SKIPPER_01 99 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I said it. Mario Cristobal. Head Coach. Football. Auburn University. 1. Played and coached Oline. 2. Has head coaching experience. 5 yrs at FIU (built them from nothing). Plus 2 yrs at Oregon. 3. Coached 4 yrs for Saban at bama 4. Great recruiter. Has spent career recruiting Florida and Alabama. If we fire Gus....we should hire Cristobal. All the other choices suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigskinPat 2,568 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I would not be disappointed if he was our future head coach. Did he express interest in the Auburn job in the past or am I imagining that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnEagle79 2,163 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Would be surprised if he'd sign up to leave a conference full or softies for the SEC West. Also, you're gonna get roasted for starting this thread. But in terms of him being a good hire, I'd agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randman5000 4,223 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 No way he leaves Oregon for our crap show, he's about to dominate the PAC 12 for a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin149 390 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Could be a meat grinder too. We have fired one coach after going 20-1-1 in his first 2 seasons and a few games after winning the SECW. The next coach beat our most hated rival 6 years in a row and ran him off after the next season. Next coach got fired 2 seasons after winning a national championship. Everybody's chomping at the bit to fire this one after he has won the SECW (twice), appeared in the NC game, beat the #1 team TWICE in a 3 weeks span a couple of years ago. Has as many wins against Saban as do Dabo and Freeze. PTB that meddles in day-to-day football operations. Sounds like a great place to work!

Not to mention 4-3 against Mississippi State. Just don't see how Auburn could hope to do any better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think it’s all about fit. If you can find a coach who fits your culture and utilize your resources to its peak, it definitely can work.

tbone1430 1,346 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 This would be one of the few coaches I’d slide a blank check over to and make him turn us down. He’s probably one of the few established head coaches we’d have a chance at getting instead of taking a swing at an up and comer. He’s an elite recruiter, can coach o line and evaluate line talent which is critical for any league much less the SEC. #Cristoballin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is actually one of the most difficult jobs in the country. Auburn is a top 10 ish job. How the hell are we the most difficult job in the country? It is freaking Oregon. We are a much better job than them and always will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
