[Newbomb 193]

What do you think?

[jared52 4,354]

Safe, decent hire. But Gus will still need a realtor.

could you please add an "I don't care category?"

There is, just don't respond.

Add a screen pass to call against blitzes or more than one pass to a tight every three seasons and we have improved our O immensely.

[alexava 6,972]

I didn't know his name three weeks ago. You don't have enough choices. Wait and see optimist I guess. Just happy no Mazzone. 

[CCslim 56]

neutral

 

basically if he can modernize the passing game and help with predictability of the offense then he is a home run hire.

 

[Sani-Freeze 552]

You need a "let's wait and see" option - I don't know enough about him yet. I know the ASU offense was bad last year, but they were decimated by injuries and were playing a 4th string QB.

At least they had a 4th string QB...

2nd "unofficial" vote here.

Not very exciting.... but not crying in my PBR at least.

We'll see in September.

[JoeBags7277 734]

Not my first choice, but neither was Steele. Perhaps we should hire to fill needs and not to make sexy UofAl .com headlines?

What this young whipper snapper said.

[AURex 1,978]

I'm in the wait and see camp. CCL has more diverse experience than Lashlee and probably better ability to potentially upgrade the passing attack. However, the best OC in the world has no chance to succeed if CGM keeps him in chains. We won't know whether CCL was a good hire until next season.

Then why are you here, run along with all of your whiny friends.

I, however, will pop a PBR and toast "good enough."

Opposite sentiments, same results.

Absolutely.  He's at least worthy of us keeping an open mind and giving him a chance to show AU what he can do.

The PBR's will make the off season go faster... 

[gr82b4au 5,568]

Wait and see. Gus knows this year is it for him if he does not win. I hope he is successful.

And yet you wonder why many here think you are just a troll?   If you really cared about Auburn you would care about this hire.  If you don't care, it exposes you as a fake fan and raises your troll meter exponentially.    But, if you really don't care, then why even comment at all?  Why not just do all of us (and yourself) a favor and stay off the board.

lol....i really bug you, don't i?....i ain't even trying to, either....lol

[oracle79 3,569]

The best thing about this hire is that it wasn't Herb Hand.  No idea how CL will do, but I'm glad it's over with.  With GM as the HC, I doubt it's going to make much difference.  Maybe the QB can be developed better, but I doubt scheme and play calling will drastically change.  Maybe a chance to break away from some of GM's tendencies as happened when RL supposedly was calling plays during the 6 game offensive nirvana last year.  Hopefully whatever happens, we'll have a good idea if GM is the right man for the future of Auburn football, and if not, hopefully the  new prez boots JJ's ass into outer space and hires a proven, competent, experienced AD to start off the process.

[AUIH1 1,515]

It is a meh, wait and see hire for me. Another guy hired who has ties to Gus/AU is concerning.  If our O lights it up under Chipper then I am all in.

Not the proven stud I was hoping for, but this guy is a teacher of some acclaim.  Made Hutson Mason out to be the second coming of Joe Montana when he was coaching here in Georgia and he certainly knows his way around the Alabama high school football landscape.  I think we will see the QB development that has been obviously lacking over the last half dozen years of the Malzahn/Lashlee era.  We could have done way worse.

[milehighfan 1,239]

I'm like most everyone else on the board, I don't know enough about him to sing zippedy-do-dah (I'm sure I didn't spell that right) but  when Steele was hired a lot of posters complained he was DC at Clemson when they gave up 70 to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl and as we saw last year he turned out to be a good hire.
