I bet you anything Gus will hire Kevin Steele as their DC. Why would he hire the man who was undermining him at their last place of employment? This is a stretch even coming from you A4E.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Gus always said Kevin was the best DC in college football and we were lucky to have him as our DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 But if not Steele, Gus might consider going after Jeremy Pruitt even though Pruitt is still in hot water by the NCAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe true maybe not true but until I see something concrete I am not going to think the worse of anybody. As for T-Will I am glad he is getting the opportunity to be a DC.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Since AU defense really sucked the last 2 to 3 years, I can't help but wonder why Gus didn't fire Steele and name T-Will as his new DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnacle 9,064 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I'd still like to know about the things we heard about T-Will before everything with Gus went down, and who those rumors came from. There were some disparaging comments passed along here made well before talk of a coup. Seriously doubting their validity now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I’m not surprised. TWill was my favorite assistant coach. I wanted him to be retained but very happy he got this position. And he probably would have left for this position anyway. It basically confirms he was either loyal to Gus or not aware of the situation. I suspected it all along. He’s a much more likable guy than Garner or Steele ( at least on the surface). He’s got the personality and reputation to be a head coach. I’m interested in the rest of Gus’ staff.

PoetTiger 1,896 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 He has a chance now to prove himself as a DC....gonna be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randman5000 4,226 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I speculated as much, as this would explain why KS and TWill didn't like each other. TWill ratted him out and now when given the opportunity to hire his guy, Gus hired the one who was loyal. Best of luck. Hope Gus takes our beat writers with him too.

JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I remember when we temporarily promoted (then Grad Assistant) T-Will to coach Linebackers for the Birmingham Bowl in lieu of Lance Thompson 2015. Gus getting cut by Auburn has turned into a blessing in disguise for our little T-Will. Go be great, sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubiefifty 16,740 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 al.com Ex-Auburn assistant set to be Gus Malzahn’s DC at UCF By Matt Zenitz | mzenitz@al.com 1 minute A popular ex-Auburn assistant is set to reunite with Gus Malzahn at UCF. Travis Williams, a former Tigers linebacker who served as Auburn’s co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach under Malzahn, is expected to be hired as UCF’s defensive coordinator, a source confirmed with AL.com. The news was first reported by ESPN. Williams, who produced Auburn’s first two All-SEC linebackers since 2004, had recently been hired as the linebackers coach at Miami. However, he’ll now make the move four hours across the state to lead Malzahn’s defense at UCF. Matt Zenitz is a senior SEC football reporter for the Alabama Media Group.
