Time for our PTSD to be triggered, reports have come out that Jimbo Fisher is getting fired at Texas A&M and so far Lanning has been one of the top rumored targets for A&M, which is probably true. Question is, would Lanning leave if offered?

A&M is in the SEC and has a ton of money. No doubt Lanning could succeed there with their NIL budget. Is that enough to persuade Lanning to ditch Oregon for A&M?

I obviously hope we keep Lanning, but with our recent history you just never know.

He’s not going anywhere….

Nah not even worried, Dan achieved the level he wants and he's a savvy salesperson and understands his ability to sell Nike U. Why go to a job where a completely competent coach just failed? He doesn't want to keep moving his kids around.

Lanning probably gets a well-deserved raise through this but that's about it.

I don't see why Lanning would want to go to Texas A&M. They don't offer anything more than we do (aside from money) but the pressure to perform is significantly higher at Texas A&M than out here. Oh yes, and if the divisions don't change with the addition of Oklahoma/Texas, they'll be playing Alabama/LSU/Ole Miss every year.

. A&M with its fan base, inflated expectations, and 100 high dollar boosters tha all act like Jerry Jones, is a terrible job. If all you want is a big payday, sure, or if you are at a school that is about to be knocked down from a power 5 level ok. But I have a hard time seeing anyone not from Texas, who already has a BIG or SEC job, wanting that job.

The Duke coach was a DC there I believe, and he is a very good coach , he might be talked into it.

I’ll get worried if Bama or UGA opens up.

Get real, the fishing in Texas sucks.

It's probably gonna be Mike Elko. They are paying Jimbo a $76.8M buyout...

Oregon and Dan Lanning have agreed to a six-year, $45 million contract extension that will keep the second-year coach with the Ducks through the 2028 season. The new deal increases Lanning's salary from $4.7 million to $7 million this season and will increase by $200,000 each year through the duration of the deal

I doubt the young father is looking to relocate his family so soon, only a few months ago “the grass was damn green in Eugene”..

Does anyone know his buyout?

Mike Norvell (FSU) is in the mix. Can't really imagine anybody but Saban turning down $100 mil, if A&M still feels like going crazy.

Not happening. Not even going to lose one ounce of worry over this.

Jimbo Fisher was making $9 mil per year with annual increases. I'm guessing they'd offer at least that much for Lanning.

Is an extra $2 mil per year worth it for him to jump ship? Yes, I'd say so.

But would I expect Oregon to re-negotiate his extension to match that given his elite trajectory and Oregon moving to the Big 10 (with that new influx of cash)? Yes, I would.

I'm not worried about this. If Oregon wants him to stay, we've got the means to make him stay. Now that we're Big 10 bound there are only a few jobs that might be objectively better than where he's at right now and A&M isn't one of them.

I can't imagine Norvell leaving FSU. The ACC is weak for the foreseeable future and he has an easy road to the CFP. He'd go straight into a pressure cooker situation with a VERY tough conference schedule.

Money's great, but stress is a killer.

IMO, if we lose a coach to Texas ATM, it would probably be Stein, Hampton, or Tosh. Not Lanning.

I think their HC candidate list is:
1) Mike Elko
2) Jeff Traylor

I don't see Lanning leaving since he's spoken about giving his kids stability after they moved around so much early in his career.
