Dan Lanning Shuts Down Coaching Rumors, Says He’s Not Leaving Oregon

Program backing plus a steep buyout make a departure unlikely.

Overview

  • Pressed on The Rich Eisen Show, Lanning said his interest in other jobs is “zero” and stated he is not leaving Eugene.
  • His name surfaced for openings such as LSU and Penn State after recent coaching changes, prompting renewed speculation.
  • Lanning is 42–7 in his fourth season at Oregon, including a 2024 Big Ten title and sustained College Football Playoff contention.
  • Oregon extended Lanning in March and, per On3’s Pete Nakos, an estimated $20 million would be required to pry him from the Ducks.
  • He emphasized continuity for staff and players, confirmed Dante Moore’s bloody nose is not expected to linger, and the No. 6 Ducks are on a bye before visiting Iowa on Nov. 8 with Brock Thomas next up if needed.
