Lanning is a defensive guy, Mario is an offensive guy. Apples and Oranges. It's very clear that Oregon is going to throw the ball down the field this year. Something the previous staff failed to do.
Kirby is a defensive guy. Monken has slung it all over the yard his entire career as an OC and HC. Still, UGA runs it slightly more often than passing..
Kenny Dillingham really likes to run the ball. A LOT. His time at Memphis shows this.
Lanning Hires Kenny Dillingham As Offensive Coordinator - University of Oregon Athletics (goducks.com)
With Dillingham coordinating the offense, Memphis broke program records for both total yards of offense (7,324) and rushing yards (3,919) in 2018. The Tigers ranked fourth nationally in both total offense (523.1 YPG) and rushing offense (279.9 YPG), seventh in scoring offense (42.9 PPG), and second with 48 total rushing touchdowns. Memphis had two 1,000-yard rushers in a season for the first time in program history, with unanimous all-American and Doak Walker Award finalist Darrell Henderson ranking second nationally with 1,909 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns.
