Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning is no stranger to the coaching rumor mill. In the last 18 hours since Nick Saban announced his retirement at Alabama, Lanning became the odds-on favorite to replace him in Tuscaloosa, per BetOnline.

One report even said Lanning was in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday night.

Turns out, Lanning is staying put.

He published a video on social media on Thursday morning recommitting his desire to be in Eugene.
