I’ve been very critical of Greene for a while but he damn sure saved AU from hiring Steele. It’s past time to move on from the good ole boy network. Also, Napier and Clark never got offers. Napier wanted 6 plus million and AU laughed at him and moved on. Clark called and asked to be interviewed. As far as that went. Two outside guys are in the power positions of HC and AD. This is a good chance to bust up PTB. If Harsin wins and Green sticks around, it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArgoEagle 1,790 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I want to hear what the players and prospective recruits who waited to see who our new coach would be have to say about our new coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneyDuck5 15 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Also to note, this came out of left field with no rumblings of it til it was announced. Clearly your "insiders" aren't inside anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve posted a few times but be backed out of USCe because they wouldn’t give him $5m+ and he wanted to bring his current staff and give the top 5% salaries. He seems like a guy who’s not remotely understanding what he is worth. Tennessee will pay him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not how we start a new era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabby 1,958 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I truly hope this is the break we need from our boosters. However I wonder if we simply kept going down the list to find the first coach willing to accept Steele on staff and limited autonomy on hires. I hope this isn't the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin149 391 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I'm excited about this hire. Was not on the Mario bandwagon.....he recruits well but gameday coaching is not so great. 3-2 this year and defaulted into the PAC-12 championship game. Lost to 2 bad teams this year....Gus beat him last year - AU had a true freshman at QB...he had a 1st round pick. All of the other options had warts as well. Too close to UAT & Saban, recruiting/hooker issues, etc. Meyer, Stoops, et al were NEVER coming here! Leave Muschamp alone and get who he wants at AU. Even if Steele is innocent of all charges, CBH needs a clean start for 2021. So much talk about new beginnings....well here we are!!! Embrace it!!!

He's coming from the mountain west. That does not equal SEC success. What makes you think he's any better than malzahn was? I thought it was established that anybody was better than Malzahn well before he was even fired. 😝 FTR, he has a better and more proven Track record than any of the other names that were even mentioned. Help me out here, who was the coach that had proven SEC success that we were supposed to hire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should figure that out soon I would expect. @ellitorstill some guys waiting on the hire to commit, correct? @Barnacle No. We had some committed guys waiting on the hire to then sign. We did lose one today though, transfer Eric Wilson expecting to be a real NFL Prospect. He’s likely to end up at LSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
