With Coach Stein taking on the HC position at Kentucky, speculation with start about who the next Oregon OC is.

Right off the top, I don’t think Chip Kelly is coming back in any capacity. I also don’t expect Coach Lanning to promote from within. I could be wrong, but Lanning in two hires hasn’t hired/promoted a coach with no play calling experience.

Three guys I could see as candidates are:

• Corey Dennis (UNLV OC)

• Dean Kennedy (JMU OC)

• Buster Faulkner (GT OC)

These three run offense similar to what is already ran at Oregon. Lanning has made it pretty clear with his first two hires what the style of offense he wants is.

There’s also who seems to be the fan favorite, Jordan Davis (North Texas OC). I think the two systems are too different for him to be the guy, but they could find a way to mesh them.

Coach Lanning could also hire someone none of us are thinking about.

I bet this will happen!!!

Lanning has shown that his little black book is well refined... trust the process.

I have zero doubt Lanning hires the right guy.
