I'll get behind coach - but I get 24 hrs to be disappoint and rage Pretty much where I am as well. Right now, just can’t see this guy recruiting with the big boys. Sure hope I am wrong. One of the main reasons we paid Gus $21 million to leave was because we needed a recruiting bump. I think a lot of us were wanting a Bruce Pearl type hire. This guy isn’t it. We will see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chizhead 618 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Cole Cubelic is selling me on this guy. I'm listening to the Jboy interview and Cole thrilled with the hire and is extremely impressed with ADAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnMike86 43 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 He always recruited the #1 class in the MWC. BSU was consistently in the top of the G5 recruiting rankings. Yeah, that doesn't mean much as to what the future holds here in comparison to our rivals, but its all we have to go on at the moment. I know this may open up more doors out west, which is full of talent. We'll still get our Auburn guys. We'll see if he can get down in the trenches and pull a few players from our rivals. If he can great, if not, it's not the end all be all. If Gus can land top 10 classes here, I fully believe any coach who cares can land top 10 classes. I am more concerned with class balance and player development. Also, landing players that fit our new system. This is way to early to tell or predict doom on. Let it play out.

His resume' reads an awful lot like Mushcamp, only difference is that Kiffin's got the wreckage of an NFL team that Boom doesn't have, and a couple of mid-level conference championships. Freeze would be no walk in the park with such a target on his back, he's just this side of nuclear waste as far as anybody in the SEC is concerned. If he really wants Tennessee, they deserve him.

penguin149 391 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 A quick Google search.....Kiffin is 65-39 as a HC. He's flashy but flaky....he'll leave OM or his mouth will get him in trouble. Harsin is 76-24. Napier is 27-11 but trending positively; still too close to the Saban tree. Out of those 3? I'll take Harsin! He's ours and needs complete support. I trust he'll hire good recruiters that will help him learn how to recruit the SEC. As for the mention of TA&M getting it together....Mond has started there for what....6,7,8 years (it seems like it!) and their OL is FULL of seniors. JImbo's toughest season might be in 2021. Honeymoon is over and losing a lot to graduation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 You have a guy that has the reputation of being a likeable hard ass, but he’s going to hold you to a standard. He tried to get BSU to move to a new conference to take the next step as a program. If he has legit autonomy and has the mindset with the AU resources as far as staff goes, I’m pumped.

But yes, this was going to be A&M's year, so it will be interesting to see how long they can last. *** I never truly believed we would be able to land Cristobal. But I really wanted Napier. I have no idea how to feel about this hire. BigVolDaddy argued that this was our Butch Jones...at least I don't see this guy declaring us "Champions of Life."

After Lane Kiffin got fired by Pat Haden, midseason, in an LAX terminal, I figured I would never see the day where anyone on this forum would be genuinely interested in him being the head coach at Auburn.

tiger78 13 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I disagree and wouldn't want either one. How about we support our new coach? That is what Auburn fans have done since I have been involved for 40 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
