I was thrilled when Jacobs got the boot and I'll say that if Jacobs had booted some of these people I would have been impressed and thought Jacobs might be turning over a new leaf. as far as the coach Flo extension? IDK, what was he supposed to do. Hasn't been on the Job six months. Like with Malzahns contract, did Gus earn it? NO! timing is everything.

UGA @ AUBURN 2000

BAHAHAHAHA............ Florida is doomed!

My money is on Pruitt or Jimbo. That being said has anyone taken the time to read Lindey's? All the coaches comments are pretty negative this year. And yes, Gus under achieved.

Steele happened though.

I feel like this is getting away from the topic but I agree, MSU did not want Dan going anywhere. He did what? 8-9 straight bowl games at MSU is huge. Problem is MSU may never be a NC caliber program. Florida is. Dan left because he wants a natty. Plain and simple. he can do that at UF. That being said I am not impressed with his recruiting at UF so far.

Well UT was interested before they fired their AD.................

So I was listening to a podcast and they were discussing that this would be Kevin Steeles last year at Auburn before taking a HC vacancy. I started thinking what possibly opening could come up that Steele would want, so I went over to coaches hot seat and saw that Gus is 16 on the hot seat. Seriously? For a variety of reasons I find that hard. Yes we are all disappointed with the SEC title game and how our players didn't even show up against UCF, but beating UGA an Bama, handing Saban is worst defeat at Bama. I just donot see Gus in the top 25 of the hot seat list right now. Also Barry Odom was 17. I figured after his 6 game win streak last year he would be a little more safe too.

Jacobs burned some bridges.... he had this too big to fail mentality. I really want to watch Greene over the next five year. I am hopeful. I am not saying Greene is the answer, he may not be, but we needed a change and I am rooting for him. I love Auburn. I miss Auburn. I want Greene to succeed. WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!

I am just happy to have new blood running the athletic department. There are a lot of jokes but really I would just like to know what people have heard. Also I figured his would be something more fun to talk about than a Gus bashing thread.

Anyone hear anything as to how AD Greene is running the athletic department? Leadership style vs Jacobs? Any small or large changes he has made? How to employees like him? Has he done any fundraising yet?

Vandy really came up short on the transition. I like Mason, as far as his preseason interviews,but I don't think he realizes what conference he is in. Currently I am disappointed with Mullens current recruiting class. Only seven three stars. I am going to pick Muschamp coming in second behind Smart this year. West? Gus or Saban depending on which Gus shows up.

This is a fact. Coaches have no say in this. $200 handshakes happen almost everywhere

If Gus could swing a 10-3 season I would be happy. Gus doesn't have to win a Natty. Just consecutive double digit seasons. I mean look at Spurrier at Carolina with three straight 11 win seasons. Its not impossible. Yet right now Gus has shown 8-5, 7-6, 8-5 as his consistency. Honestly he reminds me of Tubs, does just enough to save his job. There is no reason why Gus shouldn't go 9-3 this year and win a freaking January bowl game. We will see though. I would like to think he learned a permanent lesson from LSU. Oh Yeah...........Jacobs is gone too!!!!!!!!!!

All opinions wanted. Not counting Gus, Smart, or Saban, which coach or coaches will have a major year in the SEC. I do not believe Mason, Morris, Luke, Orgeron, or Odom will be doing anything special. Fisher, Stoops, Muschamp, Mullen, Pruitt, and Moorhead are all very intriguing. I don't think A&M has a good QB situation. Pruitt inherited a talented UT program with no heart. Stoops has been building a respectable program as well as Muschamp. Thought?
