Oregon head football coach Dan Lanning mourned the death of Ducks mega-fan Charlie Kirk on Saturday, just days after the conservative influencer and organizer was murdered at an event in Utah.

During a passionate press conference after his team’s victory over Northwestern, Lanning said he agreed with Kirk on a number of issues and disagreed with him on several others.

“We talked about it with our team, and I think our team feels the same way, regardless of views,” said Lanning. “I don’t think they feel anybody ever deserves to experience what some people in our country are experiencing right now. It’s super disappointing.”
