If Florida's DC Todd Grantham is worth $1.8 million per year, then Lanning is worth at least $2.2 million per year, pay the man.

Good news. Dan’s stock should only rise. I don’t think his next move will be for a college coordinator position, it will be as a college head coach or maybe an NFL coordinator. I’m interested to see what Sark can establish at Texas. I’m not sure why Texas can’t get its groove back but Herman is a dang good Coach. Something ain’t quite right in Longhorn country. In a State full of high school talent, Oklahoma and A&M are out recruiting the Longhorns in Texas right now.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is great news. And just imagine how many recruits are happy to hear that coach Lanning is staying. I know it's hard to do sometimes, but if a coach is worthy of being on your staff, you do whatever you can to keep him around. And coach Lanning is worthy! Sometimes, a golden opportunity arises somewhere else, and you can't blame a coach for leaving. But to me, this just wasn't one of those opportunities. Not taking the same position he has now. I could see him leaving to become the head coach there, or leaving for a crazy amount of money, though. Not for the same position. Coach Lanning is still young, that golden opportunity will come before too long.
This is Great News!
GO DAWGS!

Lanning is doing just fine, and he'll be the first to say so. Earns 7 figures at age 34, lives in one of the most livable (beautiful, fun, inexpensive) towns in the country, and has the best tools (people and accommodations) in the business with which to do his business. A few more years of comparable success, and he'll be able to write his own ticket. Yes, Lanning's using both his head and his heart, and in fact is likely pinching himself. Go Dawgs!

Kirby once said Nick told him if you leave make sure it’s a better job, like a HC. Don’t make a lateral move for the same position.
I think Lanning got the same advice from Kirby.

Good news with all the positivity coming out with all the buy in with players returning; to lose him would have been a buzz kill for the players I'm sure. 2021 or bust!

Why the flocking heck woulda post a trolling comment? A clue: DAWGs are tuned UP, and you 're not in the choir.

Didn't understand why he would be interested in another DC job unless he wanted to show what he could do on his own without Kirby's influence.

Great that he is coming back. We are going to need him with all the changes in the secondary. Also with the number of defensive players coming back like Jordan Davis, it would not be good if their DC bailed for a lateral move. I think this signals two things: 1) Lanning will be getting a big raise, and 2) he is likely gone for a HC position this time next year. That is assuming of course that the Dawgs have the type of season everyone expects they can have next year. Go Dawgs!

I'm sure Lanning will get a raise after this season, and other teams showing interest. He deserves it.

What a testimony to Kirby Smart, the Georgia defensive talent and dominance, and the DawgNation! We're set for a tremendous year in 2021. Dan Lanning will do a wonderful job with this years defensive talent. All of DawgNation should be looking forward to a season to a season, the likes of which, we haven't seen since 1980. GO DAWGS!!!

I think it was a smart move for Lanning and great for himself and UGA. It doesn't make sense to move from one DC position to another if his goal is to be a head coach somewhere. He has a great reputation and he will continue to improve upon that at UGA. Moving to another program as a DC would not improve his chances of getting the head job somewhere else. If he keeps doing what he's doing, he will have his choice of HC jobs just as Kirby Smart did. This offer from Texas should get him some leverage the next time they discuss his compensation.

Thank you Lanning for your loyalty to CKS, UGA and your players! It is wonderful and refreshing to see a leader pursue the most important things in life over monetary or career gain.
