CR 1,407 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Did the AU FB program secretly get the Death Penalty and they're killing it on the sly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Win4AU 1,892 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Why do people dislike Bill Clark? Lack of experience at a high level? Some personality flaw? What’s the deal? I’m not advocating for him but would like to know why he’s a hard no for so many. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chizhead 572 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 He is a hardcore bammer. Steered players awy from AU and created a pipeline to Tuscaloosa, along with publicly disrespecting AU and tearing up letters to his high school players from AU 5 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What makes him a local legend, are traits that lead you to a fan favorite guy with a clearly defined ceiling. E.g, a Matt Luke from Ole Miss. Seems like many people are relying on the transitive property of building UAB into a high-mid tier G5 team into building Auburn out of their high middle bracket. I don't see that occurring Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barnacle 5,253 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 If Clark gets told he has to retain Steele and Garner, he won't come here either. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AUFriction 1,178 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) I'd completely prefer Clark over Steele. He built UAB, one of the worst programs in the group of 5, into a decent program. After they basically got the death penalty, he rebuilt the program from nothing, and they are winning conference championships down there now. I'm not convinced he's an upgrade from Gus (and I'm not convinced any of the coaches still in play are.), but I trust him a lot more than I'd trust Kevin Steele. Plus, he HAS to hate UAT. It was basically their move that got the football program shut down. Edited December 22, 2020 by AUFriction 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aucanucktiger 959 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 The steering players to Bama is old butt hurt sour grapes with no basis whatsover. Some people just feel empowered pretending to know something others don't. We can do better than clark, napier, steele blah blah but this posting rumors as fact is getting real old. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's as good as any to steal these fools' money. Get an enormous buyout coach! and let them dictate anything they want! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand peoples reservations on Clark basically since he’s never recruited at this level but hiring Steele as HC would’ve been so much more of a **** move. I’ll take a younger, hungry coach wanting to prove himself at the P5 level who has won every where he has been over a man who would probably retire soon Every time. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
