JTFazz 386 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 FWIW, average age of an FBS head coach is 50. The average FBS on-field coaching staff is 42.5 years old. Among the Power Five, the average on-field staff is 44.2 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took over and has been bad, even for Vandy. He's had some good players that have gone on to the NFL. He was elite at stopping spread offenses. Hopefully he can with modern day offenses when he actually has talent. I never expected him to be elite at Vandy, but most of his teams weren't even competent. Hopefully that was solely on recruits. Counter Point: it seems our HC has been able to win with 3* recruits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamp Eagle 5,128 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I think Mason is an excellent hire. Bobo, if true, doesn’t excite me, but I’ll have to trust CBH on who he chooses. T-Rob seems to be a possibility, that would be great. I haven’t heard Will Friend’s name mentioned in awhile; didn’t even know he was coaching. Whatever CBH decides, I’ll have to trust and go with on his staff. Hope more out there are with me on this. I believe in supporting until I can’t anymore, just like with Gus.

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 All the talk about Mason's age ... if you all wouldn't have told me he was 51, I would have believed he was in his early 40's. Guy looks good for his age! Also, the most important part: This is very good hire! Pumped to see the team next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU-Allen 85 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 1 hour ago, W.E.D said: has passed Mason by. I am with you on this one, I love the guy, just a little hesitant to say he is a great defensive mind. However, I do think he will have a chip on his shoulder to show what he can do where he has talent. I don't think they could have found a better guy though. Love his ability to connect with players, his mindset and his drive. I don't get paid the big bucks to coach so will trust Harsin and the others that were coaches that were actively recruiting him from the league. I will say to make the hire while other schools were already in play for him says a lot about the ability of Coach Harsin and it must say a lot that Mason trusts in his ability to coach at Auburn. War Damn Eagle. 110% support and excited to know that I will be proved wrong in the months and years that follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotsAU 1,311 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Don’t love this hire, but don’t hate it either. His defenses at Stanford were good, but that was several years ago in a depleted pac 12. His defenses and recruiting were not good at Vandy. But it’s Vandy. Also, not a huge fan of the base 3-4, but most teams don’t use base packages much anymore anyway. We could’ve done much worse than Mason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
