As we've seen at AU, it doesn't matter how good the staff is if the head coach is trash. JFYI, MOUs are worthless in the coaching industry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post MaxCohen216 68 Posted January 18 Popular Post Share Posted January 18 I'm 58 years old and graduated from Auburn in 1985. I watched every home game from the student section for 4 years, as Bo Jackson (Big Train) and Lionell James (Little Train) dominated SEC defenses. Auburn DOMINATED the SEC in the 1980's. And Lionell James had NO PROBLEM taking 2nd fiddle to Bo Jackson, and James was rewarded with a brilliant Auburn career, and made waves in the NFL. I hope Shaun Shivers will see the value of this, even if he does (and will) take a 2nd seat to Tank Bigsby next year. If not, then next man up. Auburn begs NO PLAYER to stay. I watched in awe as Pat Dye came to the Student Union EVERY DAY and took our questions, and answered them directly, with no deflection whatsoever. I remember distinctly the questions I asked Dye, and his candid answers. Any player who "wants to defect" from Auburn, I say this: get the hell out of here. There is a narrow road leading to Auburn Football opportunities, and a WIDE road leading out. I don't expect young people to understand where I'm coming from. And I don't hold a grudge if they don't understand the history from which I speak. 6 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would say that’s far from dominating the conference. Auburn won more championships after they left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dang. As someone else said in another thread post, the best thing about Big Kat was his name, not his game. I'm not sure we lost anything, except to give another a guy a chance to truly excel at that position. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He wasn’t second fiddle. They were in the same backfield. Completely different offense. You can’t fault someone for wanting to play more, especially if they feel like they put forth more effort during practice and other activities. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember distinctly the questions I asked Dye, and his candid answers. I used to eat lunch with Coach Dye occasionally when I worked in Tallassee at the East Tallassee Cafe. Most accessible head coach of a major college program of his time. First time I saw him in there, he offered to let me sit at his booth because there were no other seats available. Coach Jordan was that way too. I remember Coach Jordan introducing himself to me when I was walking across campus before fall classes started as a freshman. He introduced himself to me, not the other way around. When I was a sophomore, he saw me on campus and called me by name and asked me how my mother and father were doing. Great men, but humble too. I've only cried twice when great football coaches died - Jordan and Dye. 4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1auburn1 704 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 If CRG is coaching there next year, UTk fans (what few are left) will get to enjoy watching the D-line technique of avoiding swim moves, locking up with the O-lineman and try to bull-rush every play. So wonderful to watch. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So Big Kats hypocrisy and lack of loyalty to the school that loved him came back to bite him. Amazing he didn’t understand what was going on up there with Pruitt. It had been in the news for weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
