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. Yep. Auburn is going to have to rock bottom to change. 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. Are you serious? He's a Sunbelt HC that received an interview with a top SEC program (top 15 in the country), he knew he'd be offered a triple/quadruple the salary at Auburn. He was likely very interested in getting an SEC HC job at a place like Auburn. During that interview, someone (Tim Jackson/Allen Greene/Bo Jackson????) told Napier that He wouldn't have complete control of His own team OR the building of His own freaking staff. Now you say Napier can kiss it? I think Mario Cristobal and Billy Napier told Auburn to kiss it. They wanted no part of these control freaks at Auburn who honestly think they know more about coaching college football than the candidates they're interviewing. Two very good candidates have turned Auburn down while this clown show continues to unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think back to Tim Jackson's role in the Gene Chizik regime, then the PTB telling Gus who he could hire, etc. Now we see how some of these same power folks (tim jackson on the committee) are treating this coaching search.

aubiefifty 16,754 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 here is the thing. who in their right mind would allow a couple of backstabbers on their coaching staff when the knuckle heads already stabbed another coach in the back. and i bet right now down the road it will come out steele and garner did it out of love for auburn or something like that.

If he turned us down it would be b/c we gave him a **** offer. My guess is that we gave him an attractive financial offer with the stipulation that he retain certain staff members. As any coach worth having would do, he told us thanks but no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubiefifty 16,754 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 footballscoop.com Update on Auburn's coaching search John Brice 6-8 minutes Auburn’s search for a new football coach is bringing in another name into the Tigers’ interview and vetting process: UAB coach Bill Clark. Multiple sources late Saturday night told FootballScoop that Clark had emerged as “someone of significant interest” as the Tigers’ administration has continued to seek the right replacement for the fired Gus Malzahn. Clark’s been a proven winner and garnered national attention for his work atop a UAB program that just a few years ago was shuttered. The Blazers on Saturday captured the Conference USA title at Marshall to wrap up their regular season at 6-3. It’s the program’s second C-USA title in the past three years, all under Clark’s tutelage, since UAB reinstated football in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,885 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Man, this is getting more frustrating by the minute!!!! Cristobal and Napier were my top 2 any way! Elliot was probably third on “my list” I think the “committee” is telling candidates who they have to keep on staff and who will be “calling the shots”. And so these candidates are telling them where they can shove it. No coach worth a dog fart is going to want to come here. Even in spite of what AU pays!😡 Oh well, we still have a basketball team to support..... .....for now!🤦♂️😰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1auburn1 1,110 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 At least we know more about how this disfunctional coaching game is played at AU. The PTB allow assistant coaches that want to stay cozy up to them and become political sticks to whack the next HC candidate with when they interview. The potential HC realizes that he's immediately 2nd fiddle to some of the assistants so he runs like the wind away from this nonsense. We'll know who the best politickers are when you see who's retained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These boosters fancy themselves like a Jerry Jones/Al Davis. They believe themselves the smartest guys in the room and by damn they’re going to prove it with the drought of championships. Those damned Patriots and Steelers that have allowed the football people to run the operations have just been lucky to win those 6 championships apiece. Just like bama, Clemson, osu should allow their boosters to be more autocratic with their programs. Then they’d really be competitive and win some games.
