WATCH: Oregon HC Dan Lanning & wife Sauphia go all out in support of Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs while enjoying "pretty epic weekend"
Oregon head coach Dan Lanning had the time of his life with his wife Sauphia in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl LVIII game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
Leaving no doubt about who they were supporting, the Ducks coach posted a reel on Instagram featuring glimpses of his past two days.
The adorable couple, who were enjoying the boat ride, also went fishing, with Sauphia posing with a large fish she caught. Lanning and his wife later posed with Georgia Bulldogs defense coach Glenn Schumann and his wife Lauren at the WM Phoenix Open.
Sauphia enjoyed the sands as she looked radiant as ever in her beach picture, rocking big sunglasses. Last but not least, the couple expressed their support for the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs, dressed in all red at the Allegiant Stadium. Lanning captioned his reel:
"Pretty epic weekend with great friends!"
The Chiefs went on to win Super Bowl LVIII after defeating the 49ers 25-22 in overtime.
