Apraser99 168 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 GM - Basically a High School Coach CL - Basically a High School Coach KS - He's fine but a job jumper HH - Job Jumper RG - I can live with him GB - He's okay TH - I like him but his connection is Arkansas LP - I like him but his connection is Arkansas State TW - Doing a good job but again basically a high school coach KB - A WR coach...what? Connection is Arkansas State and recent former player RR - Time for a change at strength and conditioning - Connection is Arkansas State Too many high school coaches and connections to Arkansas/Arkansas State - Auburn should not be a training ground for coaches. I think for the most part that's where we are now. My 2 cents FWIW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 It would be nice to have D1 coaches. Most of our defensive coaches are coaching at a D1 level I feel tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUApostle 7,651 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Great Travis Williams Kevin Steele Rodney Garner (major improvements last couple of years out of him) Good Tim Horton (is he really responsible for ST's?...keeps him from the great category) Greg Brown Chip Lindsey (could be in the Meh category...not sure where he ends and Gus begins) Meh Larry Porter (we have TE's?) Ryan Russell (Awful lot of injuries) Get em Out of Here Kodi Burns Herb Hand Gus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries are starting to affect DB play but he inherited most of these guys and all are playing better than previous year. Only time will tell if he is a top notch recruiter and this is a tough year to be recruiting for Auburn, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people on here think 13 stops is a lot, but reality is when you have been doing something for almost 40 years then once every 4-5 years is not that big of a deal. Especially based on the turnover of head coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 13 stops in 37 years of coaching is not that abnormal in that profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Greg Brown is a job jumper. I wouldn’t call Kevin Steele one though. Regardless, I just don’t foresee this staff being here next year. There will be a lot of changes at the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 You lost me at saying "I can live with Rodney Garner". He's universally recognized as one of the best d-line coaches in the country and you're saying "Sure, I guess he's fine". Devil's breakdown is much more realistic and fair. I still think CL is a dang good coordinator, but Gus is killing any chance of showing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apraser99 168 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Devil's breakdown is his opinion. My post was info taken from bios and my opinion. I like RG. He is one of the few I would like to see stay. You read more into my comment about Garner than what was there. At any rate, it is time for change.

aubaseball 2,596 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 RG was an offensive lineman in college. He is a hard nosed coach. But if it were me, I would prefer a hard nosed coach that has actually played the position and knows little tricks of the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jAUSon 2,836 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 KB is a question mark hire to me. But seems like this staff could've gone all the way with this team, if their HC would just walk off and have a cigarrette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUIH1 1,515 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I am ok with the entire D staff too, but I would not want a new HC to be made to keep them if that new HC was not comfortable with them. To me, TWill would be the one on the D staff that I would hate to lose the most. Horton is the only one on the O staff worth keeping and that includes Gus of course. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halftime Saturday. Every practice before last years Clemson game, how else do you explain that 5 quarterback joke. Heck that cigarette may have been laced with other hallucinogens.

I put my list out because I just wanted to look at it a different way...not so much as job hoppers or connections to arky, but as my perceived value to the program. You're right...it's all opinions.

bigbird 60,512 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Can't really give Porter a "meh". Its not his fault his position is never used. D staff is elite. I would keep chip and porter and remove the rest from the O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
