Both have been on my want list for years.

I think we know that we couldn’t be that lucky here :(. Seems like it’s just gonna be a typical auburn hire lol

I am fine with accepting MC is off the table. HOWEVER. As I have said previously, all the wording seems to just be the extension was offered...

And it's very strange to me that a man like Cristobal who tweets nonstop hasn't RT the extension or made any statement on social.

Yep, somewhere in the $3 million range that is heavy on INCENTIVES.

Did he explain how? That statement MC gave really seemed to close the door on an Auburn hire, but I'm all in for ripping Oregon's heart out a third time

Explain?  🤣  I'm sure it's the 1% chance but still a chance kind of thing.   Like signing Scooby Williams, there's a chance, but.....

Names not even being mentioned and I'm not sure why:

- Matt Campbell (Iowa State)

- Tom Allen (Indiana)

- Luke Fickell (Cincy)

- Bill O'Brien (Texans, Penn State)

- Dave Clawson (Wake Forest)

- P.J. Fleck (Minnesota)

Why did the board go from Cristobal to "the search is over we're screwed"?

Campbell reportedly told folks only two jobs he would leave Iowa State for would be Ohio State or Notre Dame, Tom Allen was born and raised in Indiana he has possibly his dream job he is a longshot at best IMO

We’d be the worst team in the SEC, much like MSU appears to be, with Mike Leach 

To be fair to leach, he is always terrible in years one then always improves. Teaching people how to run that O takes more than a few fall preseason practices.

Exactly!! And really the way these contracts should be structured.

NJ? Dan Quinn?

This is evidenced by all of the championships he has won after year one.

WHOA I LOVE IT! Do it

I love it.

Get Lane to slow his offense down. Give Mason another chance.

Bring in an up and coming OC to help Lane and more specifically recruiting.

would be interesting to see what he could do with an actual defense

[AU80cruiser 1,102]

I know Penn St had a bad year but why not go after James Franklin? Maybe the buyout isnt too high.

Jboy thinks it will now possibly be 

1. Sark

2. Will Muschamp

3. Billy Napier

4. Lane Kiffin

5. Neal Brown

says he thinks Neal brown has a small chance thinks Napier hype has died down but doesnt rule out him getting a look, says a small chance Kiffin could be a candidate but not much info on if hes serious about wanting the job or just looking for a raise says if Kiffin interview he will most likely get the job

 

I saw this and can't stop laughing. It's almost maniacal at this point. I'm going to have to step away for a bit.

Thats some piss poor intellectually dishonest logic and you know it. Half the people mentioned in this thread have never even sniffed a championship.

Let's Go B!!! I bounce back quickly!!! Lol. Who would you lean toward for head coach if you had to pick?!

If not MC, I'd look at Freeze. But with his baggage I'd look towards Napier and Elliot. 

[wcware 1,365]

HUGH NALL!!! Bring back Nall ball baby! If it’s going to be bad let’s make it epic

AU boosters when the fans react to "Let's go with Steele"

You post the nonsensical drivel that you post all the time, and you are going to talk about logic. Name one other candidate that has been a HC for 20 yrs, genius. There isnt one. That's why he can be judged on that and they can't. He's never won anything that mattered. Anyone with a brain can see the difference.
