Dude has 1 heck of a coaching resume. Look at this mean mug!!! He would add some much needed good ol fashion CUSSIN in to the offensive meetings room!! Something that is sorely missed! lol. You know he would get after them dudes like garner does in the defensive meeting rooms!!! lmao not to sound stupid, but who is this player?

The guy flat out transforms his players. He made Deshaun Davis, a 3 star with no size, into an All-SEC player and leader. Since he arrived on the plains, linebacker play is night and day different. And it's not like T-Will is working with much more talent than the previous LB coach had. The players are in meetings and practice with these guys all the freaking time. You can't tell me their ability to develop and coach the position means nothing. You make a very good point and I agree but I also think running backs have a lot less on their plate than linebackers. Your number is called and you run hard. I think much of the running backs success hinges on personal physical attributes and vision more than anything.

As a proud Alabamian, I am not proud of that fact. But it's true. They also believe it is a private university and not public. I'm personally proud of the fact that the rest of the country see's us very differently than another university in Alabama and it's fans. Plus it just chaps those Bama fans when you tell them that mistake is a compliment and not an insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought Auburn was in GA and when I corrected them — they would have a puzzled look on their face. They would inevitably respond with something like “But Auburn is a great university, how can it be in Alabama?” It got to the point that I wouldn’t correct them. If they said Georgia, I would say close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker 2,457 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 My last thought on the matter: If we are not getting a HR hire (which Gus could not get), give me Caddy b/c he will bring a ton of passion and can make instant connections with recruits. He knows Auburn and the NFL. I truly do not believe it takes super coaching to be a strong or great RB coach. This isn't like coaching DBs or a QB. I'd rather have Caddy vs an up and comer from a non-SEC school, any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I have a good feeling about this. I did not about Kodi, but he has landed some monster talent.

That was my first thought too. Gruden didn't want any dents in his caddy till he got it to tampa so he could break the crap outta it himself.

Scotty2Hotty 520 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 On 1/23/2019 at 3:58 PM, ClaytonAU said: Pretty lukewarm on this hire. Anyone care to tell me why they’re excited for this? What RB recruit located in the Southeast is going to tell Cadillac “No thanks” on letting him in the front door? Will he get his pick of the litter every time? No. But they will all listen. Makes me think back to Dyer, Lattimore and Seastrunk all had AU in their Top 2. That was purely based off our position coaches’ clout at that time. It certainly wasn’t because of our HC. We only landed one of the three, but Auburn was on all of their minds. And that’s what the name Cadillac will bring back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luper had been coaching in college ball for 10 years at that point. And he definitely didn't get his "clout" from his playing days, whereas that is Caddy's primary pitch. Luper was an extremely different hire than Caddy and in fact the exact kind of hire that people are curious why we didn't make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine we'd have any issues with that no matter who we hired. Goodness knows we never had an issue while Horton was here. We just don't close on the big dogs and it seems that's where experience would count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
