UPDATED: Napier withdraws

[Sully to Beasley 643]

I am going to take a break from posting here for a while. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See y'all later.

STB signing out for now.

So many the things.... A good coach won’t let someone dictate their staff. EXCEPT Suppose you’re a Sun Belt coach making very good money. Then Auburn offers you 16 or 20 million—and you’ve just gone from doing quite well to being set. We shouldn’t judge either reaction.

JBoy says that Sark never interviewed. Said he turned down an interview as well. 

He's smart and after he saw Cristobal & Napier back out, he knew he wanted no part of this type "leadership" pushing their weight around.

Dang, I have to quit clicking on this thread.  I get my hopes up that there is something new being reported, something positive.  The BP just spikes each time I thing about this crap.  It is a situationally normal, FUBAR.

Yep. Auburn is going to have to rock bottom to change.

Sad but true. It hurts to watch it happen but it has to

We’ve played for 2 NCs, 3 SEC titles and beaten Bama 4 times in the last 10 years. Even with our dysfunctional leadership, we’re not close to being like the Mississippi schools. 

Certainly something to be proud of!! 🤔 And if you look at the Head coaches in that time. maybe the dysfunctional leadership is not that bad after all....that was a joke, or was it??  I’m not defending any of there actions so y’all dont go there with me. I want what’s best for AU. Seems to me when you step back and look at the big picture as stated above.  They must be on the same page.

Napier must be banking on that LSU job opening up next year

LSU football would never hire a Louisiana coach, no matter how much sense it would make to do so.  It would be beneath them, at least in their own arrogant minds.

He is coach in waiting at Bama.

Is this a "PTL" or are you raising your hand? Either way it's pretty funny!

One of the power brokers has a lot of weight to throw around.

Apparently Auburn offered full automony to all candidates, but said no to Napier and Sark's extreme salary and/or buyout demands. These guys basically took themselves out.

I hope that’s true.

I do believe that as time goes on, the true story will be seen, and all the crap that was spewed about the coaching search was just others trying to bash Auburn and put us in a negative light.

Who cares. We got our guy.

There are definitely conflicting reports about this, and it makes sense that Auburn would refute earlier reports that Napier was told his hiring power would be limited.

Good point

[johnnyAU 3,630]

There are just some folks who would never be satisfied with who Auburn hired unless it was their favorite candidate. 

Give Harsin a chance. Dude can flat out coach, and he has that fire we've been looking for.
