WarEagleHunter1221 1,690 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 For people who would know, what are we looking at as for as his recruiting lability goes? I know it’s hard to judge at the schools he’s been at. I would think he could bring Twill energy and guys would love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDUBB4AU 5,121 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Not sure about this one . That’s why I don’t make the big bucks to coach at AU . I would have paid Robinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethridge could end up being a HOFer, but as of right now, I don't think he's anywhere near as accredited for the position as T-Will. Not saying it's bad or good, it just is Sounds like he’s been coaching for a decade already and spent time at a respectable FB program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j0hnnyRingo 1,445 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I’m all for this. Dude recovered from a broke neck and came back to play for Auburn. Could have easily hung it up. That’s passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meh130 1,043 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Another "Good Fit" hire. Young, inexperienced DB coach under a DC who is a legendary DB coach. High upside. Should be able to become a good recruiter because of his youth and closeness to the game. We did not need a home-run DB coach hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnowItAll 28 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 4 hours ago, AUBwins said: TRob likely not coming back so a chance for ZE. No way TRob takes a demotion to come back. TRob doesn't strike me as a guy who gets into the alma mater thing, he is a professional and career oriented. I suspect TRob will take a DC position at a G5 school to build his resume out from under Muschamp a bit. Or he might even get a shot at P5 this season. I hear there are 19 DC spots open across FBS. I am happy with Zac. He has been through a lot with that injury that coulda killed him. This tells me he will put emphasis on player safety and proper form tackling.

I remember the student managers for the football team telling me in 2009 and 2010 he was really good at coaching up the younger players. Same here. Again no way to prove it since I didn't put it down in writing but was just thinking about him and I was hoping he would at least get an interview. Glad to see that whatever he did/said impressed Coach Mason enough to take a chance on him. I don't think *every* coach needs to be a great recruiter out of the gate if you surround him with other great recruiters and coaches that he can learn from. Very excited to see what Coach Etheridge can do with some really good mentors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A HUGE part of Auburn's recruiting is selling the family angle, including being able to point to examples of where we support, cultivate and develop our own AFTER their life as a player is over.

Zeek 16,650 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Just got home from coaching a tournament. We went 3-2 today (I'm at a new program and have 8 middle school kids starting against high school competition). Anyway without reading comments here's my knee jerk reaction. Hope he can recruit well. He seems to have a good track record at CB. He has more experience then some guys we've done this with before. Mason is a DB guy so I'm sure he'll grow and improve. Has one of the greatest motivational backgrounds ever. Try and tell him you can't do something or make an excuse. I still have my ZEtheride wrist band/watch somewhere. Good hire! Not as solid as a TRob but you don't have to give him a bunch of fluff titles and unnecessary money to appease an ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Very wise of CBH to hire/rehire Auburn men in Zac and Caddy. That goes a looooong way for someone like me who wants to see a contiuation of some kind of connection between our coaches and the Auburn way. I don't want Auburn to all of the sudden be Boise State or USCe or some other university. Auburn needs to stay Auburn and we do that by continuing to have a few coaches that have that connection. This is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
