Eagle-1 3,821 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I am hereby applying for the job. I could use a few million dollars. See, I've got this new play. I line the H-back up at QB, he fakes a sweep to the slot receiver, does a pirouette, and then.... Well, never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle-1 3,821 Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 We could have had Gary Patterson, but Jacobs is an idiot. I have remained relatively silent about Jacobs, but I will just say I knew the jerk when we were at Auburn at the same time. Didn't like him then, but have not seen him in 30 odd years. He has the job he has for one reason. He is Pat Dye's boy. That is all I'm going to say about that for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Make the first 4 here tell you no then move to the remainders Chris Petersen James Franklin Mike Gundy Jimbo Fisher PJ Fleck Jeff Bromm Craig Bohl DJ Durkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle-1 3,821 Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 I actually think Brohm might be my first choice. I don't think Fleck will come south. Brohm has SEC ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason our last few coaching hires have been unproven Terry Bowden from Samford, average Ole Miss coach Tubs, ridiculously under qualified Iowa State coach Chizik and unproven at the highest level Arky State coach Gus. NO PROVEN COACH WILL COME HERE BECAUSE OF THE POLITICS INVOLVED AND THE PEOPLE WITH THEIR HANDS IN EVERYTHING. Its not just the SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid you are right....for 4 or 5 years we've watched USCe, Georgia, Florida, LSU, Tennessee, TAMU, Mississippi and Missouri try to find the coach who will restore their programs to some place they might have been in the past. And look what they ended up with? UGA might come out ok...but beyond that some pretty good schools and programs ended up hiring whoever would say "yes". I'm not saying keep Gus...but just suggesting that the decision for his successor will likely be just about as deflating as the outcome of today's game. I remember how I felt when I heard on the radio that we had hired Terry Bowden....my first thought was....OMG...we've given up the idea of having a serous program. I expect that again... sorry, just can't help it and history is on my side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless AU gets lucky with some hot shot unproven guy like Dabo then it will be the same ol same ol. I really don't expect it to change and with the state of the entire athletic dept right now I can't say I have ever been this down about Auburn athletics.
