The best coaches find creative ways to send messages to their team, and my goodness did Dan Lanning find a way to do just that before this past weekend's matchup with Michigan.
Lanning utilized a clip from the epic film Gladiator to send a motivational message to his guys before they took on the defending national champs in The Big House.
Oregon showed up in Ann Arbor and took care of business come Saturday, and with control of the game late, the clip shows Lanning on the headset where he calls a timeout to remind them about his message earlier in the week about the moment the stands start to empty out.
During that timeout, Lanning makes sure his guys take a look around to see the stands emptying out while reciting the movie's most infamous line - "Are you not entertained?"
This one is epic. Put this one in the college football video Hall of Fame folks.
