Jimmy Rane's contributions couldn't even bring in Louisiana's head coach. So is there any point to taking his money??? Why keep a structural model that can't even bring in the head coach of UL LAFAYETTE?!? Painfully true. Now THAT is the ego killer we need tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napier and company can kiss it. We will find a great coach in spite of this clown show we have been forced to watch unfold. Uhhh, because they don't like the conditions of the offer???

If you make the conditions bad enough for the ones you don't want, you can pare it down to just the one guy you want. Maybe the fix is still in?

AuburnEagle79 2,165 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Smart move on his part. How on earth can the PTB see Saban ruling top to bottom with an iron fist and not think that's the way we should be. Winning big has a cost. It's not easy, and the process isn't fun. We have to commit or continue to be passed by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been trying to tell people around here this for years. Until Auburn gets out of its own way this will continue. No one can reach the pinnacle here as long as that old regime is in place. This man worked for Saban and Dabo, he knows what is needed to consistently succeed and Auburn is not offering any of that to a coach. Settle in for another few years of mediocrity boys and girls.

aubiefifty 16,755 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 well there is still the guy at cincinnati unless auburn is not interested......... and if steele is out as head coach does he stay? does he apologize to the auburn fans? and how many years does he need to get his alabama state retirement? i wonder if he screwed himself on that or is auburn going to be forgiving of him and let him coach or give him an office job to get his retirement? so many questions......

aucom96 1,618 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 At this point, we should have just kept Gus because it's clear you can insert whatever name you want on the head coach's desk, the ceiling at Auburn will always be kept artificially low.

gravejd 3,270 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The only way Napier does not take the job is if he is not allowed to run the program as he pleases. He was not giving that ability and so the next coach will not be given the freedom to run his team like he wants. I hate it so much for this team and school that I love. We could not get out of our own way. We had the chance to raise Auburn to new heights. But those heights will not be reached by a puppet of a coach. Auburn is headed to the wasteland of college football. The tubs and Gus years are going to be our golden age. I’m literally sick at my stomach as I start to understand the sickness that is our athletic department. I will forever hope that AU is successful. It’s going to be hard for me to pull for this team in the near future. Our school is sick and it’s going to take some really hard years to purge the sickness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeek 16,649 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 When Sark and Napier turn you down maybe give on some of this? It won't happen but I'm praying Auburn crawls to Napier and changes their mind. I was so hyped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The fat cats like Jimmy Rane won't regret anything. He and others love the power that they have. Auburn is a house of cards. Some day that house will come falling down and the BOT's will come down too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHDAU1 240 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I'm sick to my stomach over this one. Napier was who I wanted very badly. Young guy, had great background, players love him, and he gets the most of out the talent he has on his roster, something Auburn has sorely been lacking under Malzahn. Oh well, like many others have said on this topic, this is what happens at Auburn. Every. Stinking. Time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s why they ultimately failed. The PTB felt they had a pretty good run and felt it was time to move on from Gus with their guy. This is nothing new, it seems, about Auburn. It just got exposed this time and it’s about time. JMO> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyinsocal 831 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Here's where real, and only real change can be forced upon these micromanaging egomaniacs: 1) Intense public pressure by the fan base (it's worked a little so far). 2) Immediately stop ALL football related donations. 3) Immediately cancel football tickets. 4) Half the football team enters the transfer portal. 5) The football program sinks into the abyss with a continuous downward spiral, losing season after losing season. 6) The BOT's good ole boys finally get their politically connected rear ends kicked out. You see. Napier is a forward thinking, big picture guy on the order of a Saban. EVERYTHING you can imagine has structure, and every single detail is planned out to the nth degree. Read the SI article on him to understand the breadth and depth of what this guy has done there. It is truly next level stuff. Could Auburn support all of what he does at ULL? I don't know. What I do know, is NO established coach worth their weight will agree to having members of a previous staff forced upon him, without his evaluation, input, and final say so.

Our record will reflect that. The Urban and Dabos are rare Correction, Auburn is interviewing as if they are the "haves" and are obviously dictating certain stipulations to the candidates.....the candidates are declining Auburn offers as if we are the "have not's." When a dang Sunbelt HC says not thanks to Auburn University, then someone on this interview/hiring committee think too much of Auburn. You don't place stipulations on the candidate in the initial interview, and leave the candidate wondering who the hell will be his boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
