Dan Lanning — Oregon, December 2021
Oregon 2022–The Georgia DC who became the most successful Pac-12-to-Big-Ten transition coach — and the Lanning era as Oregon's strongest sustained run since the Kelly years.
Year-1: 10-3 · Year-3: 13-1 · Big Ten transition's smoothest landing
Lanning arrived from Smart's Georgia in December 2021 and produced 10-3 in year one, 12-2 in year two, 13-1 with the first Big Ten Championship in year three — the smoothest conference-transition landing of the Pac-12 dissolution. The 2024 Big Ten Championship win over Penn State was the program's first conference title outside the Pac-12 in its history. The Lanning operation (portal-aggressive, defense-first, Florida-recruiting) is the early read on Big Ten's new west-coast power.
