Dan Lanning Looking To Finish The Job, Before Moving On To Oregon

In the week that followed the SEC Championship game in Atlanta, Dan Lanning was looking to fix the mistakes his Georgia defense had made against Alabama, while also quietly figuring out his next step in life. In the aftermath of Mario Cristobal leaving for Miami, the Oregon job came open, and they were looking at the Bulldogs defensive coordinator to lead the ship. Timing couldn't have been crazier for the DC, but as he took the job in Eugene, he also knew there was a job to finish in Athens.

It's never easy for a coach to move on, but this was an opportunity that Lanning could not pass up, to be a head coach. So, with the blessing of Oregon, Lanning would be doing double-duty for the next few weeks after taking the job out West. It hasn't been too much of a distraction for the new Oregon head coach, as he spoke about on Tuesday.
