Dan Lanning Says He’s Staying at Oregon, Shuts Down Coaching Overtures

His contract structure, including a reported $20 million buyout, makes a move improbable.

Overview

  • On The Rich Eisen Show, Lanning said his interest in other jobs is "zero" and added he expects to remain at Oregon "as long as I win."
  • Lanning is 42-7 in his fourth season with the Ducks, who won the Big Ten in 2024, made the College Football Playoff and sit 7-1 during a bye week.
  • Oregon amended his deal in March to run through January 2031 with performance-based extensions, and his compensation ranks among the nation’s highest.
  • On3 has reported an estimated $20 million buyout for any school trying to hire him away, a figure widely cited as a deterrent.
  • Despite openings at LSU, Florida, Penn State and others, analysts note Oregon’s resources and stability make poaching Lanning a long shot.
