As for why Lanning’s name came up as a potential NFL coach down the line, an executive spoke with ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and compared him to Dan Campbell. The Detroit Lions head coach has improved the franchise every season and is known for building a strong culture, and Lanning’s job at Oregon is being viewed as an impressive foundation.
“He’s got some Dan Campbell in him,” the executive told Fowler.
Oregon, like Washington, has also churned out some notable NFL talent over the last two years. Bo Nix became a top draft pick and is developing well with the Denver Broncos this season. Bucky Irving is also finding success in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield, and Christian Gonzalez continues to cement himself as a key piece of the New England Patriots defense.
Lanning started his coaching career at the high school level in 2008 as an assistant at Riverside (Mo.) Park Hill South – a role he held until 2010. From there, he became a graduate assistant at Pitt in 2011 and took the same role at Arizona State in 2012. After a year as ASU’s recruiting coordinator in 2013, Lanning became the defensive backs coach at Sam Houston State in 2014 before joining Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama as a graduate assistant in 2015.
Lanning then spent two years at Memphis and ended up working under Kirby Smart at Georgia, starting out as outside linebackers coach in 2018 and moving up to defensive coordinator from 2019-21. Oregon then hired him as head coach in 2022 to replace Mario Cristobal, and the Ducks have won at least 10 games each season since.
