CR 2,427 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Imagine you were an OC and saw Rhett take same position for almost half the salary at UConn. Gus has a well deserved reputation for being stubborn and unwilling to make changes to what he thinks still works offensively. The school president is on his way out the door and I'm sure word is out on working for JJ. Other than a fat check there's not a lot here to make someone with options as an OC think this would be a good career move. You could be easily be looking at a 1 year gig and then be looking for a new job for 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing but coaching for an SEC team with a recent history of playing in the National Championship game, who has a solid defense and just landed the #1 juco QB in the country who will be with the team another 2-3 years. Oh yea... and there's the solid tradition of the school backed by being in the top 12 football schools of all time. Plus you get to work directly with one of the most prolific OCs to have ever coached in football... and, last but not least, you also get to live and work in Auburn.

Truth is, none of us on here really know what's going on and it seems like some just want to get mad at pure speculation. Hell, we could have a guy hired for all we know..

3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 With friends like these, who needs enemies?You guys are so negative, when in reality, there are very few of you on here that have any factual information to base your "knowlege" on. Geez. The kindergarten teacher in me says "Be patient." and "Be kind." Carry on. Have fun, I guess. I know my opinion won't stop any of the speculation. A lot of this exact same kind of talk was aimed at Gene Chizik and Gus was the genius. Now Gus is the stubborn and paranoid one? (That should actually be..."on which to base your knowlege." Sorry grammar police.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwing up the last 2 years with bad QB management doesn't change that fact. He's just been too stubborn to get out of the way and let the ones who actually have time to coach an offense full time do it. Hopefully that changes. If not he will be gone and I am sure he realizes this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Builder 86 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I am not as connected as I was but you would think Gus or JJ would be more pro-active. Forget they really never made plans for a good back up quarterback ( much less a starter) but not having a short list with feelers out for an OC is another example. Dont tell me that neither Gus nor JJ anticipated Lashlee leaving. You would think behind the scene contacts via discrete sources or agents would have been in place before Lashlee's announcement / departure. Time should have already been spent getting the best OC long before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I read on Bleacher report that Yurcich pulls his name out of Auburn's OC search. Now who does Gus bring in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
