Umm, quite the opposite - he clearly side steps the question. If he wasn’t coming, he would have said “I’m going to be the head coach at Oregon next year” or “I’m not interested in the job”. The only thing he says is that he hasn’t been contacted. The dude is coming to Auburn. This is like Saban saying that he’s not leaving the Dolphins to coach at Alabama.

I have no issue nor do I feel like au is any closer or farther away from getting Mario to AU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 1,962 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 IMO, as long as Oregon has games to play, he will continue to sidestep. And as long as he is in negotiations with the Oregon administration, he will continue to sidestep. That doesn't mean AU is a "NO" for him, just that he's still got games to play and his own current job to balance out. Personally, I see no reason Cristobal would want to leaver Oregon, unless it's all about money. But I don't think he's all about money. The Oregon job is a much more attractive situation for him.

"I'm not going to be the Head Coach at Alabama." - Nick Saban "They'll have to carry me out of here in a pine box." - Tommy Tuberville Dude, if you believe anything these guys say when it comes to job prospects, then you're a full on sucker.

AURealist 2,185 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hmmmm... No longer confident in Mario moving to Auburn. Probably comes down to his level of desire to play in the big leagues right now. How many of those are giving us 'Mario to Auburn' intel were telling us just last week that Gus would be our coach for 2021? Can we really trust our intel?

Not gonna lie @The Jboy Show has been money for a while. He still thinks Mario is in the lead but it’s a fluid situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisenhower_1952 87 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 If I were Cristobal, I wouldn't to come to Auburn either and have to deal with Saban, Smart, and Jimbo every year. He can stay at Oregon be the top dog every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 It was basically: yes they want me and I am thinking about it and this is a shout out to the administration that if you want to keep me you better pony up or I am out of here. not exactly a win for AU or Oregon. He is playing both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82b4au 5,568 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 If he wants to be the best, he has to beat the best. And if he wants to be part of the SEC’s up and coming ESPN deal, here is his chance. or he can wallow away in the pac whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s gonna make anyone feel like a move is likely until it actually happens? Nothing is ever set in stone until the school releases an announcement. It’s as good as we’ll get for now.

ValleyTiger 2,894 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 He's now got a championship game to focus on for his current team. This was the thing to do and he didn't say anything that changes AU's or Oregon's negotiations. He may decide to stay, but this was never going to be a 1 or 2 day hiring process.

Oregon replacing UW in the Conference Championship game stalled any chances of getting him this week, so I expect Auburn to wait until next Monday/Tuesday to announce him or Plan B. IMO...and my opinion only...I believe the Steele rumors are in place to keep the players and current commits at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
