Following the retirement of legendary Alabama coach Nick Saban, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning emerged as a leading candidate to fill the vacancy. Lanning, who has an impressive 22-5 record over two years at Oregon and served as Georgia's defensive coordinator for the last three of his four years there from 2018-2021, was rumored to be in Tuscaloosa, potentially to interview for the position. Despite reports from KVAL news in Eugene and various sources confirming his presence in Alabama, Lanning has announced through a video on social media that he will remain committed to Oregon, stating 'The grass is not always greener, in fact the grass is damn green in Eugene.' This announcement ends speculation about his departure and underscores his dedication to the Ducks amidst the coaching changes.
