Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning shoots down Auburn rumors: ‘The last thing I ever want to do is leave’ Updated: Nov. 07, 2022, 10:26 p.m.|Published: Nov. 07, 2022, 9:41 p.m. 3-4 minutes Oregon head coach Dan Lanning greets Oregon quarterback Bo Nix (10) after a touchdown against BYU during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022, in Eugene, Ore. (AP Photo/Andy Nelson)AP By James Crepea | The Oregonian/OregonLive Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning dismissed rumors linking him to other jobs on Monday night, saying that he wants to stay at the school that “checks every box” for him as a coach. Asked about an unsubstantiated report from a Auburn fan-produced website stating there was “mutual interest” between the SEC school and Lanning, the first-year Ducks coach said “the last thing I ever want to do is leave” and and that there was “a problem in society” with those who constantly look for their next professional opportunity. “First, I will say things like this are going to come up when you have team success and when you do your job and things go the way they’re supposed to go,” Lanning said. “That’s a credit really to our team. That being said, I think there’s a little bit of a problem in society today with people looking for what’s next and where there’s an opportunity and the reality is the grass is not always green. In fact, the grass is damn green in Eugene and I want to be here in Eugene for as long as Eugene will have me. “This place has everything that I could possibly ever want, my family could ever want. I’ve got an 11-year-old that’s lived in eight states; the last thing I ever want to do is leave. I want to enjoy this opportunity here. It’s been a phenomenal place for us and when you talk about things that align, things that match your vision of what you’re looking for as a head coach, Oregon checks every box for me. ... I think history maybe shows that this is a great place to be and not a great place to leave. I want to be here. Hopefully that’s the last time I have to really address it.” Lanning is in the first year of a six-year contract with Oregon that he signed last December. His buyout to leave before the end of January 2023 is $14 million. Lanning is earning $4.6 million this year, plus performance bonuses that could reach as high as $2,025,000 in each year of his contract. Should Oregon go 11-1, win the Pac-12 Championship game and play in the Rose Bowl this year Lanning would earn $900,000 in performance bonuses. If the Ducks were to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff, his bonuses would increase to $1 million and then increase more if they won the national championship.

Instant analysis: Auburn opens season with wire-to-wire win vs. George Mason Updated: Nov. 07, 2022, 10:33 p.m.|Published: Nov. 07, 2022, 9:08 p.m. 6-8 minutes The tongue was out early for K.D. Johnson. His eyes widened as he bounced up and down the court. His yells were full-throated, even as he chest-bumped Wendell Green Jr. after helping him off the floor following a fastbreak. It was Auburn’s season opener, but Johnson’s maniacal mannerisms were in midseason form. The Tigers’ beloved madman set the tone early in Neville Arena, as No. 15 Auburn opened its season with a wire-to-wire win against George Mason, 70-52, on Monday night. Johnson had 12 points as part of a balanced — though far from efficient — effort from Bruce Pearl’s deep roster, which went 10-deep in the rotation within the game’s first five minutes. Johnson, who added three rebounds, three assists and four steals, was one of three Auburn players to finish in double figures. “He’s just such a factor,” Pearl said. “He’s just different than anybody else out there. There’s a lot of really good athletes out there, but no one is as fast and quick and powerful, explosive. He’s a problem out there, and I thought he did a nice job at both ends. Want to build on it, I want him to build on it.” Wendell Green Jr. scored a game-high 16 to go along with four assists and four rebounds, while Johni Broome had 12 points, six rebounds and four blocks in his Auburn debut. The Tigers also got eight points from Chris Moore in his first career start, seven points (along with six rebounds and three steals) from Jaylin Williams, and six points from five-star freshman Yohan Traore. “As you can see, we had a couple of players in double figures,” Johnson said. “We got that spark off the bench with me, Al (Flanigan) and J-Will. I don’t think we could be stopped.... We’ve got 11 guys and 12 guys, and most guys don’t have that. So, you know, they get tired early — and that’s what George Mason kind of did. We started a new, fresh five and got on them early and pushed the pace.” Here are AL.com’s key takeaways from Auburn’s season-opening win: Johni Broome’s strong debut Johni Broome made his presence felt in his official Auburn debut, and he wasted little time introducing himself. Broome scored the first two baskets of the season for the Tigers — the first a tip-in off a miss on the opening possession, then a short hook after a smooth baseline spin move. The latter prompted a flex toward the stands from Auburn’s new big man, who joined the program in the offseason after earning OVC Defensive Player of the Year last season at Morehead State. Broome showed that defensive prowess Monday, finishing with four blocks in the season opener. He added 12 points (on 5-of-11 shooting) along with six rebounds and a pair of steals. “Offense wasn’t really clicking as well,” Broome said. “I had to find another way to help my team win, and that was on the defensive end, by blocking shots, alternate shots and rebounding the basketball.” Broome also won his matchup against George Mason’s Josh Oduro, who was limited to eight points, four rebounds and three turnovers. Broome did that all despite dealing with an ankle injury that hindered him over the last week or so leading into the season. The ankle seemed fine Monday, though Pearl said Broome is “still banged up.” All in all, though, it was a strong showing for the 6-foot-10, 235-pounder in his first game for the Tigers. Pearl still wants to see more as he gets back to full speed and the season progresses. “He’s got to play faster, quicker,” Pearl said. Auburn put George Mason in a sleeper hold early With just under 5 minutes to play in the first half, George Mason had more turnovers (10) than it did points (nine). Auburn’s defense had GMU in shackles, and Neville Arena was the prison cell. The Tigers’ defense caused fits for the Patriots for large swaths of Monday’s season opener, particularly in the first half as Auburn built a sizeable lead—as large as 18 points late in the first half—and flustered George Mason’s deliberate style of offense. Until the Patriots closed the half on a 13-2 run, making each of their final five shots, the Tigers held them to 5-of-22 shooting (22.7 percent), including 0-for-17 from 3-point range, with 10 turnovers. “We jumped out on them early in the game, had a couple of blocked shots,” Broome said. “KD came in, had a couple steals. The Jungle was rocking. We had got up to a, like a 15-, 16-point lead or whatever it was, but just to set the tone early and stay on them the whole game.” Auburn turned those turnovers into 18 points in the first half, as Pearl’s team led by double-digits for much of the opening stanza — and most of the game. George Mason finished with 19 turnovers, leading to 21 points for Auburn. The Tigers had 14 steals (led by four from Johnson) to go along with 10 blocks, nine of which came from Broome (four) and Dylan Cardwell (five). Auburn also closed out the game strong on the defensive end, as George Mason missed nine of its final 12 shots over the game’s final nine-plus minutes. “To hold them to 52 points, 37 or 38 percent from the field, to turn them over 19 times, nine assists, 19 turnovers, with a veteran team — it’s good,” Pearl said. “Our defense was really good. The rim protection was really good. Our centers blocked nine shots. I think we wore them down.” Auburn overcame a poor shooting night and still controlled the game Just as it did in last week’s exhibition against UAH, Auburn struggled to find its shooting touch in its season opener against George Mason. The Tigers shot just 33.8 percent on the night, including 16 percent (4-of-25) from 3-point range. Despite those shooting woes, Auburn was in control from the opening tip. The Tigers were aggressive getting to the basket, with 24 of their 70 points coming on layups and dunks, as they shot 50 percent (12-of-24) on those attempts. “We very confident, because we gonna rely on our defense, and defense wins championships,” Johnson said. “Us not making shots right now, you know, it’s early on in season. We got a whole season to go, so it’s not a rush or a panic for us. We just gonna keep staying in the gym and they gonna fall.” The poor-shooting performance isn’t a concern for Pearl -- at least not yet. If it becomes a recurring themse as the schedule continues, then it will be an issue to address. Until then, Auburn will keep firing away, confident the shots will start to fall. “When we start making those shots, we’ve got a chance to be pretty good,” Pearl said. “But we haven’t yet.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.

Exit Survey: Final thoughts on Auburn's encouraging night in Starkville ByNathan King 22 hours ago 0 Interim coach Cadillac Williams' message to his team was that, in a road contest at Mississippi State, there was no way they could lose in his eyes. The Tigers did fall 39-33 in overtime, but showed encouraging fight on both sides of the ball that Williams and players agreed hasn't been seen all year with this team. Three of our football reporters — Jason Caldwell, Mark Murphy and Nathan King — took another look at Auburn's first loss post-Bryan Harsin with some superlatives and final thoughts from the game in the Auburn Undercover Exit Survey. Dive in for our plays of the game, helmet stickers, areas of concern and exiting analysis on the loss at Davis Wade Stadium — and what our Week 10 observations could mean for Auburn in the final few few weeks of the season. Play of the game (offense) Jason: "I would probably go with Robby Ashford’s first touchdown run of the game, a 20-yarder. Trailing 24-6, Auburn couldn’t settle for a field goal and needing an explosive play to make something happen. Ashford did just that." Mark: "The left side of the line cleared the path beautifully for Tank Bigsby’s 41-yard touchdown run." Nathan: "The Tigers' run-blocking really struggled for most of the game, but they had several breakthroughs in the second half. Tank Bigsby's 41-yard, go-ahead touchdown midway through the fourth quarter was set up beautifully. Tight end Luke Deal sealed a great block, then buried his defender in the dirt as Bigsby raced to the end zone. Auburn's co-play callers — Will Friend and Ike Hilliard — appeared to get more comfortable as the game progressed, and Bigsby made their efforts pay off with one of Auburn's two go-ahead touchdowns in the fourth quarter." Play of the game (defense) Jason: "Even with the games that Derick Hall and Colby Wooden had, the play for me was the sack and caused fumble by Jeffrey M’ba. It only led to a field goal at the time, but it was a glimpse into the potential for the big junior college transfer." Mark: "Jeffrey M’ba’s first Auburn sack and forced fumble showed the lineman’s potential." Nathan: "Mississippi State had scored touchdowns on three of its first four possessions until Jeffrey M'ba laid a huge hit on Will Rogers, and Dylan Brooks picked up the fumble. It gave Auburn a short field to tack on a field goal, and it began a string of nine straight scoreless drives for the Bulldogs, as the opportunistic Tigers clawed back to erase a three-touchdown deficit two quarters later." Helmet sticker (offense) Jason: "I’m just going to go with the entire offense. It was a tough week for the group with so many changes, but they found a way to run the football and make something happen in the second half." Mark: "Derick Hall led the Tigers with eight tackles, two sacks, another tackle for lost yardage, a forced fumble and a quarterback hurry." Nathan: "A 32% completion rate and four sacks look rough on paper, but Robby Ashford was a big key to Auburn rallying in this game. He had several effective runs off designed QB sweeps and draws, and his two red-zone touchdowns in the third quarter were huge. He had six runs of double-digit yardage in the game, and now hasn't turned the ball over in the past two games." Helmet sticker (defense) Jason: "I mentioned Hall and it’s hard to not make him the defensive player of the game. With two sacks and three tackles for a loss, the Mississippi native showed up in his final trip home." Mark: "A half each goes to walk-on linebackers Barton Lester and Jake Levant (who went on scholarship in August) after combining for five tackles and doing a solid job in pass coverage." Nathan: "There's no way I can't go with Derick Hall: three TFLs, two sacks, a strip-sack and a team-high eight tackles in the final game he'll ever play in his home state." Helmet sticker (special teams) Jason: "It was a night to forget for Auburn’s special teams. Not sure there’s any positive from the group." Mark: "Oscar Chapman averaged 44 yards per punt and the only return lost three yards." Nathan: "Whoof. It was a dreadful night for this unit. I'll go with Oscar Chapman, who punted well, with 308 yards on seven kicks, including a long of 51 and two punts inside the 20." Where Auburn took a step forward Jason: "Take your pick. Defensively was the biggest step in terms of actual football, but attitude, effort and excitement improved by leaps and bounds under Cadillac Williams." Mark: "The intensity level was the best it has been all season." Nathan: "Other than special teams and the passing game, one could argue this team showed promise across the board. Yes, Mississippi State moved the ball a little too easily in the first quarter — it had 140 yards on its first 11 plays of the game — but the Tigers' defensive line later showed up in a big way, with the linebackers making plays in space, too. The offense was inconsistent and is pretty paltry when dropping back to pass, but four second-half touchdowns — and zero turnovers for the game — is a step forward for this group. It was easy to tell the Tigers were playing looser under Williams and looked like they had something to fight for." Where Auburn took a step back Jason: "I mentioned special teams and that was the biggest issue. If Auburn plays solid on special teams, the Tigers win easily." Mark: "Robby Ashford has to do a better job throwing short passes and finding open receivers wherever they are because there were plenty of them he didn’t throw to playing the Bulldogs." Nathan: "Special teams lost this game for Auburn. Anders Carlson, a sixth-year senior, can't be missing field goals from inside 40 yards. He also can't kick the ball into the end zone anymore, which allowed Mississippi State an easier lane for a kick-return touchdown in the second quarter. His injury isn't his fault, but if he's going to be this inconsistent, Auburn needs to give its No. 1 kicker recruit in the country a shot. Then you have the facemask penalty on the kickoff when Mississippi State needed a field goal to force overtime, and the bizarre, incidental onside kick that eliminated Auburn's chances of winning in regulation." Biggest surprise? Jason: "It was probably Robby Ashford’s difficulties throwing the football. He completed just 7-22 passes on a wet night in Starkville. Just wasn’t his night." Mark: " I wasn’t expecting to see Levant and Lester in the playing rotation at linebacker." Nathan: "I expected Auburn to play hard for Williams and feel some pressure lifted after Harsin's cloud of uncertainty was lifted, but to come back from a three-touchdown hole and take the game to overtime, with solid, complementary football and no turnovers, was wildly impressive and speaks to this team's focus and leadership in the wake of a coaching change." How did this outcome affect your thoughts on Auburn's final three games? Jason: "It changes things pretty dramatically for me. This is still a roster with its issues, but Saturday showed this team has a chance to win games if it executes." Mark: "With Bryan Harsin gone, Cadillac running the show and the Tigers playing with a lot of heart and passion at StarkVegas my interest level moving forward has multiplied." Nathan: "I said last week in this answer that Auburn players after the game were completely dejected and defeated, and looked like they didn't want to play another football game this season. Things couldn't have been more different Saturday night. This was a team that completely threw out its three-win record and played its guts out — and nearly won an SEC road game on three days of practice with a interim coach and shuffled assistant staff. More importantly, they invigorated themselves and a fanbase that will undoubtedly turn Jordan-Hare Stadium into a madhouse this Saturday night. Auburn can absolutely win its next two games and salvage somewhat of a memorable finish for an otherwise dreadful season."

Cadillac on leading the team out at Jordan-Hare: 'I'm going to hold it together' Jason Caldwell 3-4 minutes AUBURN, Alabama—As a player at Auburn and an assistant coach for the Tigers, Cadillac Williams has run onto the playing surface of Pat Dye Field at Jordan-Hare Stadium dozens of times in the last 20+ years. Saturday will be a very different experience for the former All-American and first round NFL draft pick however. This time he’ll be doing it as the head coach of the Auburn Tigers, serving in an interim capacity following the firing of Bryan Harsin a week ago. Excited about his role last Saturday night would be an understatement as Williams ran up and down the sidelines and remained positive from start to finish in the overtime loss at Mississippi State. Now he’ll have a game under his belt and another week to prepare for what’s to come on Saturday night under the lights in the stadium that he once starred in. He admits that extra time to get prepared won’t change things for him when it’s time to come out of that tunnel prior to the Texas A&M game this week. “It’s Monday so I’m going to hold it together,” Williams said in his first media opportunity of the week. “You can’t make this up. Honestly, I don’t know how I’m going to feel. I do know I have a job to do, to get this team ready to play and get these guys prepared and lead these guys. I know I can’t make this about me, but I am going to sit in the moment. I’m going to enjoy it. I’m excited for that moment and honor.” Making the moment even more special for Williams and this current Auburn team is the amount of support they’ve already received and what’s sure to come for this weekend’s game. With former teammates texting him and tweeting out support, a huge crowd of Auburn lettermen are expected to turn out on Saturday night to be there for their brother. Throw in what could be a sold out or near sold out crowd for the game and Williams said it’s what Auburn is all about. “Honestly it doesn’t surprise me,” Williams said. “It’s why I chose this institution two decades ago, because of that same love that you all are feeling from the Auburn family. They embraced a kid like myself that had a dream to take care of my mom, to change the trajectory of my family. The feeling they gave me on my official visit is one that always stands out to me. 6COMMENTS “To have those former players, as you know Ronnie Brown and Carlos Rogers are my good buddies, Jeris McIntyre, Jason Campbell to name a few, DeMarco McNeil. Now I’m naming names and guys are going to be mad at me. Everybody I ever played with, people are truly reaching out and supporting me and getting behind this. I’m excited. I’m honored that my fellow brothers would actually take time out and get behind this.” Kickoff for Saturday’s game is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on the SEC Network. ">247Sports

what gets old is all the threats your side puts out there. your side tried to take over the country by stealing an election and you guys used force. instead of siding with cops at the capital you sided wth the young lady who was shot knowing damn well not to cross that thresh hold. what gets old is being accused of being a commie when you served your country during a time of war. and enlisted and not drafted. you guys hate nancy so much you made fun of her husband when your side smeared him in the papers. you guys claim to be the christian party................lol.

sorry no can do...............

Sign in Dan Lanning is 8-1 at Oregon in his first season. (Photo: Serena Morones) Believe what you’d like, but I’m here to tell you that Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning isn’t interested in leaving Eugene. Auburn fired football coach Bryan Harsin last week. The Tigers have hired a search firm. A writer at “Fan Nation” — part of the Sports Illustrated network — reported on Sunday that there was “mutual interest” between Auburn and Oregon coach Dan Lanning. I promised that I would give you sourced, in-depth reporting here. Stuff you can’t get anywhere else. I can tell you whoever reported “mutual” interest didn’t bother to check with Lanning or his agent. I did. Lanning has zero interest. Oregon’s coach may get restless at some point. He may hit a ceiling. Maybe he decides to leave Eugene one day, but that day doesn’t feel like it’s coming anytime soon. Remember, Lanning grew up in rural Missouri. His alma mater, William Jewell College, plays Division II football. This isn’t like the University of Miami calling on Mario Cristobal. It’s not Chip Kelly to the NFL. It’s not Willie Taggart, who barely moved his family to Eugene. I wrote a column recently about Lanning. He’s put down roots. It feels like he’s just getting started. But don’t take my word. Take his. He’ll be asked on Monday. Make sure you listen carefully. I appreciate all who have supported, subscribed and shared my new, independent, endeavor with friends and families.

Howard Stern: Preserving democracy is ‘the only f—ing issue on the table’ in midterms Judy Kurtz 4-5 minutes Howard Stern says there’s no greater issue in Tuesday’s midterm elections than “saving democracy.” “I love this country. I love what it stands for. I know the history of the world. I’ve seen what happens when people who are authoritarians — who want to control the vote, fix the vote, and then eventually eliminate the vote — I know what that means and I know the kind of society you’d be in,” the SiriusXM radio host told listeners of his eponymous show on Monday. “I would love to tell the people out there who think that’s not a big issue: The sad fact is you’ve never lived under an authoritarian regime,” Stern said. “To me, there’s no more important issue on the table for these elections than saving democracy,” he added on the eve of Election Day. “You have no idea what you have ‘til it’s gone,” Stern said as he took aim at election deniers who support former President Trump’s false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen amid voter fraud following his loss to Joe Biden. Candidates categorized by States United Action as election deniers will appear on the ballot for nearly half of the country’s secretary of state races and one-third of the attorney general races, according to data from the pro-democracy nonprofit. “I’m going to suggest to you that the things you enjoy about this country, the freedoms, they will all be gone when you elect someone who says, ‘I don’t believe the vote. F— you. We’re going and we’re taking over.’ That’s how Hitler came to power,” Stern, 68, said. “I never thought I’d be saying this on the radio. I never thought that this would be in jeopardy,” the former “America’s Got Talent” judge said. “Like waking up and seeing the sun shining, I always just assume [in] America, we all are in agreement that we cherish free elections.” “As soon as someone says, ‘I believe that the… 2020 election was stolen,’ as soon as they say that — and they have no proof except they feel like it was stolen — you can’t vote for that person,” Stern said. “I don’t care if they’re a Democrat or Republican,” said Stern, who ran as a libertarian in New York’s gubernatorial race in 1994, before dropping out after the state’s Supreme Court upheld a requirement that he would have to disclose his personal finances as a political candidate. “This is the Republican rap now. I used to believe in the Republican Party. I had many, many candidates that I enjoyed, who I knew personally, that I can’t go along with this nonsense,” Stern said. “You don’t hear from any mainstream Republicans anymore. And I don’t think there’s a more important issue on the table,” he said. “I happen to think [President] Biden’s doing a good job. Do we have problems? Yeah, of course we do,” Stern said, citing Russia’s war with Ukraine, oil prices, and the global economy. “We struggle as a nation all the time with certain issues, but lo and behold, the one thing we got is our freedom — to elect a**holes and kick a**holes out of office. That’s the most important thing.” “So-called evidence” and accusations of 2020 election fraud played out in court, Stern said, and judges across the country found that “everything seems to be on the up and up.” Election deniers, Stern said, “Still go, ‘Well, we feel that they were stolen somehow.’ And yet we don’t feel the election was stolen when we win. You can’t have it both ways. So you accept your win, but you don’t accept your loss.” “I like waking up in an America where I know that the United States senators, people in Congress and the president all believe in America — not in a dictatorship. And that’s it,” Stern said. “That’s the only f—ing issue on the table.” For the latest news, weather, sports, and streaming video, head to
