The Oregon Ducks have agreed to an amended six-year contract with head football coach Dan Lanning, according to a report from Ross Dellenger of Yahoo.

The deal for Lanning increases his annual pay by $2 million, and he is now making nearly $11 million annually in his fully guaranteed contract. Lanning is now one of the highest paid coaches in college football.

Oregon hired Lanning as a first-time head coach prior to the 2022 season. Since then, he has gone 35-6 as a head coach, which included a 13-1 record last season as the Ducks won the Big Ten and reached the Rose Bowl in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal.
