bigbird 60,578 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 13 minutes ago, I_M4_AU said: @bigbird, this may be a dumb question; but how are coaches hired? We, as fans, only can go by records, coaching style and perceived fit for the position. When an AD does a search (or a search committee) do they include a coaches intended plans for a school based on personnel, recruiting strategies, in game decision making, etc? Can an interview be set up to include scenario based questions? I would hope Greene will bring a more refined interview process than what has been seen before. Pedigree is definitely important especially if that pedigree includes some big time coaches at big time institutions. Heupel will be interesting to watch this year. It seemed he developed his backup QB enough to do an adequate job. Interviews usually will have questions as far as where a coach sees a program, the direction they want to go, and how they plan on getting there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me pose another thought; how different do you see AD Green approach to a coaching hire than J Jacobs? Jacobs seemed to rely on previous relationships with Auburn and Green may not have as many. Also, do you think Green would have a more professional approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ADG is very well connected with other established ADs. I doubt he would rely on a committee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see both range and intensity of our next football hire. ADG has a chance to cement himself here at AU.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 This does little to contradict any stereotypes about Sweden. (Not that I know of any bad Swedish stereotypes. Like, they have the best stereotypes.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_M4_AU 7,914 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 @bigbird, how is it you alway find the ones that have such a passion for not being proven wrong and don’t want to just let it go? It’s an amazing talent to route these people out. I guess it’s why you’re a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, they- to borrow from our boy Benny Franklin- are proof that Satan exists and does not want us to be happy. Good vocalist but lawd they became a totally different and inferior band with him in it. Sorry about the fever. You made a joke about football season and I thought you meant you just had football fever. Having both is brutal. Glad your intellect remains solid, though.

around4ever 4,139 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I know you are, my brother. I can't imagine what y'all are going through. I've said it before, James is the toughest person I know. To go through what he goes through with the bleeds has got to be hard. It's also very hard for you and Amanda (and Madison). Y'all are strong, faithful people. God will pull you through. He is making y'all stronger. He will not give you more than you can handle. Please know there is an army out here Praying for y'all. If we can help in any other way, let us know. Love you, my brother! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
