Dan often heaps praise on his wife. During his first press conference as Oregon head coach, he said, “It’s crazy to think that our journey together started about 16 years ago at Outback Steakhouse. I was a server and she was a to-go girl. And next thing you know, we’re sitting here in Oregon. But I love you, I admire your strength and I thank you.”
