AUDynasty 585 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Just now, DAG said: I get that is the point but what I am saying is the damage is already done, so if we end up with the guy from Costal Carolina, our fans do not need to be bitching. This is where we are at. I highly doubt someone with experience will be walking in now , which all of us are high on. What if there are someone with some sort of championship pedigree who would be interested in coming here but wants to see how this thing play out with boosters? Let there be a meltdown first. Let boosters attack each other. Then, a coach can assert himself and demand full authority when Auburn Football is "at its lowest" or rock bottom. Then the only way is up.

Yep and that sucks because I was so excited to take my family to some games. Oh well, back in the savings it goes. Unless something drastic changes.

Thats why the Napier news was leaked so that he would say no and embarrass the school until we finally can get a football coach and just let him coach and have full control. Has your source heard anything about this mystery “Mt Rushmore” of college football candidate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only hope is Brent V. now, who has ZERO hc experience but has learned from Dabo. Of course, I can't see why he would come here if he has to split autonomy with the boosters.

Barnacle 9,064 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 2 hours ago, Barnacle said: This is what I'm concerned about. I'm concerned about our head coaches getting neutered in their head coaching decisions, who they can hire, and who they can fire, etc. Not saying that Napier is a poor choice, I just hope he has a handle on what he wants his program to operate like, and that he will be willing to fight tooth and nail for his autonomy. Well it turns out Napier was willing to fight for autonomy, and Auburn wasn't willing to provide it. Much respect to Napier for walking if that is truly the case.
