So if Lashlee leaves here we don't get him, but if KB comes here we do get him? So if KB goes to a P5 school we don't get Stidham? But, if Lashlee stays we may still get him? Who's on first? He was always going to try to wait to see where Briles goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that at least seemed to be the message board timetable We were All In on Stidham the moment he left Baylor. He was not an option til nearly 2 months after LN committed to LSU. LN committed in May. JS left Baylor in July. Even if LN was still committed to AU in July we still would have been on JS the moment he was available.

autan 737 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) I just hope our guys can seal the deal on Friday. I'm sure Gus feels this is the biggest in-home of his career. If it doesn't work out I'm also sure there are more JUCO DT QBs out there somewhere (probably 3 star though).

If the O is spectacular all year long without Stidham then Gus will have succeeded. Looked pretty good til SW and KAM went down....he has to get a backup that can execute when guys get hurt, that is all on his shoulders.

It wasn't because he was playing bad,it was because he was largely ineffective. Our offense was anything but mediocre whenever we could run the ball for 6 yards a pop against horrible teams.' Take this discussion to another thread. Thanks. If not, ill be happy to derail it. Edited December 8, 2016 by aujeff11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,666 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I would be elated if the sugar bowl WAS earned and not given. we backdoored in to it. I could live with it if we were 9-3 with a win over thuga. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he had a top 1, and now he's having to look at alternatives in case he can't land his big fish. Oregeron may look and sound dumb, but he isn't. There is no way he ONLY has Kiffin in mind. Why? Because as everyone else has opined, what does Kiffin gain by making a lateral move to LSU besides rejoining old allies? He has ample time to hold out on Kiffin, but no way there was never a backup plan. To this add to this thread...I don't believe Kendal is or was a Top 3 for Oregeron. But I'm never ceased to be amazed at coaching hires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VipersStrike1 230 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 3 hours ago, PoetTiger said: He knows Auburn wants him, but a few here believe it's all up to the Briles family where he plays. Auburn has put on and has been putting on the full court press on JS. If his decision is solely based on the Briles coaching destination then anything could happen and I am not sure how that would be considered a failure on Gus's part.. I never said losing Stidham would be Gus' fault no matter what happens. In fact, IMO, if his decision is and has been based on where Kendal ends up at, then he has been stringing Gus and Lashlee all along. I know that's the risk you take with recruiting 5-star talent, but given Gus' relationship with Art, and Stidham's maturity in being recruited this time around, I would think he would give Gus some level of clarity by the time they leave on Friday. Either A: I'm waiting on where Kendal ends up at. Or B: I'm signing with AU on Monday. If it's A, then we were stringed all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't control that. I will blame him for putting us in this position as an offense as he IS the HC and his strong suit is offense. Nailed it. Gus HAS to land Stidham in order to seriously challenge for the SEC Championship next season. It's that cut and dry. It's no wonder he and Lashlee are putting the full court press on Stidham, KNOWING he wants to see what happens to Kendal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus will NEVER fire Rhett. Captain and Lieutenant will go down with their ship together. Or Captain will help Lieutenant find another Lieutenant or Captain position, which HAS been taking place the last two seasons.
