Timeslider 6 269 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I suppose you all are talking about bringing someone in for OC. I don't think any of that will make a difference, unless you're saying would completely turn it over to the new OC, (which i haven't seen anything that makes me think that will happen) we need Gus gone.

I'm not sure they would want to risk any more. As far as baby Briles wanting it? I think he could be persuaded by Gus and Art. I rather just hire Baby Briles as Head Coach and call it a day than endure another season of this offense! lol. Bo Nix in a Kendal Briles offense?! YES PLEASE! I want some of that.

Ever wonder why Stidham signed with us? He was told KB was going to be his OC again. When JJ balked, Gus had to fly to Waco and have a sit down with JS. Art and KB were there to help smooth things over with JS. That's unfortunate. I knew why Stidham came. And I assumed Kam was the same. I didn't know the rest of the details of why it fell through.My what could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it absolutely would if he were to work under Gus. Defensive Coordinator under Gus? GREAT! Do your thing. DO whatever you want. Gus is hands off. Offensive side of the ball? yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh. Enough said. KB is one I think that would be able to push back against Gus' interference for a couple reasons. First, Kendall has the past success to prove his way right. Secondly, Gus has the upmost respect for Art and would be less inclined to interfere.

Plus, I would expect if KB were to agree to come be Auburn's OC, it would probably be after a conversation that went something like.... KB: "If I agree, I have TOTAL control. None of this 'your run game, my pass game'...which suspiciously still looks like YOUR pass game BTW..." Gus: "Agree." KB: "That means I bring in offensive coaches I want. I'm not hancuffed to your 'yes men' too." Gus: ".........." KB: "I mean it. It's in my contract too." Gus (begrudgingly): "Okay. I guess so.... Agree." KB: "War Eagle!" Us fans: "Yay!!!!" Gus: 😣🙄😥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 33,852 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Honestly , I would fear KB would be ruined by his head coach. I wanted KB from the get go. I am sure things happened underneath the scene but I don’t want anymore Gus hangovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Bruce Pearl did was make what would have amounted to minor infractions into majors ones by lying about them. The underlying rules that were broken were minor (Like the cookout at his house) I just don't see including Pearl here as appropriate. Not really similar. Okay well in the grand scheme of things, Carroll oversaw Reggie Bush getting some cash and a car (which Carroll still ADAMANTLY denies involvement in), which isn't a criminal scandal like what's happened at Ohio State or Baylor or Penn State. None of it is a crime. But it is still ethically sketchy and dishonest, so it's not a good look either. That is why it's similar to Pearl and Chip Kelly. I will say that Carroll's run at USC involved way more serious NCAA violations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUght2win 6,782 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The more I see Mike Gundy, the more I absolutely love the guy. I think he would be perfect at Auburn. He loves his players. He thrives as a second fiddle in his own state. He wins huge games. He has 9+ wins in 8 of last 10 seasons. Throw the bank at the guy. He and that offense would be fun for sure. And he has a Pat Dye like fighter's attitude that would fit in well with our program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His post game pressed after beating Texas was very impressive and he never fails to support his players 100% when the situation calls for it.

He has had 4 years as an OC and worked under Art, Lane, and Major. That's not the strongest tree. Of those two options, I'd bring him in as OC and let him continue to build his arsenal and be groomed a little more. If we stick with Gus, I'd prefer KB Branch out and develop even further so he is ready to slide in when Gus does leave. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's Gus' OC, two possibilities. 1) He's successful and Gus stays. 2) Gus continues his ways and KB's career is derailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
