Oregon head coach Dan Lanning confirmed his commitment to the program amid speculation he could be in line to replace Nick Saban at Alabama.
The 37-year-old shared a video Thursday in which he reaffirmed his desire to remain with the Ducks.
“I want to be here in Eugene for as long as Eugene will have me,” Lanning said.
Lanning was among the names immediately linked to the Crimson Tide opening based on his coaching history. The Missouri native served under Saban as a graduate assistant in 2015. He then worked under former Saban assistant, Kirby Smart, at Georgia in 2018 and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2019.
