Oregon Extends Dan Lanning’s Contract Through 2030 with Major Pay Raise

The deal makes Lanning one of the top five highest-paid coaches in college football, reflecting his strong record but drawing mixed reactions from fans.

Dan Lanning's new six-year contract with Oregon raises his average annual salary to nearly $11 million, pending board approval.
The extension secures Lanning through the 2030 season and includes a $20 million buyout clause that remains unchanged.
Lanning, 38, has led the Ducks to a 35-6 record over three seasons, including an undefeated regular season and a Big Ten Championship in 2024.
Despite his success, Oregon has yet to win a College Football Playoff game under Lanning, with a notable 41-21 loss to Ohio State in the 2024 quarterfinals.
The contract has sparked debate among fans, with some questioning the raise given the lack of playoff victories.
