Report: Oregon to Hire Georgia Defensive Coordinator Dan Lanning

After losing coach Mario Cristobal to Miami earlier this week, Oregon football reportedly has its next coach. As first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday, Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning will reportedly head west to take over the program.

The Athletic's Bruce Feldman confirmed the report on Saturday.

Numerous big names had been attached to the job at Oregon, considered one of the best in the Pac-12. There have been reports about the program's interest in bringing back former coach Chip Kelly, who is currently the head coach at UCLA.
