Mutual Interest between Auburn and Dan Lanning?

Normally I wouldn’t even post about this but with our recent history I can’t help but be worried and wonder. Seen some reports Lanning is interested in the Auburn job and may depart for it soon. Probably false rumors but again, recent history makes me worried.

There are no reputable sources here except fans some Auburn fans making stuff up.

If UGA or the chiefs become open, then illl worry. Not a team that is only the second best job in its own state, and like 6 in the sec.

Rule of thumb, if you ever have to ask yourself 'should I post this'? The , answer is a simple one, don't.

This also reeks of 'typical Auburn' and also one of their major problems, they think everyone is interested in that job. Everytime they have an opening, every successful, major college coach wants the job, according to every Auburn source.

I'm glad it was posted, and we would be dumb to not take the threat seriously after losing the last two coaches to other schools from the same region. Losing Lanning at this juncture would typecast Oregon as a stepping stone school. Hopefully the Oregon A.D. was smart enough to put a big buyout or some other kind of poison pill in Lanning's contract.

This is absolutely insane to even bring this up right now.

Auburn will be looking for a coach with a long strong history of proven success. Lanning doesn't check any of their boxes at this point.

Thanks! This is a forum after all, the point of a forum is discussion. I’m not making claims or claiming to have sources, just posting this for discussion and yeah cause of how Willie and Mario left I am a little worried when I shouldn’t be.

This may be true, but they may not find that. The real question is bigger than Auburn having an opening. Lanning has done a remarkable job in his first year. He’s going to be on some short lists very soon. This is going to come down to what Lanning wants , if not this year then next..

If Lanning continues on this trajectory he will eventually outgrow Oregon but this ain’t it. And out of the last 3 coaches we’ve had I think he’s the most likely to stay for a while.

You have to remember our past two coaches left for their alma mater and hometown school. It’s not like we’ve been getting ditched for the first school that came calling.

I get that discussions that might not be popular amongst the fans do need to happen. However, I'm not sure it's good to bring up distractions especially in the late part of the year when Oregon is competing for so much. I hope everyone can remain positive with that nothing to lose attitude that we all had after the Georgia game. Oregon is still the underdog with nothing to lose so keep that mentality!

The list of coaches who have left after only 1 season is VERY short and it's not a list you want to be on.

Lanning is a smart guy, who won't jump to anything after only 1 season.

A guy Auburn should look at is the current head coach at UCF. Gus Mahlzan.

I love what Lanning has done at Oregon so far and I hope he stays a long time. That said, I can't imagine anyone at another major school wanting him until he's had continued success for at least 2-3 years. There's no way to know how good he'll be bringing in at least a couple more recruiting classes, without a great QB, a good OL etc.

I thought that if he were looking to jump back to the SEC, TA&M might be the destination, simply because they're loaded with talent.
