We're starting to sound like Tennessee with Gruden. I understand but I think he's infinitely better fit than we're going to get. Those tiers are incredibly concerning.

gr82be 14,363 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 The last I read was that Oregon was working on contracts of 4 assistants that were to expire soon. That was important to Mario and he could very well agree in principle without signing until the others are done. What does that mean for Auburn? Absolutely nothing or maybe a possibility. Who knows?

Oregon's deal is fair for his resume, considering they obviously know him and like him. I could see paying him slightly more, but 7.1 when he is at 4.6. Stupidity I can see the boards now. 7.1 mill for 2 losses...wth. Auburn is stupid. How could Gouge/Green allow for such a travesty. Fire them all I tell you. He can recruit but can’t coach...what an overpaid blah blah loser. Get of of town now. The sooner we end it the better we can start fixing Auburn football. 7.1 million is stupid for a coach who had not won a championship yet. Only one coach deserves that much and it’s Saban.

PikesEagle 168 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Someone needs to explain why Steele is Tier 1. I find myself being swayed to Napier but until Cristobal puts ink to paper, we still have a 0.01% chance. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he just loves it there maybe...... All we kept reading here was that he wanted to get back to the SEC and would be very interested in AU if we came calling. Odd that it appears that’s not happening, especially if those figures are correct. Some one is really bad off either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredst 9,064 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 2 hours ago, Zeek said: Bro I never really saw Steele's DC resume "Steele was Nick Saban's first defensive coordinator at Alabama. After three seasons at Clemson, he was either fired or left on his own in 2012. (There are differing versions how his departure came about.) In 2015, Steele was Les Miles' defensive coordinator for one season. That year, LSU dropped from first to fifth in SEC total defense (ninth to 25th nationally). Since 2016, Auburn's defenses have never finished above fifth in the SEC. Statistically, this season the unit was the worst under Steele, allowing 401 yards per game. However, he was part of two wins over Alabama in 2017 and 2019." Guys I'm not so sure he's even that good of a DC lmao. No, you’re missing it. I’ve been told in another thread that he’s elite and that our defenses under him have been elite. You better get on the Steele Train or you’re gonna get run over brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a sewage center in town we can name after him and Leath? Well, at least Harbert might not be opposed to Billy Napier...Kevin Steele's CURRENT salary would be almost a tripling of Napier's current salary.
