I don't really care about the reason, Lanning is a coach I don't want to see come to a top SEC program other than UGA at some future date.

I respect his ability to coach defense and recruit (particularly in the south). He's the only coach in the nation that I think might be a Nick Saban/Kirby Smart/Ryan Day level recruiter at a top school. I really didn't want to face him at Bama on the recruiting trail (or at UF when they fire Napier going forward).

Guy is a great coach. Geographically he is put at a disadvantage with Oregon as far as recruiting. Sure they have a great NIL collective and Nike that help. Put him at a top program down south and he would put together several #1 classes.
