We are having trouble finding one because the power brokers have failed. They are not going anywhere. THEY own the table right now. Power brokers haven't failed......you-all said a mouth full when you said 'Gus has failed'. They anted-up on the gus bus and now it seems that the octane level in the tank ain't what is should be because Gus has been pumping 87 instead of 93. This is all on Gus. But one thing for sure, if at this time next year we are on our keypads discussing a new HC, then the PTB WILL ante-up. And I don't believe that they will hold back either. It won't be no penny ante stuff either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did they expect? Until the PTB hire a competent AD, Gus is probably the best we can hope for. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They canned a man that "exemplified the Auburn Creed" and they used a group of true "Auburn Men" to find his replacement. The PTB should much, if not most of the blame for the current state of affairs with the football program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufan57 922 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Arkansas's Dan Enos with a contract extension and raise to $800k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker 2,457 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Just thinking here...Kingsberry is on the hot seat in a big way. TX Tech led nation in offense yds per game last year. Their OC seems legit and had a 1500 yd rusher in 2015 and his soph QB tossed for 4700 yds. He also played in the spread and only been a spread offense. If his ship is on fire, he may be a good coach willing to take our money. Upsides: "young and energetic", sure knows the spread, makes $550, worked under 3 different HC (some experience), and I keep making this point: he recruited Stidham. We want the offense to take off, well the new OC and Stidham better be on the same sheet of paper. Players love the spread at TTU - its the only thing to love about Lubbock. Downsides: he has only been the spread, not sure if he called the plays at TTU or was a puppet ( I imagine at $550, he called plays), has strong TX roots - hard to pull him (but his ship is on fire). Name: Eric Morris (someone posted his name earlier, but no traction) I think he should be vetted. Find me a team trying to hire an OC with more talent from the line to the receivers than we have....

He's far from safe, though one could argue that he should be. Jones may be suffering somewhat, but the truth is that in his 4 yr stretch at UT he has gone 5-7/7-6/9-4/9-4 and sits at 3-0 in bowl games, which has been a better run than they've had since they fired Fulmer. Their Administration shouldn't be after his ass for that 4 yr stint considering how they have been in the crapper for so all these years. Gus has gone 12-2/8-5/7-6/8-5 in his 4 yr stretch and has gone 1-3 in bowl games, which is mediocre by AU standards. Our Administration's patience is wearing thin at this point.

I honestly don't think the administration at either school has issues with the coaches... it's the big pocket boosters who expect SEC Championships and victories against bama.

That's the word on Woody right now I have seen this before and do know that Woody has a lot to prove before he can ever get on the field.

They pour hundreds of thousands into the program, the program accepts the $$ and says thank you sir. They want some damn bragging rights when they drop that kind of coin on the table. The last thing they want is to have to sit back and watch the team take the field, look ill prepared with coaches freaking out on the sidelines calling weird plays that make zero sense. They won't stand for it 2-2/12 seasons in a row - they have to flex their muscles and pull the puppet strings to get their way. It's the nature of the beast in big time football.

Chances are we have a REALLY good season next year and for however long stidham is healthy/does not go pro. Then everyone is back to thinking gus is a genius again then once stidham leaves it will be back to business as usual and 8-5 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
