Oregon’s Lanning and Indiana’s Cignetti Have Different Styles but the Same Goal
Both former Nick Saban assistants pursue national titles with Oregon's aggressive style and Indiana's steady preparation, with Oregon holding a 4-year record of only seven losses.
- On Dec. 31, 2025, two former Alabama assistants, Dan Lanning of Oregon and Curt Cignetti of Indiana, pursue the national championship game with contrasting styles.
- In four seasons, Dan Lanning has lost only seven games and led Oregon Ducks to the 2024 Big Ten title, while Curt Cignetti rebuilt Indiana Hoosiers using his head-coaching experience.
- Lanning showed his willingness to take chances by executing a successful fake punt in the second quarter of a 23-0 CFP quarterfinal victory over Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl.
- Following the quarterfinal, Cignetti said and showed that his immediate focus remains on results, after a 38-3 Rose Bowl victory that extended Indiana to 14.
- They will soon find themselves back in SEC country as Dan Lanning, who signed an extension through January 2032, and the Oregon Ducks chase the national championship game.
