Report: Georgia's Dan Lanning a Candidate for Oregon HC Job Amid Conflicting Rumors

Conflicting reports emerged Friday regarding Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning and the open University of Oregon head football coach position.

What seems to be certain: Lanning is a candidate for the position.

Chip Towers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Oregon was expected to name Lanning as its next head football coach, with an official announcement coming Monday.

However, John Talty of AL.com reported later in the day that multiple sources told him the Lanning hiring report was inaccurate.

James Crepea of the Oregonian reported a source told him Oregon hasn't made an offer to Lanning or anyone else, although the Georgia DC is a candidate for the job.
