The University of Oregon reportedly will hire Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning as its new head football coach following the departure of Mario Cristobal, according to Chip Towers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports.
Cristobal left the program in early December to take over at the University of Miami, his alma mater and the place where his coaching career began as a graduate assistant in 1998.
The 51-year-old Miami native guided Oregon to a 35-13 record across five years in Eugene. That includes a 10-3 mark in 2021 that earned the team a berth in the Alamo Bowl against Oklahoma.
