2024 Coaching Carousel has started

These guys don’t necessarily think like that. I’m sure Lanning assumes he would be successful wherever he went. However, he’s got a pretty great set up at Oregon and could probably wait for a potential opening at Bama in a couple years.
Exactly. I don't think Deboer lasts past next year with their expectations.

That's why I'd stay away from that job if I'm Lanning. DeBoer is a very good coach but no one is Nick Saban and DeBoer will ultimately pay the price for that at some point.

Lanning can have an occasional 3-4 loss season at Oregon and he won't get near the same level of heat. He can build a legacy at a place that isn't Tuscaloosa and decide if/when he wants to go to the NFL.

I think he's a perfect fit at Oregon, IMO
 
For how objectively good of a gig Oregon is, it’s crazy how much of a HC turnstile there is there.
In fairness, Cristobal left to get into the heroin business.

I'm confused why we are arguing the fine points here when we should just be wishing him a fare-thee-well.

He would make a perfect choice for [Chicago/Carolina/Dallas/any team in New York].
 
Lanning goes to NFL at the end of the year.
Rhule gets us close but not quite there over the next two years, leaving us bitter and sad but with a tinge of hope.
Rhule leaves to take over for Penn State claiming that it is home. He has done enough time at Nebraska to feel good about leaving.
Lanning shits the bed in the NFL that same year.
Nebraska hires Lanning quoting KC ties and some other horse shit.
Lanning is our future coach.
The simulation churns on.

I live out here so I'll add my $.02. I think it only recently became elite for HCs with NIL. I think pre-NIL it was a good job but it was not elite, which is why HCs left there for places like FSU, Miami or the NFL

Pre NIL it was actually hard to get players there. Oregon HS FB is really pretty mediocre. The SF or LA kids really did not want to go to Oregon unless the in-state 3 turned them down (USC/UCLAbia/Cal). There was a famous from a 5* from Bay Area talking about Oregon where he said "there's really nothing to do there, they just throw a bunch of Nike stuff at you." Eugene is pretty gloomy for a California kid.

But now with NIL and B1G...it's an elite job. And they pay way more than USC/UCLAbia so they're gonna get their pick of the Cali kids. Lanning has it pretty good there. I wouldn't leave for any job if I was him unless he simply wanted to live/coach in the SEC.

Of course Lanning has lost the will to live in his NFL stint and hires Brian Van Gorder as his DC and brings Scatterfield home as his OC

He proceeds to not produce a winning record in 3.5 seasons and is sadly fired after a Scott Frost led Buttgers Scarlet Knights team hangs 77 on him in Piscataway

And the simulation churns on

Rhule fails. Traditionalists hold a golf tournament and raise money to port over the entire Army coaching staff.

Team proceeds to go 3-9 for seven straight seasons, while fans credit close losses and the importance of patience.

Eventually, RTDB guy realizes he got monkey pawed and what he thought was heaven was in fact hell.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing us he didn't exist and that he wasn't Jeff Monken.
