Avast, me hearties! 'Tis a jolly tale I share with ye! Dan Lanning, that brave soul of the Oregon Ducks, did declare on Thursday that he ain't abandonin' ship to sail with the Alabama crew. Arrr, the lad was thought to be a worthy contender to fill the shoes of ol' Nick Saban.
In a hilarious 17th-century pirate language, it be revealed that Dan Lanning, the Oregon football coach, be stickin' with the Ducks despite rumors that he might be tradin' his pirate ship for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Lanning and the Ducks be releasin' a video where he gathers his crew and tells 'em he be stayin' put. He be askin' his players about their goals and remindin' 'em that to achieve those goals, they must be the best where they be at, arrr!Lanning declares in the video, "I be wantin' to be here in Eugene for as long as Eugene will have me. This place be havin' everythin' I could possibly ever want. Some folks be always lookin' for what's next, but the reality be that the grass not be always greener. In fact, the grass be damn greener in Eugene!"
Lanning be makin' waves in Oregon since he took over from Mario Cristobal, who be settin' sail to Miami. He be leadin' the Ducks to nearin' the College Football Playoff, but they lost to the Washington Huskies in the Pac-12 Championship and the regular season. Nonetheless, he be boastin' a record of 22 wins and only 5 losses in the last two seasons.
Meanwhile, Captain Saban declared his retirement, shakin' up the world of college football. But fear not, me hearties, for Lanning be stayin' in Oregon, at least for now. So, let the Ducks continue their plunderin' on the gridiron as they set their sights on more victories and championship treasures!
