Log Haulin No. 1 Share Posted November 13, 2023 If I were Lanning I would take a close look at the aTm job. I would have indepth conversations with the brass at both universities. Oregon is solid but aTm checks all the boxes. Every coach in the country knows this is true. It's why Jimbo took the job. Lanning owes it to his family to look at this job more that just casually. I hope Lanning stays put but I have my doubts. Oregon is a great program that is up and coming as a CFB power. aTm is different though and should be taken seriously. Just one mans opinion.

Haywarduck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted November 13, 2023 All one has to do is look at the coaching history of the two schools and realize one is a coaching trap, and the other is a coach maker. Not to say Lanning isn't talented, but Oregon fosters coaches into greatness, TAM puts coaches into foster care. If he wants to win, raise a family in a stable atmosphere, and grow as a coach, there is no better place. My bet he is a man of his word, and word is he is staying. 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would actually be wise to only come to Oregon if you want to stay, this isn't so much a stepping stone program as a landing point. If you are wanting to move up, start else where. If you are just running through, it isn't going to end well. One might even say Bellotti went into a funk after flirting with sc back in 2000.

47sgs No. 10 Share Posted November 13, 2023 If I were Texas A&M, I wouldn't fire a coach with a $75M payout without having a definite game plan and some ideas about who I could get and what I was going to do.. I realize by starting now, they're ahead of the end of season firings, but I would still want to have an idea of who would be interested. It seems to me that there would already have been behind the scene conversations with potential candidates prior to the firing, but maybe that's not how it works. Maybe Lanning has already been contacted, or maybe he isn't even one of their top candidates. Everything we've heard is just media speculation based on potential candidates successes. Lanning is very young and still has a lifetime of coaching ahead of him. I just don't see him jumping ship with the way our program is progressing at this point in his career.

Ktmguy2018 No. 15 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I am not sure why people think that Texas A&M is that great of a gig. Yes, it's in the SEC and a few years back Jimbo brought in a great recruiting class. But aside from that, this program has been a middle of the road program for two decades. They had a Big12 title (when they were still in that conference) back in 1998 and in their first year in the SEC, they were 11-2. The COVID year they were 9-1. But going back to their entry into the Big12 in 1996, aside from the previously mentioned years; this program has been a 9-4, 8-5, 7-6 type of program year in and year out. Yes, they have the OCCASIONAL glory win over a high ranked team but they have not had an measure of noteable success. This link is for reference to their records: Texas A&M Aggies College Football History, Stats, Records | College Football at Sports-Reference.com WWW.SPORTS-REFERENCE.COM Check out the Texas A&M Aggies College Football History, Stats, Records, Polls, Bowls and More College Football Stats at Sports-Reference.com With Oregon moving to the Big next year, I would actually see this as a step backward for DL. He is on the edge of a Pac-12 championship, a CFP berth, and there are more than a few analysts saying Oregon could win it all. THAT is becoming the standard at Oregon. Lanning is a part of something special here and I don't see him making a move to a middle of the road program. Let's not forget that he has been with several programs where the coaches have had success by staying.... I DO think that Oregon/PK should set him up VERY WELL and make sure he is locked in for a very long time. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the potential to be a top 8 or so job. Unlimited resources, huge pay, ripe recruiting grounds, plays in the SEC, huge stadium with reliable attendance, the thing you don't have is it doesn't matter what you do, you'll always be considered number 2 to Texas, it doesn't even matter if you are the better team, you'll always be number 2 to the lead university in the state. I would get it if Lanning decides to leave, I'm always wondering about how coaches that are not from the west coast are going to react to the different culture around here, everything doesn't revolve around football in this part of the world like it does does in Texas or the Southeast or even parts of the midwest. This isn't mentioning the political climate. I'm not as worried about him leaving as I was Mario or Willie though since he isn't returning to a place he knows. I think it's going to be Elko or Traylor, barring those two I would look at Leipold. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he has that part of life exactly where it needs to be. The people of Oregon, even my Beaver friends love the guy. Except of course in 2 weeks.

If he gets to the playoff, I'd expect that to get bumped up again in the $10M a year range regardless of the ATMs lurking out there.

If it's a few years down the road and Lanning has established Oregon as a national top 5 power in the B1G with a trophy in the case, I don't know if any program at the college level will be a threat. At that point Lanning will be fully entrenched as an Oregon Duck. Probably looking to build a legacy as Saban did at Bama. I think Lanning is capable of Saban status, only needed element is time.

Augduck No. 35 Share Posted November 13, 2023 All Dan has to do is ask Marshall Malchow about life at TAMU. There's many reasons why Malchow left and I'm sure Dan has some pretty good insights already. If Jeff Traylor gets that job then maybe Stein makes a lateral move and goes back to Texas but it's also a pretty major rebuild there and that fan base or as one of my Texas friends calls it, 'that cult' is not patient. Jimbo had a good thing going at FSU and jumped for money. Look at what that got him. As Dan says, the grass is damn green in Eugene. Hope he continues to think that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 36 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Jimbo takes the aTm job, lands the 1st ranked recruiting class and then coaches them to 5-7 and (so far) 6-4 records. Small wonder they would want to land a HC that could develop talent instead of squandering it. I just don't see DL wanting to leave what he is building at Oregon for a couple extra mill a year and the headaches that taking that program on would entail. Sure, when Saban (sooner) or Smart (later) step away, expect those programs to come after Lanning full throttle. We can all worry then. The concerns about losing Stein seem legit, but propably not just a lateral move to another OC job. The day will come where he gets a HC gig. The Ducks will be OK. There was some consternation about losing Dilly to the ASU job and look how that is turning out. As I mentioned on another thread, my vote is for Lame Kitten. Although I find it funny that his own son Knox, a 2028 QB prospect (so that makes him like, thirteen?), was in Eugene for the U$C game. The Dad joked that he was worried Oregon was recruiting his own kid. Let aTm throw $100M at replacing their coach. I don't think DL will nibble, much less bite.

Haywarduck Moderator No. 37 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Another item to observe is how Dan handles all this talk. This is the first big job where he is seriously mentioned, how will he respond? The idea Lanning is a candidate for a major coaching position will happen again and again, we will see how he handles this one. We should be able to expect the same going forward, and will also be able to compare if something is amiss. Stein would be crazy to leave for Texas A&M, but I also thought Dilly was crazy to head to ASU. My Oregon centric glasses aren't flawless, but I do enjoy the view!

Drake Moderator No. 38 Share Posted November 13, 2023 From the view of an agent, Dan Lanning is a hot commodity. This is a dream client and his agent knows that Oregon will get a bump in media revenue when they go to the BIG. Dan will get his money no matter whether he stays, or goes elsewhere. It really comes down to DL’s personal goals and family interests. In the college football world I think that you should never take for granted that one of your top employee’s is a happy employee. However, an employer can’t have a gun held to their head every time another opportunity arises. Dan has a great opportunity to win a National title at Oregon. Oregon will be competitive with contract negotiations, NIL money and other resources. If that isn’t enough, then what is enough? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
