with Jordan brand in the late 90s/early 2000s.

He's been a head coach for two years.  He was a DC for two years under Kirby Smart (in other words, he had a pretty easy DC job).

I don't think we necessarily know what type of coach Lanning is or how he runs his program.  In fact, it looks like he may be running his program a lot like Jimbo.

This is copium at its finest. You sound brain dead trying to compare the two.

How about you simply saying, You respectfully disagree instead of insulting the guy.  Is it really necessary?  From the outside it is really tough to read that statement and not be uncomfortable.  Hook'em!
