I think it's likely Stidham goes wherever Kendall Briles goes, unless of course Briles elects to stay at Baylor. Yeah. That seems unlikely though.

SumterAubie 3,029 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Odd how posters here will jump on the least little mistake made by another poster, regardless of it's relevancy. It as if they would rather argue over these errors than actually contribute something meaningful to the thread (similar to what I am doing with this post). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to say your wrong but I have heard Jay Jacobs job is more on the line than Gus's job. I know Golf would disagree, but from what I understand Jacobs will not be allowed to hire another football coach seeing as how he has failed on Chizik and the fact that there is a discussion on Gus. Lets look at the facts, Jay Jacobs requirements to be Auburn's head coach is you had to previously have been a coordinator at Auburn. So Al Borges, Will Muschamp, Rhett Lashlee, Ellis Johnson, Kevin Still, Noel Mazzone? That would be Jacobs next list. And before anyone says that is stupid let me remind you Jacobs hired a 5-19 Gene Chizik and fans bought in to that so I am sure Jacobs could sale the list. Anyways WDE what have you heard? Are any boosters ready to boot JJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told sooner than later Gogue will be announcing his retirement as President of AU. A search committee for Gogue's replacement is being formed as I type this. FWIW. Well I know Gogue just had a house built in Auburn. So maybe that is is second retirement home. He also has one in New Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster who I pointed out a mistake won't hesitate a nanosecond to correct others, meaningful or meaningless. So since he's so detailed in every little thing being correct...I obliged.

Probably, but looking at other programs like Tennessee and Southern Cal, both schools booted their AD due to poor performance in men's sports. Mike Hamilton "Resigned" from UT as their AD. One Year Later Dooley was fired. Mike Garrett was fired from Southern Cal fir numerous reasons, ie mens basketball became an after thought. Three years later Kiffin gets booted. That being said I think USC fired Hayden and Sarkisian at the same time so maybe Auburn would dismiss both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have come to believe Gus is really good with X'x and O's but as far as individually developing players, specifically QB and receiver I think he is dropping the ball.

Which is why Gus has always adapted his offense to his players instead of vice versa. It works mostly, but will never consistently win championships. You have to bring players in who fit and coach them to fit what you do best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,039 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I admitted my mistake & apologized. That should have been the end of the derailment. No other comments were needed or necessary. Get Back to Stidham now or this thread gets locked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Just noting that USCw and UTk have had their problems with NCAA and legal issues...it was not just W-L. In fact i think just about every AD fired in recent years has lost their jobs over things other than just football W-L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoetTiger 1,896 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I doubt Stidham comes if Gus is fired as a result of Gogue retiring and a subsequent Jacobs firing...??? ....I think the kid ends up wherever the elder Briles ends up or his son...

I don't know who you're talking about but if you're talking about the person that I'm thinking of, then I'll say that if you message him about it, he's going to be cool about it and apologize that he comes off as that way.

AUwent 3,739 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) If it can be shared, are we currently the leader? Or does he have any? This guy would very likely be the cure for our current QB curse. We MUST get him! Just imagine how good the offense could be by 2018: Stidham with a year under his belt and Barrett ready to go, an experienced and deep RB corps led by Kam and Kerryon, NCM with a couple years of starting experience, a veteran HB in Chandler Cox, and a line experienced enough to not be a liability. Yeah, that would be good. Edited August 10, 2016 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUwent 3,739 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) ^The thought of losing on another QB to Sumlin--the same guy that started our freefall--makes me nauseous. I feel Briles and Stidham are the only way out of said freefall. Edited August 10, 2016 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
