Tosh Lupoi breaks year-long Twitter silence with epic video following Oregon announcement
Oregon made it official on Monday, announcing Tosh Lupoi as their next defensive coordinator. There was only one way to celebrate for Lupoi — breaking his silence on Twitter.
After a year-long silence, Lupoi took to the Twittersphere to post an awesome video of the Ducks in an epic turn of events.
As you can see, Lupoi knows how to utilize Twitter, and is excited to make the trek to Eugene. Additionally, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning spoke glowingly about Lupoi on Monday.
“I am incredibly excited to have Tosh Lupoi joining us here at Oregon,” Lanning said, via the program’s wesbite. “We want to play championship-level defense on a consistent basis, and Coach Lupoi is one of the very best defensive minds in the country.
“I am looking forward to seeing him work with student-athletes again after spending the last few seasons in the NFL, experience that will be very valuable for our program.”
After five seasons as a defensive assistant at Alabama, Lupoi tried his hand at the NFL. In 2019 he was with the Cleveland Browns, then spent 2020 with the Atlanta Falcons and 2021 with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, he’s taking his talents to Oregon.
Prior to joining Alabama, Lupoi made his name as an assistant in the Pac-12. The intelligent defensive mind made waves with programs like California and Washington. Now, Dan Lanning and Tosh Lupoi will look to lead Oregon into a new era of success.
Lupoi: ‘I am really excited to return to college football at one of the premier spots in the nation.’
Furthermore, Tosh Lupoi couldn’t contain his excitement to return to the sport he made his name in. Not only is Lupoi returning to college football, but he’s taking over the defense of a premier program in the sport.
“I want to thank Coach Lanning for the opportunity to come to the University of Oregon and join the terrific staff he has put together,” Lupoi said. “I am really excited to return to college football at one of the premier spots in the nation, where we will work tirelessly to provide the very best experience for our student-athletes.
“We will do everything we can to help them reach their full potential as both football players and quality young men. Coach Lanning is building something special in Eugene, and I cannot wait to be a part of it. Go Ducks!”
Dan Lanning is looking to build something special in Eugene. With coaches like Tosh Lupoi on his staff, his goals become much more clear.
