If Auburn had hired a coach last year with two total years coaching experience most on this board that are pining for Deion Sanders would have rioted. Half the fan base referred to Malzahn as “that high school coach”….but even he had vastly more experience than Deion Sanders even if a lot of it was at the high school level. And no one has discussed what happened at Prime Prep Academy…….which basically ruined the lives of a lot of those “high level” players he brought in on promises of accreditation and getting them to and through college only to completely collapse in a heap of debt, gross mismanagement, and lawsuits….and guess who paid the cost when their college scholarships were stripped because they no longer academically qualified? It takes a lot more than a great personality to be a successful SEC head coach. Prime prep is a different story. He has some blame it in it but it's moreso trusting the wrong people to HELP him run Prime prep. He can't do everything and when you don't have the knowledge...you just don't know. No, I wouldn't want him at AU but let's not down a man who's doing the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DyeCampAlum 335 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 If we hire a coach, someone with NFL-only experience is a recipe for disaster. Football knowledge is secondary to program management here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got the #1 recruit in the nation to sign to him at an HBCU school. We’re struggling to sign 3 stars I doubt that would happen. Deion said he wanted to coach FSU years ago and they ignored him. That’s something he hasn’t forgot I don’t know about that. The lure of bringing your alma mater back from the ashes is a BIG draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead 525 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 The more fun question here is who in the hell is going to be responsible for finding the next head coach? I think it is pretty obvious that our current A/D will not be here long term. Are they going to let him conduct the search or make a call? If not him, then who? This could not have happened at a worse time. What a complete and total Charlie Foxtrot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn I use to hear him back in 2007 or so with Matt Chernoff at 680 I think He’s still there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasEagle 202 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 12 Minute mark of the podcast. The whole podcast is very well done. If Auburn football fires Bryan Harsin, AU should target Deion Sanders (tennessean.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead 525 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 If I am in charge, I have two primary criteria -- they must be Credible and Stable. Credible means they have sufficient experience and status to appeal to the administration, other coaches, and recruits. Stable does not mean they have not changed jobs, but means their life is not fricking crazy. We need a calm and collected person to see Auburn through this mess -- it's going to take some time and a lot of work. So let's examine some of the named candidates and apply this criteria--- Prime Time -- Stable. Certainly credible with recruits -- unsure about other coaches and admin. Freeze -- Not sure he passes the credible standard at this point. Dell -- I think he might pass both. His inexperience as a head coach might be problematic with our current dysfunction. Sean Peyton -- would surely pass both. Aranda -- would surely pass both. Grimes -- same as Dell. Feel free to add others and do your own analysis. If you find the guy that passes both, offer him $15 million a year with no buyouts. That will be the standard soon for the big boys. Saban is worth way more than that. Make him create a budget, but otherwise give him full control over buying the groceries and over ops. And then go out and hire someone (expensive and good) from NFL, NBA or Premier League marketing to navigate the new world of NIL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURealist 2,185 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 if Harsin's out as is rumored, I do hope his replacement is Hugh Freeze. Canning a guy after murky charges of moral impropriety and character flaws and then replacing him with a guy with a history of NCAA violations and a penchant for hookers? Gives this story that dash of ironic symmetry other programs can only dream of. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a big difference between Grimes and Dell due to experience as Coordinator. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
