Oregon Football: Twitter reactions to Dan Lanning being hired as head coach
Dan Lanning has been chosen as the next head coach of Oregon football and it comes just in time for Early Signing Day. How did Twitter react?
Folks, the search is over. After searching for a week following a sudden departure by Mario Cristobal, Dan Lanning has been hired as the next head coach of Oregon football, per reports.
While this isn’t the big name everyone was hoping for, it actually turns out that this may be an incredible high-reward type of move. Lanning has never been a college head coach before, but that hasn’t stopped previous coordinators under Kirby Smart from having success — just ask Mel Tucker how he’s doing with that new 10-year, $95 million contract.
Lanning is going to make a nice chunk of change coaching at Oregon and while he’s not Chip Kelly or Lane Kiffin or Dave Aranda, he’s still a heck of a hire who could prove to be on their level in a couple of years.
Plus, he’s a young coach who can recruit at a high level. He’s a brilliant defensive mind who has learned under some of the best coaches in the game and he’s going to keep Oregon near the top of the Pac-12.
How did Twitter react to this official news?

Oregon found itself in a tough spot with Cristobal leaving 10 days before NSD but came out in a great spot with the Dan Lanning hire.

#OregonTwitter has been on fire the last 48 hours. The Twitter Spaces hangout with fans, player parents, media and Dan Lanning’s brother has been off-the-charts insightful. Reaction and, yes, reporting with movers and shakers in real time by the heart of the fan base. Bravo.

Consider me highly skeptical of this hire. Dan Lanning is a bright young coach who's good at recruiting but much of Georgia's defensive dominance is Kirby Smart.

He has zero years of on-field coaching experience west of Texas and now he's running a major program in the PNW? https://t.co/ykrXANHeF7

It’s hard to find anyone who’s truly upset about this hire after reading up on him and doing research because it’s clear he has made quite a reputation for himself. He looks the part and many believe he’s a bright young coaching star.
Oh yeah, and the players and recruits are buying in. This is a great sign for Oregon.
