KnightTiger 205 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 @Josh_Moon · 28m Was just told by 2 very good sources who have intimate knowledge of the Auburn coaching search that the last 24 hours, & #stopsteele campaign, has blown up a 3-yr plan to undermine Gus Malzahn & get Kevin Steele the job. The man they say is behind it: former trustee Bobby Lowder quote: @Josh_Moon · 19m The sources said the plan from the outset was to fire Gus, name Steele interim, have a quiet search that ended with Steele as the best, most financially safe option. There was never a serious plan to pursue any other coach. And then word leaked about Steele ... quote: @Josh_Moon · 20m Inside the campus, those not on board with the plan tried to stall it, the sources said. They convinced Gogue to name a search committee for the purposes of slowing things down. They didn't expect such a sharp backlash from fans and donors. quote: @Josh_Moon · 20m The #stopsteele campaign and thousands of phone calls and emails have really caused several people to pause. And now there is a renewed sense that an actual search might take place. Might be too late on Cristobal, though. Next options, sources said, are Napier and Clark.

BigBlueWDE 1,136 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Now I would bet that Crepea plays the board vote on the extension approval as definitive closure of MC to Auburn. I'd be interested to see if he can actually get a MC quote for the story. We should know very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUApostle 7,648 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Just now, Zeek said: ? Cristobal still has to sign and accept Sure, but how hard we really going after Cristobal if 3 of our biggest players are all in on Steele. Ship may have sailed. We're not united in this effort and that's hurting this search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps people on the BOT agreed that if Gus couldn't turn it around, they'd fire him and promote Steele. KS may not have even been in on the plan. That's pretty reasonable to believe. Just a matter of who those people are- if even plural- and if they're even still on the BOT. Seems he's clarifying that it was pretty much just Lowder. Lol.

This is just a formal offer. If he doesn’t come here it’s absolutely because he wants to be there and not the money because if you don’t think we can beat 6 yr 27 mil contract I’ve got some oceanfront property here in Tennessee for you. One more time for the people that can’t seem to read. MC definitely isn’t out yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlueWDE 1,136 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Actually he has posted the story he has been alluding to on Twitter. He ended up modifying the "fearless and true" to poke AU btw. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2020/12/university-of-oregon-approves-6-year-273-million-revised-contract-for-mario-cristobal.html NO quote from Super Mario.

Bro Johnny Mac 1,391 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 No way the Harbert faction leaked the CKS stuff... If all this is true... a rival faction in the PTB leaked it, hoping to get the backlash from fans to stop the CKS hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I keep posting at this rate, I'll end up claiming that I fired Gus from the Grassy Knoll so that I could promote @GwillMac6 to the BOT so that he could then fire Kevin Steele so that I could hire Kevin Steele... because he would be available... and we wouldn't have to pay his buyout because we already paid his buyout...
