I am sure he was encouraged to take this job.

McGriff to AU has been trying to happen for a while. He is who I'd expect back

Crime Dawg and Woodson is a NASTY combo on the trail. LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

I would like to be the first to say,  “told you so” in reference to his ability to recruit and or develop.  

He is too much of a journeyman to prove himself otherwise.   

Yep. If we go back to his hire, you’d find I’d said the same thing.

I thought we played well when he was here

Purdue......Big Ten probably a good place to be a DB coach in a league where most teams run the ball every chance they get. 

I would not want to be a DB coach in the Big 12.

I got down voted by bird for that post,   It is not mean spirited at all... it is just stating the obvious about his journeyman ways.   Glad you agree.  We saw it coming from a year away... lol.

And the dump across the state has lost more coaches than we have without a coaching change. What is your point? Coaches come and go all the time, not always because something else is going on behind the scenes. People make it what they want to fit their agenda. We will still field a team with coaches so who cares. 

The dump across the state is in trouble too. They have a boat load of talent on their bench. NS keeps his analyst positions stocked with qualified replacements but he has had some good coaches leave this year for equal positions elsewhere it will come back to haunt him come season time. Problem is unlike them we are not filling those positions with experienced folks but start ups, much like those in the non P5 groups.

Bird was a pretty big defender of Ronald McDonald. And yeah I get it. It’s hard to warm up to someone who is probably going to leave sooner than later.

Crime Dog never sold his house in Auburn and his family never moved with him. I know I live across the street!

Didn't his son stay with AU as a walk on and not go with him to Ole Miss?

[WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737]

Wow. Brown and Woodson were a damn good tandem. 

[doc4aday 1,887]

I hope we get McGriff back in the fold. He did a good job and is a solid recruiter. I liked Coach Brown, but if a coach wants to move on, then more power to him!

you know, getting McGee to come home would be a nice get. I doubt it will happen.

What are you doing on here then!  Go over and ask them what’s up!

Yeah.

I dont know what anybody saw in Greg Brown to the point of him being defended like he was this season. There wasnt many worthwhile DBs brought into the fold, the ones that were new didnt look amazing and the ones that were here already looked worse. Not all of this was him or their fault, the scheme also got exposed often, but it's not like we lost anyone of incredible value here

 

McGriff looked like thrice the coach to my eyes, I'd hope he'd be brought back and maybe that would a light a fire under JD to come back to his senses 

[psyfro 26]

Why not get an additional o-line coach for Tackles and let Woodson keep the secondary for himself? I believe other programs have had two oline coaches. Maybe Gus is looking for the o-line recruiting coach and also keeping JBG?

[Randman5000 4,223]

Cue the folks..." Ah he never liked Auburn, he wasn't a good coach anyway.. he sucked." Yadadada. 

[Auburn2Eugene 2,317]

Looking over his job history, I can't see why anyone was surprised by this move. 

I for one, will be happy to get the Crime Dog back on staff. However looking at things realistically, he will probably only be around for a couple of seasons at the most before he would get another DC job...
