Mutual Interest between Auburn and Dan Lanning?

[Alan]

It wouldn’t be football season unless someone wasn’t running around screaming the sky is falling!

[Duck07]

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.

You aren't serious about Malzahn right? (He was the HC before Harsin for a decade)

At A&M they've got a 100M debt anchor tied to the HC.

This fan base has such coaching PTSD

Lanning isn’t going anywhere for a while, he’s got the keys to one of the top programs in the country and we’re the first ones that gave him a chance. That means something to him.

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.

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.

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!

We can get distracted so much we're all ping ponging off the walls. We are fans and have no impact on the outcome of games regardless of our focus or attitude.

This distraction is certainly making UW fans happy!

I assume it’s Freeze, Lane and then everyone else for that job.

And all indications are Freeze will jump on it if offered.

This is a new era there are players that come to these forums. Also, the media is going to ask Lanning about it which does show that our random thoughts we post do trickle up to the media.

This is great news!

[buckmarkduck]

Canzano says Lanning told him he has no interest, and JC was also told by a Auburn source Lanning isn’t on their short list.

Matt Rhule is another coach they may be looking at. He was just fired by Carolina, but did a great job rebuilding Baylor.

[pezsez1]

Lots of people here dislike Canzano but he's been pretty spot-on so far with his takes on realignment and Lanning. It might be that he operates his own column/website now free from third-party oversight. He also has a podcast with Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News, and Wilner is unquestionably one of the top Pac-12 beat writers and a solid sportswriter in general.

First thing I did when I saw that story a day or two ago was check here to see if there was a thread. But then I looked at the "Sports Illustrated" source and saw it was basically an Auburn fan site. Looked around for any substantiation of that story (or even a mention) by anyone credible and found nothing.

Honestly, that means it is nothing.

I don't see anything wrong with having a general discussion about Lanning being a hot commodity on the coaching market, but nobody should worry about him leaving for Auburn. There is zero smoke, just some fan blog.

[lmduck]

Same here Pez.

I looked at the tweet and read the article and it was flimsy at best. Stuff like this always gets traction unfortunately and then someone has to spend time undoing the mess.

Will be interesting to see if DL addresses it tonite.
