After a pregame speech from Dan Lanning went viral ahead of Oregon’s game against Colorado on Saturday, Nick Saban shared his thoughts on the intent behind the message.

Lanning was an assistant at Alabama in 2015, so Saban knows him well.

Saban believes that the speech was a good thing for his team to hear, but doesn’t think it should have gotten out of the locker room the way it did. For Saban, the speech raises the question of where does media access go too far. He shared his thoughts on The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday.

“I understand what Dan Lanning was trying to say, and it was probably good for his team to hear in some ways, but it probably wasn’t good for everyone else to hear, and that’s always the argument,” Saban said. “Where do you draw the line and say, ‘Ok there’s got to be sometime when you can talk to your team and say what you have to say and it’s really for everyone else to hear.'”

Saban believes that the media can be a great way to send a message, but in the case of Lanning’s speech, it wasn’t the right moment to have media in the locker room.

“In the modern world, I think you can use the media to send a message to your team,” Saban said. “I don’t think you need to do that right before the game. That’s something you do on Monday when you talk to the press or whatever and you want to get a message out there because your team’s going to hear that message, so you can reinforce it in a team meeting, but you want everybody to be thinking that way, and sometimes you want your fans to be thinking that way too so that rat poison doesn’t get to them.”

Luckily for Lanning, he managed to back the speech up with a big win over the Buffaloes, and the Ducks will be looking for another big win this week against Stanford.
