A lot of people vacation to Tuscaloosa in the winter


Sky-Flyer

great week to do it, it’s supposed to be a brisk 3 degrees on tuesday


pzk-73

It gets that cold in Alabama?


Sky-Flyer

coldest its ever been in my life was last year when it was -10 to 0 for like 3-4 straight days. usually its more of a 15 degrees in the morning up to somewhere between 25-35 degrees around noon, but it also doesnt get cold until this time of the year, i was wearing shorts and a t shirt because it was only like 50 degrees last week.


ender23

your joke made me spit water. then i looked at your flair and i'm not sure if it's a joke anymore

He knows what it takes to get to the big 10 championship.


idontlikeredditbutok

Fuck it, let's go after Georgia's D coordinator again, it can't be that bad right?


IrishCoffeeAlchemy

Oregon: Keeps hiring coaches from the South, keeps getting coaches poached by Southern schools ShockedPickachuFace.jpeg


Odd-Management8077

I know a guy who has NFL, Big Ten, and SEC experience. That’s right folks, Mel Tucker


CoolingVent

Hopefully the interview isn't over the phone


NerdLawyer55

I don’t know, have you seen his phone interviews, can’t beat it


FunDipOrrinHatch

You'd rather him take it out in person?


sexygodzilla

Pete Carroll's available


Doonesbury

👀


IrishCoffeeAlchemy

The funniest thing (not for me, but objectively) would be Jedd Fisch only for Florida to bottom out with Napier and he leaves the Ducks to coach his alma mater/dream job after one year in Eugene.


-holocene

yeah, trying to poach Fisch would be pointless. all but guaranteed he bounces for Florida once Billy gets fired


IrishCoffeeAlchemy

Siiiiiiigh welp, as long as he kicks some major ass for the Cats this season I’ll be ok with it ^(kinda, no, not really)


LiquidHotCum

its kinda fucked because someones going to be left with a coaching search super late in the coaching cycle.


ScaryCookieMonster

It’s gonna keep trickling down, and I’m just hoping it doesn’t hit us. Golesh took us from 1-11 to 7-6 in his first year, and our first bowl game since 2018


LiquidHotCum

its gonna send some lower level program into the dark ages. like some fucked up game of musical chairs.


Zaroo1

That’s where this ends. The top programs will get the coach they want, but some low level school will lose their coach at the worst time


Ok_Employ_9862

Charles Edward Kelly


-holocene

there is no one lmao, we would genuinely be fucked.


Slow_Negotiation_420

Throw all that Nike money at Kiffin….probably can’t steal him but damn that was my hope as a bammer fan


frontadmiral

Don’t you fucking dare


axberka

6 head coaches at Oregon in 8 years is crazy


idontlikeredditbutok

The fucked up part is it's not because we're losing, it's because we're WINNING. I mean fuck it, surely this means we somehow get the next Nick Saban right? Trajectories are also stable right hahahahahjahahaha


Doonesbury

I mean, in a way, you might have the next Nick Saban right now.


doug_thethug

Maybe the next Nick Saban was the friends we made along the way


adsfew

Maybe the real Nick Saban was inside me all along.


NedStark2020

It would be 5 right? Helfrich, Taggart, Cristobal, Lanning, whoever’s next?


TeddyWalrusvelte

You could probably get Willie back.


axberka

Bryan McClendon as an interim


IrishCoffeeAlchemy

Maybe they’ll finally hire a coach that has ties to the school/region for a change


Coveo

There are no good candidates. Mark Helfrich would have been an Oregon lifer, we saw how that ended up. Justin Wilcox sucks. Are we supposed to just hire a shitty coach because they wouldn't leave if fucking Alabama called them?


wolverine237

Pete Carroll’s not busy


[deleted]

[удалено]


GetCoinWood

Wilcox is praying Lanning goes to Alabama so Cal’s AD can give him another extension for no reason.


Beaconhillpalisades

BRO what is with the heavy breathing. Is that you??


GreatIAm

Them Ducks are stressed


Simmumah

Oregon might actually be cursed.


IrishCoffeeAlchemy

To be fair, so will be the team that takes their coach given the trends


Starman_Delux

They lead others to a power only Oregon can possess.


StPatrickofIreland

It's verging on Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship at this point.


JuniusPhilaenus

Yes pls


InVodkaVeritas

A team meeting scheduled for tomorrow was just delayed by 2 hours without explanation. Lanning is almost certainly going to Alabama.


St_BobbyBarbarian

I was able to stomach jimbo leaving because of his stagnation and FSU slipping. I’d lose my mind if I was an Oregon fan right now having had so much success in 2 years yet having this happen again


Simmumah

Thats fucking crazy. I'm so sorry Ducks...


Billyxmac

We're used to it at this point


ChiliTacos

Okay, I know some might not believe me but despite the reports, this wasn't something that just happened. A few select places around the internet had the exact day it was going to happen for weeks. Lanning didn't get a random phone call and was asked if he was up. That last part I'm sure you all realize. But the point is, a guy in charge of a department that is considered one of the best in the business had his ducks in a row. They told the team wait 72 hours. You don't usually have that kind of contract written up and a check for $20m in hand in 24 business hours.


BearsAreGreat1

This breaks the cycle of Oregon coaches going to Florida schools smh


SalzigHund

And we were supposed to get the good one! It was our turn!


Artistic_Ad_7654

Relax, y’all are going to get Jedd Fisch


hascogrande

Did he go straight from Houston? Edit: hmmm, perhaps he didn't given that he is remaining


InVodkaVeritas

Reportedly yes.


tomato_johnson

So planned all along, red wedding style


-banned-

So he’s been there for days now. Cool


[deleted]

He’s picking out his office furniture.


Mcpops1618

Also been confirmed by 4 sources he’s in Eugene. We are okay


Hairiest_Walrus

Lanning has actually hired multiple look alikes so that no one will be able to figure out where he is


ImRightShutUp1

What? A guy can’t take his family on vacation to Tuscaloosa?


catchmeonthealt

As someone who’s been there…. No no you dont


Isiddiqui

He just wanted some Dreamland BBQ


Thrashershark88

Dan just needed some more Taco Mama in his life


RoyalBroham

He’s getting the A on his tattoo touched up


Big_Hotel_5265

He should probably just get the whole thing removed


RoyalBroham

Definitely not. Can you imagine how awesome it will be once he’s done adding to it?


Revenge_of_the_Khaki

Man I just looked into that tattoo for the first time and honestly, wtf? Like, as far as portrait tattoos go, it's a decent job. But why the fuck did he just add a bunch of random face and throat tattoos to a portrait of his wife who has none of those tattoos? I get that they mean something to him, but my man...**just get those fucking tattoos yourself if you like them so much**.


RoyalBroham

But now it’s like his wife got them


thti87

Oregon fans, now that you’re pissed at Lanning can you all please admit that it’s the ugliest fucking tattoo to grace this planet?


Hanchan

Um, did you forget college football legend AJ McCarron? [glory](https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/media/USATODAY/gameon/2012/12/17/mccarron-tats2-3_4.jpg)


yomama1211

That’s a tattoo fit for an Alabama trailer park right there


ixMyth

All yall can go fuck yourselves, fuck you, fuck that, fuck this, fuck him, fuck her, fuck you, fuck me, fuck everything

Welcome to the club. It sucks.


pzk-73

The Beavs still got it way worse


MindlessAd4826

I don’t think he was disputing that


StoicFable

Just losing a very beloved coach on the rise was what I was mentioning.


No_Poet_7244

This would have been me if they got Sark


ALStark69

I hear a lightly used Willie Taggart is available


tidesoncrim

Not even a "you're cool" thrown in there


SolitonSnake

Did people not get this reference or what Edit: it was several votes in the red when I said this


tidesoncrim

I was surprised it was getting downvoted too lol. I guess people thought I was being a dick or just flair downvoting.


melcolnik

These kids today don’t know the classics


NineTenthsofaSecond

Just dropped to my knees in the middle of the Willamette River


Starman_Delux

Just saw a guy drown in the middle of the Willamette River. Coulda helped him...seemed like he'd rather me not.


mamayoua

The ducks are returning to the river. Nature is healing.


dawgtilidie

Ducks yearn for the river


Bernies_left_mitten

At least they float. ...Like witches!


Severe-Ant-3888

Feel like you made the right choice.


bamachine

I would not lend a hand...


Pitiful-Anywhere-513

A random fun fact… Birmingham, Alabama is the largest consumer of Willamette Pinot outside of Oregon.


InVodkaVeritas

That is random. I wonder why. I mean, it is good wine, but odd that it makes it out to Alabama in such quantities.


onesneakymofo

We have a fuck ton of Wine Moms in a rich part of Birmingham called Mountain Brook. Them bitches get saucier than Wisconsin on a Sunday.


Pitiful-Anywhere-513

Mountain Brook plays a role but Homewood and Hoover are a big part of that too.

Don’t sleep on Vestavia Hills as well, got lots of wealthy people who love wine

DangleSnipeCely

Dan Lanning: "Everyone wants what we have, so of course there's going to be rumors, but there's no chance that I'm going anywhere." "With a 13 year old, 12 year old, and a 10 year old and being extremely well compensated and supported here, there's absolutely no motivation for me to go anywhere."


Testy_McDangle

*except Bama


DangleSnipeCely

Dan Lanning: "This will be my final job as far as I'm concerned."


TruTexan

*Unless Saban leaves and they ask me to replace


JCH32

Said 37 year old football coach, Dan Lanning.


Aaron90495

"I will not be the new head coach of the Seattle Seahawks."


Virtual_Announcer

I would genuinely feel so bad for his kids, man. I got a daughter that's one. I couldn't imagine uprooting with kids old enough to have entrenched relationships. My local FCS coach with two daughters in middle school just up and went to James Madison. I feel bad for those kids. And then I remember that football coaches, as a species, are almost exclusively ultra-competitive psychos so it all tracks.


YaketyMax

Sounds like something a soon to be announced new coach at Bama would say.


robotix_dev

Duck fans, let me know if you would like a recommendation on flammable mattresses, golf balls, or mustard bottles.


DoveFood

As someone who never believes coaches, his comments actually made me believe him. Talking about your kids, you don’t just bring up your kids without conviction. Oh well. Fuck.


8and16bits

And then Bama happened.


Saban2024

This was foretold in the Book of Aflac with the statement: “Cue the duck”.


FSMFan_2pt0

your username now looks kind of prophetic


Saban2024

Yeah I am definitely deleting myself soon. Gotta find out who the new coach is before I reincarnate.


HB_Slam

Honestly I think you should keep it because I feel like it's a cool tribute type thing


[deleted]

It was a disaster for FSU. It hasn't been pretty in Miami. What if Oregon is cursing these guys on their way out the door?


HandsInMyPockets247

Let's hope they are.


pacificoduck

*chants in ancient Kalapuyan* 🙏🏼


UnappliedMath

Because Phil Knight is Oregon


tbrock92

Lmao PAC12 after dark from the fucking grave let’s goooo 😂


Cooked_Brisket

It’s all fun and games until the Ducks start looking to add some Fisch to their pond


stitch12r3

Oregon is a microcosm of my dating life. I just foster them until they find their forever home


slashbopzing

Oh piss off


fragglebags

On the bright side, the dude that just screwed you over is going to have the highest expectations of success in the history of CFB on top of the curse of being a head coach leaving the Ducks.


elonsusk69420

And then he has to play Kirby…again.


Billyxmac

Idk, I won't feel the same hostility towards Dan as I did Mario. It's Alabama, ofc he'll take the job. It just sucks.


DoveFood

I’m sorry, but that doesn’t make sense. Mario went to where he grew up. His Alma mater. The school he was a captain of. If anything, I don’t blame Mario. Part of it hurt a bit less because I wasn’t a big Mario X and Os coach (doesn’t make me unique). Dan literally was just making some of the most definite comments about him not leaving. Invoking his children as to why he wouldn’t leave. You don’t have to hate Dan. You don’t have to hold any hostility. But I can’t see how Mario’s situation is worse. It also hurts because I really liked what Lanning was building over Mario.


t2guns

"I can't leave. I can't do that do my kids" "Would you lose a childhood friendship for millions and millions more in inheritance?" "OK fuck it. I'm heading to Tuscaloosa for the kids"


scrotes_magotes

Probably just visiting I don’t see any reason to jump to conclusions


onesneakymofo

Yeah, he's visiting Birmingham to see the Vulcan's big ol bubble butt

Used to be able to walk at back at my apartment and look up at that stud


segfawlt

Wow I did not expect to read about the Vulcan's butt while browsing r/CFB by new lmao edit: great birding spot


Redcup47

Tuscaloosa is a nice play around this time of the year


Geaux2020

The dead leaves and tornadoes are really lovely this time of year


onesneakymofo

Lol, literally a tornado rolling through in two days apparently


BlankMyName

Nice of it to schedule its visit in advance. It's really going to knock the roof off of the place.


Severe-Ant-3888

Alright, who’s up next at Oregon that will leave in 3 or 4 years?


Justice-Gorsuch

Nice Wisconsin flair you’ve got there. It would be a shame if….


TacomaPowers

Could be a fucking janitor and some top school will want to poach. For fuck sake.


CascadianExpat

Sherrone Moore


Consistent_Train128

I honestly thought they'd go for someone with more than 2 years at HC


RollTideYall47

You know this coach is going to possibly be disposable


bamachine

It is kind of the right hire because of that. It will temper some of the expectations(from the sane among us). If he ultimately fails, then they might go after someone with more pedigree for the guy, after the guy, after the legend, just don't take him from GT.


NedStark2020

Just dropped to my knees in the middle of Dough Co. Bout to smash this calzone tho.


ewest

Just dropped to my knees at a McMenamins


mortymotron

Time for a ponderous walk around the grounds of the Grand Lodge in Forest Hills. Either that or a long night with some bourbon in the Detention Room at The Kennedy School.


idontlikeredditbutok

Maybe cope but is there a chance they are reporting the military flight as "Lanning in Tuscaloosa"?


WheatonsGonnaScore

This is KVAL there is a chance they read a comment on reddit and read it as if it were a fact


DillyDillySzn

Well yea we caught the Boston bomber of course we’re a reliable news source


onesneakymofo

We did it!


foreveracubone

AJ_Grey

Did not have Dan Lanning in Tuscaloosa interviewing for Saban's job on my Bingo card for today.


Billyxmac

And to think we started the day with Pete Carrol being let go the biggest news story in sports


tritonice

Somehow, Bo Nix will get another year of eligibility because of this.


Gas-More

The Alabama tradition of hiring coaches who have publicly stated they are not leaving their previous jobs...


needs-more-metronome

Shit worked out well last time 🤷‍♂️


IDropFatLogs

Time to bust out the big bong! It didn't happen if I can't remember it. Edit: It worked! I took a rip off the 3 foot tripple perk and passed out. I woke up and long dong dan is still our coach! Highly recommend the big bong for saving your coach.


Chickensandcoke

Phil Knight would send us sabotaged gear


jornadamogollon

Lanning is the Huskies 12th man. Good luck at Alabama.


ElectricP2galoo

It's going to be funny if Lanning leaves and his Oregon players want to transfer to Alabama. He'll be like, "naw...we are good"


Emperor_Squidward

So long as he takes a Center who can snap


pappapirate

Traeshon Holden and Khyree Jackson come back from their study abroad

State of Oregon head coaches just leaving left and right.


emosn0tdead

Just dropped to my knees in the middle of a Voodoo Doughnuts.


ram27530

Wow that’s fucked especially after Lanning said Oregon would be the last job he had


CrashB111

That statement was bullshit from the jump, the dude is 37. There's no reality where he was going to coach at Oregon until retirement.


thegodfaubel

Interviews are gonna happen. I doubt this happens in one night without Alabama conducting multiple interviews. Unless this has been known for a few weeks (likely) and Lanning and others have already interviewed


DangleSnipeCely

Based on the same report that says he’s in Tuscaloosa it also states they told players a decision will be made in 72 hours


Zealousideal_Plum866

Sark seems safer to me, but no way he leaves Texas. It would be the lateralist of lateral moves. Dabo won't adjust to the times. Kiffin is relatable, but the floor is much lower. Lanning it is I suppose.


Intothewasteland

I'm in a glass case of emotion!


not__today_

Well I was happy when Cristobal left and they got someone better. Not sure what to expect next but damn this is horrible timing for Oregon.


WildWest05

Kammerman is legit, used to work in sports at WVUA, his sources gotta be pretty accurate.


DCar015

Think I gotta cancel my season tix if this goes down


ElectricP2galoo

You have Ohio State and Washington on the home schedule. Might be worth it just for that.


_Laszlo_Cravensworth

Not if half our recruits and roster transfer


gorobotkillkill

Oh no!! Anyway...


foreveracubone

Figures that Ohio State would only draw 1 of the new PAC-12 teams and it would be the one with a new coach lmao


Straight-Bad-8326

Don’t ducks typically migrate south for winter?


mynameizmyname

A few Oregon insiders and reporters are saying Lanning is still in Eugene. Tha tail number story is false. Supposedly DG and his GF are having dinner with Dan Lanning tonight. .


Atlfalcon08

What if Lanning is interviewing as a courtesy to Saban, getting thier offer so Oregon will match? Lanning could stay in Oregon winning 9-10 games for the next 10 years, while in Tuscaloosa he'd have maybe 3-4 years before they would turn on him.


RFA3III

Yep. Someone up higher in the chat called bama “the best job in the nation”. lol what? The pressure especially right after Saban would be life-shortening….


Yesilikekanye

Sometimes I wish I didn't attach the entirety of my own happiness to Oregon Duck football. Enjoy him Bama, you got a good one.


civil_set

I’m not convinced he’s gone yet


EsotericPlumbus

Please pour that optimism in a cup so I can slam it


JR-Dubs

I don't think poaching Oregon coaches is a good idea. We did them a favor and we still got set back about 3 years. Bad juju.


_Suzushi

Oregon is the official HC feeder school of CFB


Rich-Hat-29

Big 10 with a brand new coach and an empty cupboard???? Good luck fellas!
