PUB78 1,358 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 If Gus goes 8-4 and loses to UGA and Bama, probably will be fired. He will take his $20+ million buyout and become the new HC at Arkansas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburnfan91 1,407 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Here's a name nobody has mentioned who's gone under the radar: Tom Allen at Indiana Indiana is 6-2 right now and just beat Nebraska. Allen has coached in the SEC. He was the LB/ST coach at Ole Miss under Hugh Freeze from 2012-2014. Then Allen spent one year as South Florida's DC in 2015. Some may remember that Allen was a candidate to be our DC at the end of 2015 after Muschamp left but we ended up hiring Kevin Steele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 My favorites are............ 1. Bob Stoops (Oklahoma legend...knows how to win big) 2. Matt Rhule (Baylor) He has turned around 2 bad programs Temple & Baylor. 3. PJ Fleck (has turned around bad programs in his young career and has Minnesota playing lights out) 4. Bill Clark, UAB (Like Lazarus in the Bible....he resurrected that program from the dead.) 5. Mike Norvell (has done wonders at Memphis) Any of these coaches would be a super hire no doubt. I do not see the love for Cristobal. I know he is doing well at Oregon, but was not a good HC in his previous stint. I would like to get a young HC, but Stoops transcends the age barrier. I am not big on hiring a coordinator as HC when there are so many very good HCs out there that would come to Auburn for the right price. I would love to see Brent Dearmon as the OC. He has woeful Kansas putting up some big numbers. Whoever gets the gig, should make absolutely sure to keep Kevin Steele as DC as well as Garner the D-line coach. He has proven himself worthy time after time. If Gus could run the offense as well as Steele does the defense, we would be undefeated and likely ranked #1 in the country.

Norvell intrigues me. He’s a Gus protege but I haven’t seen enough to know if it’d be getting more of the same. I’ve heard people insinuate that he wouldn’t be a good hire for other big time jobs due to some vague reason. Memphis has been consistently good since he’s gotten there. May be a better fit at Arkansas to see how he does at a big time program. PJ is also interesting but I need to see another season at Minnesota to prove this year isn’t just a weak schedule or a lucky year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have decided they should hire me. I'd take 1.5 million a year dump the rest into coordinators, allow them hire/select their own staff. Walk up and down the field and act like Im on the headset talking to them and only make the calls for going for it on 4th and stuff. Then show up at all your guys QB clubs and brag about how awesome my staff is, and the facilities that I need, and take all your money for the good of my program.

WalkingCarpet 1,379 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I'm going to need to hear this again from @bigbird or @ellitoror wde or someone else who's connected... can we actually pay Gus $25 million to disappear if November bottoms out again and the locker room implodes? I can't find anything that says a buyout near that amount has ever been paid to a college coach. That seems like an amount of money that's going to warp the space time continuum around college football. As much as we're pulling our hair out I have to believe he's here at least one more year unless him and the admin negotiate a departure so they can both save face.

It all comes down to how we look in our losses (yes, Mikey...if we lose). No matter what some say, the UF and LSU performances hurt Gus. Joey bailing mid-season is a bad look. The handling of his situation and the explanation given was not sufficient. It's not the first time in his tenure where the locker room is in jeopardy.

I admit though, I wondered this after the GA game last year too, so guess I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
