Even with the win, Dan Lanning

Trying not to be too reactionary but Will Stein won me over today

I think Oregon is arguably the best job in the country. Unlimited resources, powerful national brand, easy recruiting, not a lot of pressure (they’ve never won a natty).

I’m from Baton Rouge. If I had a chance to be a millionaire in Oregon or to be a millionaire in Baton Rouge. I’m taking Oregon 1000/1000 times.

Lanning who almost lost to Iowa?

Doesn't he have Nike stock that isn't vested yet? So he just gonna leave 100 million dollars on the table plus whatever Oregon is paying so he can take a higher pressure, higher competition job that pays less?

He was a high school coach 6 years ago. Not sure you want to go from one extreme to another

Do you want a young coach or not? Bc if you go young up and coming then 3 years as an OC at Oregon is about as good as it gets. Under 40 with 5 years of HC experience isn't gonna be found

Younger than Kelly, but not just out of college. Like I said, before this stint at Oregon as a play caller, he doesn’t have much of a resume at all

BTW, I’d look at a few others who are around his age or a little older who’ve learned under other big coaches and then had some success on their own of which there are a few

I getcha. There’s some late 30’s to 40’s coached who’ve done more. Some are now head coaches at G5’s, like Eric Morris at UNT and he was an OC before. Only 40 years old.
I don’t really want a coordinator who hasn’t been one for very long, especially making that big jump into a major head coaching job. If he’s familiar with the program, it’s a little different (see Kirby Smart and some others).
