Oregon Ducks Coach Dan lanning Gives Insight Into His Heart-Warming Interaction With His Parents

Transcript

00:00You got a little emotional, what's that like?

00:07What was that about?

00:08What's that like for you?

00:10When you get to be a part of games like this, I think you start to think intrinsically about

00:17the journey that you've been on and being there, but what brings me joy is the people

00:23that you love that get to enjoy the journey with you, right?

00:26These guys up here, Phil, my parents, for them to get to be a part of a night like tonight,

00:32I know how much that means to them.

00:34That means a lot more to me than any success that I ever have, them getting to be a part

00:38of that success.

00:39Dan, you said at the beginning of this year that this team was talented enough to win

00:46it all, and now you've checked this box on that path.

00:52What has to happen now, do you think, to win another championship this year, and does

00:57it feel more tangible and within reach to you and to your players now that you are here

01:02in this moment?

01:05I'll be honest, it's the furthest thing from my mind right now.

01:08I'm worried about tomorrow.

01:09I'm worried about the next day, the next play.

01:11I think that's how you get there.

01:13If you start putting the end goal inside, I don't think there's any secret what this

01:16team wants to accomplish, but you don't get there by just looking at it.

01:21It takes work, so I'm thinking right now, how can we improve, how can we get better?

01:25There's a lot that we can grow from, from that game, in all phases.

01:29That's really where my focus is at, and I think when you focus on the process, the rest

01:33takes care of itself.
