I think Lanning is really that guy. No carefully chosen words, nothing to dissect. Also he addressed the rumors quickly. I don’t think you can do it much better than that. This is really great news.

I am shocked he was so blunt about it, considering he is a client of Jimmy Sexton.

My source just said Chip is officially back!
It will be announced at Autzen press conference tomorrow afternoon!
That was about as genuine and real feeling as a quote addressing this situation could be. I’ll never 100% believe a coach but I’m not going to worry about Lanning leaving any time soon.
I don't think he's going, but the tone of the denial wasn't that much different from Slick and MC's statements early on. I was hoping for a denial that there were discussions with Auburn, either personally or through his agent, where they said something that could be construed as "interest." But I'm just paranoid because of the way it went with the last two coaches (and CK). I assume that he has made his status clear right away with our 5 star QB and WR recruits; sharks are circling on those two.
Man, that was a great statement by Lanning. The bit about the grass being damn green in Eugene should be played before home games on the big screen. What a timely, well-crafted response to a fan base that absolutely needed to hear it. I think I'm going to like Lanning a lot.
