The Oregon Ducks are on a collision course to the Big Ten Championship game and an inevitable spot in the College Football Playoff. They are led by outspoken, fearless, and bold head coach Dan Lanning.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Oregon head coach Dan Lanning is seen as a Dan Campbell-like NFL coaching candidate after leading the Ducks to the No. 1 spot in two College Football Playoff Rankings.

There have already been two coaches who have been fired (Robert Saleh of the New York Jets and Dennis Allen of the New Orleans Saints) and hot seat is burning in several cities who teams have underachieved more than halfway through the regular season.

Dan Lanning's success at the University of Oregon has reportedly caught the eye of some NFL franchises, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
