Oregon and football coach Dan Lanning have agreed on a changed contract that will set him among the five highest paid coaches in the country, reported Yahoo Sports Thursday.
The six -year agreement that extends over 2030, which must be approved by Oregon’s Board of Directors when it meets Friday, includes an annual increase of $ 2 million to an average of almost $ 11 million per season.
His purchases will remain $ 20 million per report.
Prior to the 2024 season, Lanning was 14th the country in salary, according to USA Today’s Database of Coaches salaries. He joins an elite class by coach with his new salary; The five highest paid coaches on the list were Kirby Smart (Georgia), Dabo Swinney (Clemson), Steve Sarkisian (Texas), Lincoln Riley (Southern California) and Ryan Day (Ohio State).
Three of these coaches have won national championships, and Duck’s leader expects Lanning to join that group.
Lanning, 38, was the offensive coordinator in Georgia when Oregon gave him his first head training job for the 2022 season. The ducks are 35-6 during Lanning and won the Big Ten Championship last season during its first year in the Big Ten.
Oregon was 13-0 and No. 1 seed in the extended football game for college but lost to any national champion Ohio State 41-21 in the quarter final at Rose Bowl.
Day got a new contract worth $ 12.5 million a year after Buckeyes won the title and moved him to No. 2 on the payroll behind Smart.
