Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning was hired Saturday as Oregon's next football coach, the school announced.
Lanning, who is just 35 years old, has been at Georgia since 2018, where he was hired as a linebackers coach before being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2019. In the three years that he has coached the Bulldogs' defense, they have had two top-10 units, including the best defense in the country this season.
Prior to landing on coach Kirby Smart's staff at Georgia, Lanning made stops at Pittsburgh as a graduate assistant, Arizona State as a recruiting coordinator, Sam Houston State as a defensive backs coach and recruiting coordinator and Memphis as a linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator.
