I do wonder if this issue was the thing that caused the false start in the hiring process. Everything may have been agreed with Oregon and their new coach, and then the issue of coaching the CFP games became a glitch that had to be resolved with Georgia before his hiring could be announced.

It was reported in a few places that the delay at the end was because Lanning wanted to coach Georgia through the playoff and Oregon finally gave in on that.

Somewhat amazingly, at least to me, Lanning supposedly will coach Georgia in the CFP: https://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-bulld...BROUBTYKY/

Kirby Smart kept coaching the Alabama defense after taking the Georgia job a few years ago, so it makes sense. Not that unusual.
