Dan Lanning said there was never a decision to make when Nick Saban retired and the Alabama job came open; he was staying at Oregon regardless. Speaking on The Ryen Russillo Podcast recently, Lanning was asked if there was ever a moment where he considered a move. The Oregon head coach was immediately linked to the Alabama job, but just as quickly as he was tied to the school, he made a public statement confirming his decision to remain in Eugene.
