DAG 33,852 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Rhett Lashlee #TAM ( Total Auburn Move) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selias 2,398 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I voted Lane but he and Heupel are my 1a and 1b choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutspanther 73 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Dave Aranda or Kiffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Loblaw 636 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 That Ensminger fella is running up the score on UGA right now. Might wanna look at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,813 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I went with Franklin but as of this moment I’d be happy with Stoops, Clark, or possibly Kiffin. I’d even say vet Briles and see if that’s a possibility. May still be too soon for him and Freeze though both will be back at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFriction 1,179 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I selected other for 3 reasons: 1. Given the large contract, I think Gus will be given one more year. 2. All of these options either are terrible, are not a good fit for Auburn, or are probably too expensive given the buyout. 3. Given reasons 1-2, I don’t think he should be fired unless we completely lose out (including liberty). We may see corrections in the off-season that remedy some of the problems from this year. And, even if we don’t, I think we are better off waiting another year so that Gus’s buyout is lower (which will make our budget for a new coach higher).

CR 2,414 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I had Kiffin, Neal Brown or Dave Aranda. Bird tossed Heupel's name out and he sounds impressive. I tried to keep it realistic, hence no Franklin,etc on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve actually been one of his biggest critics, and I blame him for a lot of the problems Chizik had his last year. I also don’t really think he is the right guy. I just think it is strategically a bad move to fire him now. If we hadn’t given him such a big salary at the end of last year, I’d probably be more inclined to be on the fire him bandwagon. As it stands, I don’t think we will have enough financially to dump him and his staff while also hiring a proven winner that will succeed at Auburn. So if we dump him this year, I think it needs to be obvious that he’s completely lost the team, which i don’t think he has as of this point.

Tony87 53 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Out of the above list, Venables has the pedigree and background to be the next big time coordinator that becomes a good HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,813 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 We needed a proven winner to come in and turn the basketball program around. Now we were very lucky that because of the unique situation Bruce was in, he landed here. Otherwise we would never had gotten him. It’s time to get a proven winner to lead the football program. If a change is made for heavens sake let’s do it right. No more up and comers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he has to have some underneath skeletons in his closet. He has not been hired yet as a HC and it just doesn’t make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnEagle79 2,162 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I voted Bill Clark, but Kiffin vs Saban would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I voted Clark but would take any of those people mentioned in the poll. Hell, I would take @bigbird. I'm sure we can get him for way less than $7 million a year and he knows what's wrong with the offense and would be smart enough to not only hire the right people but get out of their way to let them do their job. Bigbird for Head Coach? Anyone else with me? 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleChemE 99 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Dave Aranda. The LSU meltdown would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUsince72 11,084 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 One of these threads has a list of some 15-20 coaches. I believe, @corchjay or @bigbird came up with that and it was a very solid list. Unfortunately, I don't remember which thread... someone else might remember? I've stated more than once, I like the fight and attitude of Derek Mason at Vandy....they even put up solid fights against ND a couple weeks ago and UF today before things sorta derailed. Much like Franklin stepping up to PSU, I wouldn't mind seeing what Mason could do with Auburn talent vs Vandy "talent". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
