Dan Lanning won’t be next Alabama coach, doubles down on staying at Oregon
ATHENS — Oregon coach Dan Lanning doubled down on his pledge to stay with the Ducks and will not be the next head coach at Alabama.

Quality coach and man right there.
Dan Lanning is the only person I was worried about going to Bama. They can have pretty much anyone else and it becomes much more of a crap shoot.
Good on him.
I just don't see Bama getting a top tier coach. Maybe the guy at TCU or something like that. Their day is done.
They will get a top guy. Think it is Lane Kiffin now. However, maybe offering first and publicly to Lanning will piss Kiffin off and he will say no. One can only hope. I would like to see this go down to their 4th or 5th choice and embarrass the gumps. They need to realize living in Alabama is just not that great.
I think Lane may get an offer, but I don't think he can recruit or keep the Championship runs going. He's just not near as good of a head coach. He's doing great things at Ole Miss, but it's all by using the portal.
Yep. When I saw that headline, I said to myself: "Phew. Dodged a bullet."
Be tough for anyone coming in behind Nick. Expectations high. Heck, Bama has more ridiculous "Natty or Nothing" fans than we have at UGA!
I don't disagree with any of that, Montana. On the other hand , the way things are going, one could argue the portral recruiting could become as important as high school recruiting in the near future.
That said, Kiffin's loose lips may not a be a good fit for Bama. Plus, totally agree that he's not nearly the coach that Saban or Smart is.
Lotta talk about Kiffin, because he's a showboat. But the most capable Saban alums outside of Smart is Sarkisian.
Not sure if he'd leave Texas, however. It's a big resource-rich school with a huge recruiting base, and he finally has gotten things to where he likes it there. Why leave that following the GOAT at a school with an unforgiving fanbase?
He would be crazy to leave Oregon for Bama. He’s got a good situation where he is, it certainly is not as demanding as it is at Bama.
Will be hard for anyone to follow Saban. It was hard to follow Bryant also, look at how many they went through after “Bear” before Saban. It seems like Stallings was the only one they didn’t run off.
If you don’t hit the ground running there, they will be throwing bricks thru your window (Curry) and running your azz off.
Wise decision by Lanning…
Glad to hear he’s staying at Oregon. IMO, he’s the best possible replacement for Saban. Very good coach, excellent recruiter, and a straight shooter. Glad Bama won’t be getting him.
Maybe Bama can get the other Dan - Dan Mullen. I hated it when Florida fired him, but would be very happy if Bama hired him. Not going to happen of course, but one can always hope.
Kiffin, Dabo, DeBoer will get offered in that order but it will be private from here on out because the Gumps don't want to be embarrassed with their pants down.
Also, maybe they take a flier on a pro coach.
Lane will probably get the job and have early success and then turn it into a dumpster fire. He's had 13 jobs since 1997. Longest ever is now here at Mississippi since 2020.
