tbone1430 1,346 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Three guys I would be ok with and we have a realistic shot at would be Mullen, sarkisian, or pj fleck. Kelly and briles are not an option. In a perfect world I'd like to see Gus and Jay take the same bus out of Auburn, get a new AD and head coach but be able to hold on to the defensive staff.

Exactly. I live in OKC. LR isn't going anywhere. OU is a top state school and has a ridiculous history. With that said, their fans are a close second to turd fans.

If JJ is making the hire, Venables or possibly Muschamp will be the upper level of JJ's hiring skill set. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want a realistic conversation about who you think you'd want to see in the Orange and Blue next? No Gus talk. Almost anyone from the Bill Snyder coaching tree would be better than what we have. Brent Venables is one of those, and has been groomed by Snyder, Stoops, and Dabo. He would be infinitely more competent to run a program. I wouldn't mind Kevin Steele for the same reason.

War Knight 514 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Winningest, based off percentage, current coaches in college (with 50 win minimum) Lance Leipold // Buffalo Chris Peterson // Washington Jimbo Fisher // FSU David Shaw // Stanford Nick Saban // Alabama Dabo Swinney // Clemson Mark Richt // Miami Garry Patterson // TCU Brian Kelly // Notre Dame Bobby Petrino // Louisville Chuck Martin // Miami, OH Jim Harbough // Michigan Bobby Wilder // Old Dominion The bold coaches are the ones I think we have even a 1% chance of pulling.

After years of this struggle we finally have a DC that knows what he is doing, recruits well, develops players and puts a great defense on the field. We don't want to lose that. I say fire him today, make Steele interim, and sell off all assets to hire John Franklin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredst 9,064 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Why are we having this debate? We should be polling for how long of an extension and how big of a raise we expect JJ to be giving ol' Gus soon, lol. My cynicism is the only thing keeping me going with those two bozos at the top right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubalum16 16 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 If we have to fire Gus Malzahn this year, Jay Jacobs HAS to go. He's whiffed on a ton of hires and now there's the softball scandal. Honestly Auburn's entire athletic department needs change from top to bottom.

All 3 can develop QBs and with all 3 we beat Clemson tonight. This. Get JJ out the door, get a qualified AD like Scott Etheridge in, and have these three names on speed dial if this continues, which again, I have hope it won't.
