The Oregon Ducks like what they have seen from Dan Lanning and are doing what they can to prevent him from leaving.
Lanning received a contract extension from Oregon that runs through 2028. According to 247 Sports’ Matt Prehm, the contract includes a $20 million buyout.
The buyout takes effect if Lanning leaves at any point prior to 2028.
Lanning’s deal calls for him to receive a raise from $4.7 million to $7 million this season. His salary will increase by $200,000 per year for the duration of the deal. The contract is fully guaranteed, too.
According to CBS Sports’ Barrett Sallee, Lanning will “receive up to three automatic one-year extensions for winning 10 or more games in the regular season.” Lanning will also receive a $500,000 bonus for winning the College Football Playoff.
Lanning was hired by Oregon as their head coach in December 2021. The former Georgia defensive coordinator went 10-3 in his first season with the Ducks. He will be very expensive for another program to poach.
