Oregonâs Dan Lanning takes shot at Colorado Buffaloes for Pac-12 exit
Oregon coach Dan Lanning doesn’t think much of Colorado leaving the Pac-12 for the Big 12. Actually, it appears he didn’t think much of them when they were in the conference.
Lanning didn’t hold back when asked about it.
“Not a big reaction,” he quipped. “I’m trying to remember what they won to affect this conference, and I don’t remember. Do you remember them winning anything? I don’t remember them winning anything.”
Last week, Lanning agreed to a contract extension through the 2028 season. Lanning, who went 10-3 in his first season with the Ducks in 2022, also received a raise to $7 million this year.
The 37-year-old Lanning was an Alabama graduate assistant in 2015, helping the Crimson Tide to the national championship that season. He then spent two seasons as inside linebackers coach at Memphis before reuniting in 2018 with Kirby Smart at Georgia, where he was defensive coordinator and outside linebackers coach for the Bulldogs’ 2021 national title team.
