UNDERRATED? Dan Lanning RANKED by ESPN as Top 5 Coach in America, Why That's RIGHT for Ducks' HC
Description
The writing team at ESPN ranked their 10 best coaches in college football, with Dan Lanning coming in at #5--trailing only coaches who have played in or won a national title. Why did one writer put him at 8th?
Today's episode of Locked On Ducks is a crossover with 'Locked On Nittany Lions' host Zach Seyko and 'Locked On Hoosiers' host Jacob Goins. Are there growing comparisons between Dan Lanning and James Franklin's tenure at Penn State?
ESPN released its FPI metrics for the 2026 football season. The sports giant's list is putting far too much respect into the SEC slate of football teams.
