The last time Tyson and Aidan got together for an I-5 Corridor podcast, Mario Cristobal was Oregon’s head coach, the Ducks were about to play for the Pac-12 championship and Twitter wasn’t angling to put us out of business.

So today, we had a bit of catching up to do, beginning with Aidan’s thought’s on the Dan Lanning hire.

“It’s a little late to want to go back to where Oregon’s been.I thought firing Mark Helfrich was a mistake. I thought there was a lot of value in staff continuity and it was a big part of what made Oregon a really special place. But we’re five years removed from that and three head coaches removed from that. I think that was what it was — a great era at Oregon and there was a lot of success, but at this point you want to hire the best guy you can get and Oregon feels like they got that in Dan Lanning.”
