Alabama was interested in hiring Oregon HC Dan Lanning to replace Nick Saban.
Lanning sent a clear message to Duck fans and the country in response: He is not going anywhere.
On today’s episode of Locked On Ducks, I close the book on the Dan Lanning to Alabama saga (short-lived though it was).
There’s a lesson to be learned amidst all of this as false reports flew around online about Lanning’s whereabouts.
With Oregon’s coaching future secured, Spencer dives into listener questions including one about an overlooked player in the transfer portal cycle.
Plus, a look at Oregon’s running back room for 2024.
