Current rumors are that Lanning has turned them down.  They've most likely moved on to DeBoer.

Also rumors that the first call they made, was to Sarkisian, who politely told them "no thanks" while at the same time telling Texas "bring me the Brinks Truck."

I didn't want to put it out there yet, but since it's well known now it seems, Lanning is not leaving Oregon. I have a very good friend that has been dating a guy that Oregon just hired to their staff and he had a call with Lanning last night and Lanning confirmed with him he is staying at Oregon and they are still hiring him on staff and arranging all the details to onboard him to Oregon staff and moving them across country. So lanning is out.

Yup. As Ryan Day is finding out right now in trying to replace Urbz.

Urbz won a Natty and never lost to Michigan. Ryan Day can’t beat Michigan and Michigan just won the Natty. Homie is coaching for his job in 2024. Better win THE GAME or he’s probably finito.
Probably true.  

Even though he did beat Michigan easily on his first try, he won get the benefit of Hairball who didn’t beat OSU until his 7th season.

Yup. But Jeem had the luxury of taking over for a fat poke named Hoke that didn’t wear a headset and taking over a dumpster fire that was getting beat down by OSU for 10ish years before he ever showed up. 

Day took over maybe the #2 program in the country behind only Saban’s Bama and took over for Ubrz- who is maybe the 2nd best coach ever in college behind Saban. He’s in that conversation at the very least.

Day is a heckuva coach. Look at his resume, it’s like 3 schools holding him back from a Natty- Bama, UGA, Mich- that’s it. His overall record is insane. And even if he can’t beat Michigan in ‘24 at home (which he 100% should be the favorite to do) - he should keep his job. But unfortunately when you’re taking over for a guy like Urbz who won a Natty and never lost to Michigan- the expectation levels are sky high.

Yes- 3 of his losses have been to the National Champ- and 2 of those games were nip and tuck ( Michigan and Georgia).

it’s all relative.  If you watched the games and looked at the box scores- Ohio State came the closest to beating UM than anyone else- and in their stadium.

You could say  Bama because OT- but UM played so sloppy that game and was nearly flawless against OSU.

That's hilarious! 

Maybe college football can survive. That level of rivalry hate can't be easily quenched... :57:

Was it too hard to understand? Friend been dating a coach hired at oregon? New coach talked to head coach out of fear of new job being in jeopardy. I’ll keep the description down to 3 words next time.

Anybody remember what a protracted mess the Bama HC search actually was last time?  It dragged on forever, seemed like, with multiple bad looks and egg on the face.  Mr. Hoople (RIP) even started a thread called "Let's Help Bama Find A Coach."  As I recall, they initially went after Saban, who turned them down.  They then moved on to a string of other candidates, who also turned them down, and they were not good at keeping it out of the news.  Every swing and miss was embarrassingly detailed in the media.  Finally, I guess, the boosters gathered together so much $ that Saban couldn't turn them down, and they ended up getting their original #1 pick....although Saban had the famous "I guess I'll just have to say it....I'm not gonna be Alabama's next coach," even as the deal was being finalized. 

I imagine the 6 NCs and insane win% has made the Gumps forget all about that, but I remember it, and I'm rooting for similar chaos, but without the same ensuing results.

IMO DeBoer would be making a mistake(if true).Five yrs ago maybe not, but with the Portal and Big NIL money that even Bama Bagmen and their brand can't match he'd be pedestrian. Sure big pay day but would not do a whole hell of a lot for his resume' or street cred

As I recall, enough weeks had passed and Saban wasn't doing all that well in the NFL, and that probably also helped him change his mind.

But seriously, if you're a successful head coach at a pretty well established program, there's a lot of downside to taking the Alabama job and following a legend.  Sure the money will be good, but anything less than supreme success is probably going to get you fired, which could ultimately set your career back 10 years.  There are very real reasons why a guy like Lanning turned down the job.  I could see DeBoer turning it down as well.
