Dan Lanning is juggling duties between his old job as Georgia’s defensive coordinator, and his new job working as the head coach at Oregon.
During his media session on Monday morning ahead of the Orange Bowl, he explained how he balances the time and tasks at hand.
“You know, I don’t clock in and clock out. We work until the work is done,” he said. “Sometimes that’s later than other nights. We’ve had a couple late nights, but no lack of energy or ability to roll here. I’m excited about the opportunity obviously out there, tremendous opportunity, but our players and coaches here have done a great job of affording me that opportunity, so I’m not going to do a disservice to our guys by not finishing this the right way and the effort that I’ve put in to what we’ve done here.”
He has taken advantage of the time difference, and divide the jobs into different parts of the day.
“You know, I went out one time initially right after getting hired, and really excited about what we’re putting together there,” Lanning said. “My focus, the good thing, again, West Coast being 3 hours behind us has given us the opportunity to be able to really focus on Georgia early on during the day, and then later on at night, able to get a lot of things accomplished there with our team in Oregon and our staff as we’re piecing that together.
A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.
